nyc, center of the universe

this is my native american friend melissa. i had never had a native american friend before this particular trip. i did have a friend named melissa, but she was just a regular old italian girl with nice olive skin. im so glad to make some new multicultural friends...

anyhow, nyc was lovely. i met up with mel the first day, and we caught a chorus line from the lotto seats. besides her being sick all night, we had a lovely time.

day two i dropped off mel, and met sarah at the hotel. we met up with kevin, and ate at john's in the village. per sarah's request, we saw legally blonde which fulfilled her dreams of becoming a blonde lawyer. two hours of constant 'OMG' and super short costumes was enough for me, but i did really enjoy it. i needed to make a quick trip to ann taylor due to the fact that my mom packed her suit pants rather than mine, and we bid sarah adieu after visiting the deliciouso buttercup cafe. kev and i caught spamalot (first time for both, gasp!) and we were both incredibly exhausted and went to bed at 11. sad sad sad.

on the third day, kev left incredibly early, and i was left to freak out about my interview. it was POURING, so i left an hour early because i knew the taxi line would be ridiculous and the roads a mess. i got to my interview about 45 mins early, so i stopped at a cosi across the street and read harry potter until it was time to go. the rest of the interview was kinda a blur. i went in for this interview as kinda an informal information session, and later found out that i was actually interviewing for a position that recently opened. i had three interviews and was there from 1:45- 5:30. and in the middle of my second interview, there was a fire drill. hahahaha. there i am in the pouring rain with my suit, but it was all fine. i think i did really well. i hope i did really well. time will tell.

so due to the fact that my flight was like triple delayed and i had nothing better to do (i have a paper to write, whoops), i finished harry potter. i am so incredibly sad it is over. i have been reading these books since 2001, and i feel like a large part of my adolescence is over. i wont go into too much detail as a courtesy to those who have not finished, but while it wasn't my favourite book of the series, i think she did it justice enough that she doesn't have to continue with the series. i give this woman credit for keeping this final book inside of her for so long. what a genius. she is someone i would love to have tea with someday.

ok, off to bed, and in the morrow to write my paper. agh.
