Waking up in the new apartment this morning was like waking up in a completely new body. I layed in bed for 5 minutes, admiring the red brick accents that wrapped the walls and the simple white wall that hosted all the posters I brought with me from the old apartment. I was still waiting for some decoration pieces to come in the mail to put in my room.

I got out of bed, feeling like I had just slept for at least 14 hours. I yawned and took a big stretch and stood up to look out the windows of my apartment. Our street was somewhat busy at this time, but it was only 11 AM. I remember hearing car horns outside of my window last night while I was trying to rest, but I kept tossing and turning.

I stepped out into the living room and I see Kaia sitting on the couch while trying to connect the TV to our Wi-fi router. She had the instructions sitting in her lap as she fiddled with the remote and menu settings of the TV, getting frustrated by the second.

"Having trouble there?" I say as I nudge Kaia, kicking her out of her frustration bubble so she noticed me.

"The damn TV isn't connected to the wifi and i'm legit about to roundhouse kick this motherfucker" Kaia says as rage fills her eyes. I decide to help her and try to calm her already fried nerves. "Here, let me try," I say to Kaia.

I put the password in on the TV for the wifi and after the first try, the TV finally connected us to the Wifi and sent us back to the main menu. Kaia hits her mouth with her hand, shocked it only took me one try.

"I- How did you do th- You know what nevermind. I'll let you know if I need you when I connect anything to the wifi since you have the magic touch." I giggle as Kaia says as she huffs out a big breath, annoyed and frustrated. She shuffled her feet back into her room and started to unpack her clothes and hang them in her closet one by one. I decided that I should probably unpack as well, knowing our list of to-do's to get done today was very long.

Once we were finished unpacking, we checked the clock and it said the time was "2:47 PM". We gave each other a high-five, knowing we finished hours before we were supposed to. This meant we had time to go complete our tasks around the city.

Since Kaia and I were already semi-dressed, we decided to throw on some shoes and head to the grocery store. We grabbed our wallets, reusable bags, and metrocards and we headed to the subway. Luckily, the kitchen came completely furnished, so we didn't have to move our fridge from Toronto to New York which would have been a pain in our asses

Her and I grabbed our coats and we bolted out the door and hurried to the subway. We swiped our cards and jaunted into the train station hurrying to catch the next train. The New York subway definitely wasn't as clean compared to the metro system in Canada. If you told me the subway in New York was clean, I would laugh at you and say that you're joking. I've seen four different types of stains, three different liquids, and five rats that were the size of teacup dogs, so it's been a pretty eventful day to say the least.
