New York, New York

From Harpeth Hall student Elizabeth:
The cold air bites at my face as I walk to work this morning. The subway is busy but at the same time no one speaks to one another. It shows a comparison between Nashville and New York because in Nashville everyone would be talking no matter if they were strangers. The Sony building is buzzing with conversation because most office meetings are held on Mondays and Tuesdays. I had to manage the phones because one line is used for the conference calls. I get nervous answering for important clients. However, I am getting use to answering the phones with confidence. I ran to the Apple store for my boss today. The building is glass and there is a glass spiral staircase that descends into the ground. The fact that the building is clear is the reason I walked by it twice before realizing I was walking past it. In the end I finally finished my errand. The radio stations request singles so I have been putting together CDs and shipping them to the radio stations. There are a few steps to this process, but I have started to get the hang of the computer systems and FedEx website. I have been doing some busy work including filing and documenting things, but it has not been too tiring. I have enjoyed my walk to work because I get to walk down Madison Avenue. The other day we went to Central Park, which was exciting to finally see after years of observing it on TV. There are many more adventures to come, and I am excited to continue to explore.
