Trip to New York (February 2013)

As some of you may know (if you read my blog), I flew to New York in February to sit the LSAT. After having my flight delayed for four hours (original flight was 8:45pm left at 12:30am), I landed in JFK to streets lined with snow.

Mind you I have never seen snow before and was completely ill prepared for the weather. As I worked from the airport to the catch a train to Brooklyn, I could not feel my hands or feet. I arrived at the apartment around 6am and promptly fell asleep from complete jetlay. I woke up at 1pm to the sight of cars and trees submerged under mountains of snow.

Streets lined with snow first day in NYC

After staying indoors for all of two days, I decided to embrace the weather by venturing outside. I started by walking  in the neighborhood of Canarsie, Brooklyn.

 After two days of walking all over Brooklyn, I decided to head to Manhattan. Having been to Manhattan only once before ( July 2013) with my husband, I was scared initially as I did not know how to "get around". So armed with a MTA map, I started my adventure.

 Overall my trip to NYC although short (10 days) was extremely rewarding. I got alot of shopping done and was able to explore Manhattan on my own without getting lost (okay well not completely lost). Sadly, I did not sit the LSAT exam due to an over whelming feeling of not being prepared. However, I plan to sit the exam in October so stay tuned.
