I'm finally in the Empire State and I begin in 3 days. I've made a few runs down to the lower east side trying to figure out the never-ending maze that is the New York subway system. You can't help but let the energy of the city sink in and fuel you for whatever lies around the next turn. As Day One looms closer I can only imagine what the next 10 weeks will be like; I keep telling myself if I don't know something I simply don't know there is no need to worry about it now. Three days to go and all I can say is I think I'm ready!

Three weeks away from the beginning of the next 10 weeks. I have applied, been accepted, and already have visited wd~50 in New York City. Chef Wylie Dufresne (recently on Top Chef Masters) is the delightful food, physics and chemistry junkie who owns me for the winter term. I plan to document my adventures with WD at number 50 Clinton street and post as many pictures of my creations as possible. Enjoy!
