We Came Together
I went to New York for fall break this week, my first trip there, and it was amazing. It was my first college friend surprise visit and it worked out great. Boy was Jeff sure shocked.
I had a few of his friends help me coordinate the visit, as well as some help from my main man Jason Chan. Farrell was there too, which means Farrell, Jeff, and Jason have all met! Nuts, I know.
Check out the playlist I made for the airport and other times during travel that require listening to music.
A lot happened on this trip. I toured around for most of the time and walked a lot. I thought it was one of the coolest places I've ever been. I liked Central Park and the pizza the best.
Can you believe this picture exists?
Leaving New York was crazy. We bought cheap standby tickets, thinking we could easily get a flight out on Tuesday, but we couldn't. The weather was bad and all the seats were full anyways because it was the day after a holiday. I stayed the first four nights of my trip at NYU and my fifth and final night in the apartment of my friend's older brother in Queens. We got a large pizza in a very authentic pizza place where the entire family played a part in the business. Very cute.
Morning and early afternoon flights were canceled on Wednesday, so we sat in the apartment watching different TV shows. We watched an episode of Star Trek where a woman fell in love with Data even though he was a robot and could never truly feel anything. After we ate some awesome $5 Chinese food we caught a 7pm flight back to Atlanta.
I didn't have class today. So I did laundry and cleaned my room. My friend Ian got a hookah in the mail from his mom. The package included all sorts of lovely flavored tobacco. Unfortunately hookahs are considered paraphernalia and are a illegal at Emory. Pooh Gas. Think of how many friends we could have made.
Here is what I had been listening to the most since I last updated itunes.
I have a feeling some of that will look differently after my trip to New York.
new york is the shit...that's awesome that you had a good time. hopefully tomorrow will begin something halfway as fun?
