New York

I went to new york this weekend with two of my friends from the DC program.  One's from CT and the other is from CA.  We drove up to my friends house in CT where they graciously opened their house for us and even made us pancakes in the morning.  We got there late friday night and went into New York early saturday morning and spent the whole day there.  Went back to CT late sat night and left for DC at noon on sunday.  It was a good trip and thanks Lauren (friend from CA) i was able to go to the statue of liberty.  For some reason when you are at a place you never go to the sights nearby.  For example when i spent the semester in CA i rarly went to the beach even though it was across the street.  Same way i have never been to the Statue of Liberty.  It was never on my things to do list.  Anyways we took the ferry in the blistering cold and say the giant women.  Afterwards we tried to navigate the most complicated subway system ever.  If you come to DC the subway system is very simple and easy to use for everyone.  We found are way and it's not that complicated im just over reacting because i think the DC metro is amazing.  So we walked around Times Square.  Played ROCK BAND at the MTV store.  Side note:  that game is just great.  then watched Rent.  it was good but not great. the guy who played the drag queen stole the show but he was really talented.  also the girl from american idol season one Tamayra Gray was really really good.  Otherwise the rest of them were whatever.  i didnt really want to spend the money on the show so i could be a little bias.  overal great trip.  I realized that i wont be able to study when i get back.  I barly touched any books this semester.  kind of worried about getting back to school.
