writestuff54,

It is really good to read about the helpfulness of your daughter’s roommates. This is something I really like hearing about NYU; extending oneself to help with one’s “neighbors,” which is sadly lacking in the 'burbs where I live. My son was even hanging around on Move In Day, even though he had moved in everything already, to help his new roommate. They have been shopping and socializing together, along with other NYU students my son already knows (through Orientation, Project Outreach, and his old High School).

Brittany sounds like a great place, except for no air-con. Brutal. I love the Vornado fans; when they are blowing strongly at you, even some of the bad humidity seems to disappear.

I can so empathize with your feelings of loss; I have shed a few tears thinking of this major separation process (and I live around 1 1/2 to 2 hours away). No more waiting up for sonny to come home, no more late night chats (face to face though there is the MacBook IChat video chat), no more hearing sonny play his guitar and music.
I used to occasionally complain about the noise (though sonny was generally considerate), now no more need to complain. It is very quiet around here. :(

Oh, well as you said ^^, it is time to do my own thing as well. Anyway, this is our rite of passage also. I wish you well as you move into a freer phase for yourself.

We are not sure the storm will hit NYC, last I read 40% by Friday evening it might pass through eastern Long Island, though the path of hurricanes can never be totally predicted. It is good to have food, water, flashlight, first aid and the like ready, just in case. But hopefully, NYC will be spared except for heavy rain. Hope your other one is not near North Carolina, parts of which are supposed to get hit by the Category 4 Hurricane (as of my reading about the storm last night).
