I love my ten-day fall break.

This past weekend I stayed over at Columbia with Laura and Brian. It was so great to see them, and have our own mini (super mini) DC+2 get-together. It was good for me to see some familiar norcal faces. Plus, I could say hella and not get capped on.

Before I blog about my exciting weekend in NYC I have to say a hugeungous thank you to Timmy for driving me up there. (Even though he doesn't read this I feel like I have to say it otherwise I'm just being ungrateful). Driving in NYC is freaking insane. It looks so stressful and frusturating, but he did a pretty damn good job of navigating through the city in his minivan. It took us three hours to get to NY from Philly, and then another two hours just to get into Manhattan. Ridiculous I tell you.

Well this past weekend was anything but ideal for sightseeing around because it was cold, gloomy, and rainy. Yet, I still had an awesome time. On Saturday Laura, Brian, and I entered the lottery for Rent, and lo and behold Laura's name got picked and we were able to buy tickets for only $20!!! (Yes, that deserved three exclamation points). Freaking amazing. Watching a show on Broadway was definitely the ultimate NY experience. It was an awesome performance =D. Afterwards we walked around Times Square and camwhored like crazy on the giant ferris wheel inside Toys 'R Us. Sidenote: never make fun of someone if they have a lame umbrella while it's windy and rainy because you'll get hit with bad umbrella kharma.

The next day Laura had to study and Brian met up with his sister, so I hung out with Timmy for the day. We went to church where I had to pinch myself for an hour to stay awake. By the end of the sermon my forearms were spotted with red marks and fingernail indents. Yeah, it didn't feel so great. Timmy took me around Greenwich Village, Union Square, and all the way back up to Times Square and the Rockefeller Center. We walked from about 14th street to 42nd just to take a picture with Samuel L. Jackson. Let's disregard the fact that it was a wax figure because it was still cool. AND I TOOK A PICTURE WITH THE BIGGEST HARRY POTTER BILLBOARD I'VE EVER SEEN. IT HAD FLASHING LIGHTS AROUND IT; IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. Needless to say, that picture made me happy =D.

On Monday Brian and I hit up Central Park. Then he had to leave...and this blog entry is getting too long so I'm going to skimp on details. I'm surprised I didn't get lost in NYC or on the subways....but sadly, I got lost in Central Park because there are no street signs and that park is enormous. It was a very nice walk but freaking A I couldn't find my way out to the other side. I went to a museum. I saw Ground Zero. I watched Requiem for a Dream with Laura and her friends. That move is so great, but it's extremely disturbing. After watching it you feel like dying because the world is such a horrible place.

I came back to Haverford on Tuesday by the Chinatown bus (MY PEOPLE!). I had such an amazing time in NYC. Laura Doan you are the best host ever. I forgot how much fun I could have with DC+2 people. There's always something to laugh about and talk about.

Anita, you better have read every word of this entry because I made it for your reading enjoyment. I was only going to make a brief two paragraph entry, but after your caps lock comment I decided to make a nice, detailed, boring entry. All for you buddy =D.

Pictures will be posted when Laura and Timmy upload them.

I'm at my sister's apt for a few days, and now I'm going to make dinner. []Deace.
