CAU Trip.

Aug 04, 2004 20:59


so, my journey to new york began on:

FRIDAY: friday morning at 6:30 i woke up to my mom getting outta bed, then i took a freezing cold shower.  After i finished packing, mom and i left for the train.  when i finally got on, i was sadly unable to sneak into one of the "nicer" seats because they were all taken, which sucked, but hey, at least i wasnt siutting with anybody.  the 4-hour train ride went by pretty fast, like i only read 2 and a half magazines and i was there.  Once in NYC, My aunt drove me to her work, and hse has like the nicest people working with her.  the office is seriously like one of the most kick ass places to chill in NYC.  My favorite people are Amy, and Daria and Of Course Liz (Who sadly left...).  Amy is jsut really funny and awesome and Daria is funny too, and she gave me some CDs and talked to me about like, everything. There- i counted popcorn in this big ass jug with this intern named Steve, who was pretty nice. (see picture.... with bad red eye..) Later on Daria and I Stole the jug from Steve's cubical and he got like so pissed off, i was laughing sooo hard...  he was like: "FINE! I JUST AM NOT EVEN GONNA CAR! WHO THE FUCK TOOK IT?!".  but yeah, goood timessss...



so that night i went back with my aunt to her apartment... we didnt do much
SATURDAY:  i helped her take her cable connection completely OUT of her ceiling and then put a new line in...  that took like, a really long annoying time, but hey, at least i can say i know how to do that now...After that i went with Liz to go and get a manicure/pedicure so that was pretty spiffy...except that like, the woman that did my nails was all like, mean...  so that night i went out to dinner with my aunt and her friend william after going shopping in Soho...wqhich was fun (I got a shyte load of stuff from H&M). we ate at this cool mexican place and i had ham&cheese quesadias and it was just fun...  
SUNDAY:   we woke up early and caught the 5 1/2 hour bus ride to Cornell, got there at like...  (9:30+5=2:30ish..) so we got there around three, and i felt a little intimidated because we werent in the same building as last year and Ben wasnt there yet...  The only people i recognized were like...  Jen the counseulor from last year, and a few other counsoulers.  blah so yeah, Ben finally showed and at first it felt like a little wierd, as we had only talked and shit online and stuff, but yeah.. then i went to my dorm and met my room mate Natalie, who was 14 years old from Rockchester NY.  She was nice though, and way into sports, which was cool...   MY DORM:


MONDAY: i had my first sailing class, and there was only like 6 of us who could sail, including Kerri, so she and i were in a boat with faggot-charlie's little sister Laura, who would NOT stop BITCHING...  the only thing that sucked majorlym beisdes laura was the fact that there like, was.no.wind.  But Kerri turned out to be from ithaca and i really cool and i liked meeting her and stuff.   and also, it was awesome meeting the souper-cute-ean-dude... 
 thats ean and this other guy, natan.. i bet i spelt it wrong, but its pronounced that way.  they're both 16 and live in Ithaca...  but ANYHEW...  after sailing we watched Zoolander, which was fun cuz liike, that movie is kinda funny (OH snAP).  then we did this scavenger hunt thing with our suits and ours WON! take that bitches!! i now own a Cornell Keychain thing.. my life is so complete...  after "dinner" we took a bus into downtown ithaca at this place called the nines i went to last year, which was fun, we just ate pizza and ben and i caught up on shit and I- VERITY BAKER-SANG KAREOKE...  i sang 3 songs..  im like, a frigging rockstar...yeahhhh ...  it was good times, i wish i had pictures.
TUESDAY: Sailing was okay...  i think that might've been the day i was with erica&jen which sucked, cuz they seemed like, ultra ditzy and a little bit overly-annoying but whatever.  then we went to some like Paleantology museum and i took a shyte load of candid photos:
i suck at re-sizing but that one is of ben.... his head isnt that fucked up looking- i assure you....   i took a ton more and uploaded them onto photo bucket and now they're not there so fuck it, ill link it afterwards...  after the "awesome" time at that shit museum...  we went to dinner and then watdched a debate between Kerry (hot Mike frat kid) and Bush (Ross, dumbass skdf,ljsdoifgjsdfj who i kind of got annoyed with).  then i went on a walk with around 10 people, cuz we didnt wanna watch monty python, including ella, this really great consouler in my suite,  we got along and connected like so great.  im totally glad i met her.  so here are some really fun pictures from that walk:

WEDNESDAY: i went sailing with ella (I think it was wednesday that we did this...) and it was pouring rain outside but there was a lot of awesome wind and yeah, it was kick ass.  i also got to learn a little bit more about ean (maybe its like Ian..fuck my bad spelling to hell).  so when we got back like.. crap, i have no clue what we did....  maybe that was when i did my sculptures or something but yeah, that night was BOWLING NIGHT!!  it was sooo fun... lotsa pictures:
 Cosmic Bowling.

CRAZY BEN.

THURSDAY: I went sailing with SKETCHY timothy  and ella and we capsized like a hundred times...  it was fun...  then later i did this lame asian studies thing, and i talked to this bryan kid and he seemed nice and stuff,  then dinner and then we had swimming, but i didnt wanna go so  a lot of people just stayed behind and i forget what we did.  OH YEAH!  I think that was like, when we went Ice Skating, which was really fun.  then i went with my aunt to the observatory and that sucked cuz it was all cloudy and then i went back and watched the talent show.  everyone i saw did really kick ass, and mike and this kid dylan dressed up as girls:

FRIDAY: I went sailing with Sketchy Tim and Kerri and that was totally awesome, cuz it was absolutely beautiful out and really windy.  i have to admit though i got a lil scared off and on... and yeah.  we ended up capsizing by accident and then like filling our boat completely with water and then we had to capsize again, so yeah, it was actually pretty fun.  then we went to Ithaca Commons and I walked around with ben for a little bit and we went to the dollar store and i was like: "Do you have condums?" And the guy at the counter was like: "Why do you want to buy condums at a dollar store?" It was frigging like so funny.  And then I met up with James and Mike who was looking to buy a pipe in one of the Hemp Shops so i went in with him and talked some guys into buying it for him, and so yeah, it was like this cute little sherlock that changed colors and shit, totally kick ass (good choice mike).  Then we all went back and had dinner and then had trhe Luou.  That was totally awesome..  we all like, were jsut dancing and shit and it was so kick ass, i like, loved it...  Best dance ive ever been to..   so yeah, that was kick ass... 
SATURDAY: i basically just caught the like 9 o'clock bus outta ithaca, and wanted to cry, which like, sucked.  that ngiht my aunts friend Liz had a going away party at this like Cuabn Club, and I got to Drink "Sangria" which is like yummy wine and Brandy with fruit in it.  PIKCHAZ:
