First post and pictures

It's been a week and I'm getting all settled in. I'll share some of my more profound thoughts later on, but first I just thought I'd throw up some pictures. Hopefully people will enjoy them. Any comments or messages in the form of comments are welcome. Love to hear from people.

The first few are my apartment. It's still a bit messy as I'm still getting settled in.






This is the view out of one window, up 181st street:



Here's the other window, not as thrilling. Onramps to the George Washington Bridge:



All I have to do is walk one block for an amazing view of the Hudson, Pallisades, and the GW Bridge:



And only a fifteen minute walk to this view:




Here's a cool pic of downtown and a pic of midtown taken from the Brooklyn Bridge:




And a pic of the World Trade Center site:



Finally, some work-related pictures:

Here's the inside of the Manhattan College chapel:



Here's the outside of the chapel, which is actually on the second floor. On the first floor is the auditorium.



This is the quad, which is the primary gathering place for students (during warm weather). The building is Memorial Hall, where most of the administrative offices are. Unseen are the other buildings on the quad: classroom buildings De La Salle Hall and Miguel Hall, and the chapel.



This is the O'Malley Library, where I work. The Admissions Office is on the top floor.



Finally, here is my brand-spankin' new Dodge Caliber, which I wish I could drive more. Sadly, since there is not a lot of parking near my apartment, I won't be driving it to work. Travel season should be more exciting now though.



And last but not least, here is where I'm living, courtesy of Google Earth, so you can see where my place is relative to the rest of Manhattan. I'm waaaaay uptown.



Anyways, I'll post more soon...
