I cannot believe that I walked 79 blocks yesterday. Sheer craziness, but it was done.
Disclaimer: This is probably going to be another boring, I did this, then I did that entry, so go ahead and leave now for people who don't like that sort of entry. Actually, most people don't, so ciao to most of my readers.
Volunteered from 9:45-11:30, then worked from 12-4, then shopped with Maliha from 4-6 at H&M.. I got some damn cute tops and a pair of pants. Then I met Chris at the Met (25 minutes late, I might add.. bad me) and we absorbed the beauty of furniture and art and tried to translate German and Latin. The Temple of Duendar was majestic and mysterious with darkness outside the windows... it was so odd looking at it and thinking that it used to be part of ancient Egypt, and that people thought of it as we think of our churches. In any case, the museum closed at 9 (sadly!) so we decided to walk through Central Park (even though I was frightened of rapists) to view the reservoir, which was glittery with reflected lights of the city.
Then I decided we ought to go look at the Upper West Side, as I want to live there someday. It was rather boring and residential. So we walked. And walked. And reached... Times Square!! Which was as alive and awake and neon as ever. I really don't think you can get more New York than Times Square. We went into two stores: Swatch and Sephora. Sephora was great, cause we sprayed on copious amounts of perfume and Chris said we looked like homeless people covering up our stink.
We continued until Madison Square, at which point my poor feet were aching. Consequently, we sat on a park bench until the stink of some mysterious animal/item/person drove us away, all the way back to le dorms! SEVENTY NINE BLOCKS, people! This from the girl who is so lazy that they named a La-Z-Boy for me.. okay, so that didn't happen. But I am very very very lazy. But I walked that much. Gosh, I feel like I could conquer the world now! Or at least, get up from my chair.
And today I am hopefully playing tennis.. keep your fingers crossed people.
