When I arrived to NYC on Sunday, I noticed that FIT was 20 blocks away from my apartment!! And actually, I’m not used to walking. But all around me, NY got my attention – those amazing buildings, colors and people helped me enjoy and forget that I was walking for so long.
This first day was so good! The school is much bigger than I thought, so at first I got kind of lost and I couldn’t find my classroom. But then some nice girls helped me to find it. The classes were exactly what I expected. My first class was HAR 016 – Fashion Art for Fashion Designers, where I learned the correct proportions for fashion sketches. Everyone was really nice when I told them that I was from México. I was not the only international student in class – there was another boy, Rodrigo, from Venezuela. My professor was very nice and kind. She actually helped us buy our supplies for the class.
My second class was HAC 063-Careers in Advertising and Marketing Communications. This class was more theoretical than the first one but very interesting as well and also exactly what I was expecting. The professor’s examples were based on his personal experience in the fashion industry.
The school atmosphere is nice, don’t you think? During our lunch break, I hung out with friends and ate a slice of delicious pizza from Rosa’s, right across the street from the D Building. I also enjoy watching other FIT students yesterday. I found some of their outfits so original, don’t you agree? I wore something simple – a crochet white t- shirt and a green skirt.
So how was your first day?

hope u’ll have a great time!i really miss everything there when i took the program last summer!xxx
My first day of school was awesome as well! My first period teacher was such a bubbly character that I knew our time together would be fun-filled. The class is called illustration for fashion designers(I think) and I immediately saw my drawings dramatically improve. In my second class the business of fashion, we learned alot about textiles. My first day of school was wonderful and very similar to that of Ximena! <3
