Back in Brooklyn

So I'm back at Pratt, (taking a break from unpacking) and adjusting to being back at school. Classes don't start til tuesday, though, which is good to give me some time to get ready.

I had a nice weekend with my mom, who drove me and all my van-full of stuff down. We stayed at my aunt's house Friday night, then checked in and moved in all my stuff from 9-11 yesterday. My cousin helped and the three of us went to breakfast. Then was my first trip to Ikea (the new one in Brooklyn!) for 3 hours, a little unpacking and then dinner with my aunt and cousin at a restaurant we (my family) had been to near the Mariott at the Brooklyn Bridge. We were going to go to Grimaldi's but the line was longer than I'd ever seen it, probably like an hour and a half wait, at least. And it wasn't even that late. This morning after we got here from my aunt's house again, my mom and I had breakfast from Bergen on my balcony (!) with my new Ikea furniture. We set up my room a little more, and then we were going to go to Grimaldi's (again) but the line was too long (though not AS bad as last night) and there was no parking, and neither of us was really hungry, so we just headed back to Pratt and said goodbye, and my mom headed home to the 'house full of boys'.

I still have lots to unpack, mostly clothes, but I can already tell my room is going to be so nice. I'll post a picture when it's done if I remember. I'm not really looking forward to the work starting up again (it hits you like a wall, if walls could hit) but I'm kind of excited to see what my new classes are going to be like.
