NYC Week 2

I am exhausted. We've been sitting in classrooms for entire days talking about urban issues and doing group presentations. I am glad that starting tomorrow we will be out exploring the city. We will go on group neighborhood tours tomorrow, explore Battery Park on Wed, and the UN on Thurs. I can't believe we are off to India on Friday evening. 

I have been keeping a personal journal, which helps me collect my emotions and personal thoughts. But I hope that keeping this blog will help me stay connected to all of you. Feel free to post comments. I'd love to hear what you think. 

We have an Alumni dinner tonight so I will have to get ready. We have a couple of readings to finish for tomorrow and our first mapping assignment due. We had to walk around the neighborhood of Morningside Heights and map out the physical and social characteristics and networks. 

I feel myself getting exhausted and burned out already. This is a sign that I need to slow down and take some rest. I hope to write again soon before I leave to Bangalore. Have a great week!
