I want to say I hated the trip or I loved it but... really... it was pretty 'meh'
I guess that's what trips are like with tourist companies...you don't get to do enough of what you want to do and you do too much of what you don't want to do...

it seems like you had fun in new york! :) the books you picked up look really interesting (i keep meaning to read more stuff about king arthur), though i'm sorry to hear your trip was pretty mediocre. hopefully the next time you go, you can explore the city on your own? nyc's so much fun, but yeah - probably not as enjoyable when you're travelling with a tourist company group or w/e D:

I should go explore downtown some more
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck is pretty interesting... it's basically a translation of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Morte_d'Arthur
which is from centuries ago
it's incomplete though... just to warn you if you plan on reading it...
I didn't know it was incomplete until I finished the book and was kind of disappointed 8D;
and yeah... the next time I go to New York I plan on doing a lot more exploring...
I also plan on getting enough sleep...they made us wake up at 6am every day orz

thanks for the link! i'll definitely keep an eye open for it, incomplete or not :) i also really want to read 'the once and future king' by t.h. white, since i hear it reinteprets the old legends in quite a new and fresh way.
you go to uoft, right? are you at the st. george campus, or...? if you are, exploring around the area is super easy and a great way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon :)

8D that sounds really interesting... I think I'll look that up
yeah I'm at the st.george campus... but I'm living with my parents now... up in North York... feels like it's in the middle of no where to me... I lived in Innis during the year and it made me realize how much I hated living with people who weren't my best friends orz... thinking of finding a place with this friend next year... or I'm commuting... I hope my parents move closer to downtown
