Yes I just watched a video of her 'first week' in New York and I'm glad that she is talking more. She did have some weird theory about the subway being hot because people are walking outside in the sun and then they are getting hot from walking, I don't know if she always thinks things through but I am happy she is experiencing life in a bigger city. She has a different energy when she is not around her family. I think she is just used to people doing things or her. Kandi has the same voice and way of talking..sometimes a bit low and not energetic. And she needs to work on the accent and her words, but I bet a lot of teens talk that way before they enter college.
