First I must thank those of you who have written comments. It just makes me feel good to hear back a little bit, especially from those I haven't talked to in a while.
Ok, internet issue resolved. I know you must all be wondering, "what crazy adventures have been happening to Erin lately?" So many things, but I will not write 1 1/2 weeks worth of info. Even I don't have that much patience! A few highlights though....
I celebrated the holiday weekend by spending all my time as a theater junkie! I saw 6 shows in 7 days!!! I love this city! Ready to be jealous? Wednesday I attended 'Spring Awakening' for $27; I celebrated the birth of our country on the 4th with 'Wicked' front row for $27. Yeah, they spit on me! Then 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' with Laura Linney, front row (student price); then 'August: Osage County' winner of 2008 Tony Award for best new play (parents CC, hehe); 'A Chorus Line' starring A.C. Slater (who was sadly the best one in the show... not good); and finally 'Gypsy' starring the incomparable Patti LuPone, who was good but Laura Benanti was superb. I just love live theatre!
I very much enjoyed the visit of my dad and twin brother, Adam. I also enjoyed eating more in the past 5 days than I have this entire time in NY. For the record, it is possible to live cheaply here... depending on your will power! You just have to get a little creative. Por ejemplo: I like to do Bikram Yoga, but can I afford this? No way! However, the Good Lord has provided me with a work-study opportunity with a studio. I work one 6 hr shift/week and get a free week of yoga! Lovely! Its like in the olden days when people bartered. I feel like a pioneer woman. Yeehaw!
OH! Best news of all (probably should have opened with this)..... I've been accepted to the 2 years program!!! WOOHOO!!!! Which means that I'm going to freeze my southern cheese off in the winter, but whatever! So, I have a million things to sort out for the fall, but hooray for that! Now you can all start planning your trips to come visit/feed me! Speaking of which, I should probably call home to inform the parents instead of having them read this and find out. It will help smooth over any discussions we might need to have about the financial side of life. Bank of Nelson needs to have loose pockets for daughter #2!!!

2 years in NYC...fun! Rory and I will be there at the beginning of August with a group of kids from church for a few days, maybe we'll run into you! Bank of Nelson...I love it!
Bank of Nelson Hmmm. Investing Bankers I guess! Doctors are so stupid with their money that this should be easy pickin's for a sophisticated Big City Girl living in NYC. Now why are all the big NY banks in trouble? Can't wait for this performance{;0)
Love, Chairamn of the board and Easiest ATM, DAD
