NY was definitely a memorable trip. remember, i didn't necessarily state that it was a good trip. it was a MEMORABLE trip aka a "successful trip."

day 1:

1. lots of stress before getting onto plane. long story short...i got onto the plane.
2. manhattan is dope. skyscrapers, taxis, lots of people. you know the drill.
3. arrived in cornell at 1:30am. slept on a hardwood floor with my sweater as my blanket.

day 2:

1. campus is big. no me gusta.
2. ate my first Po'boy.
3. watched Seabiscuit.
4. NY people speak their mind and have funny accents.

(girlfriend gives him a REALLY REALLY bad stare).
me: ahahahhahahaahah.

1. (drum roll #2). NEW YORK PASTRAMI SANDWICH!!! he bites. he smiles. they cheer!
2. Central Park. two thumbs down.
3. Rockafellar Center and 5th Ave. bujee stores. eh...better than Central Park though.
4. back to Port Authority and take my bus to JFK.
5. 5 hours of tv on the plane. cooking channels are sooo cool. they really gotta start making babyback ribs on the plane.

man, we learned so much about each other on this trip.
and we're back!

i took out my wisdom teeth today. i only took out 3 b/c the 4th bastard decided to grow into the bone and that's definitely a no-go. lots of novacane, "pressure", drilling, hammering, and one last good cuss word. the novacane is wearing off right now and my mouth is hurting more and more. i actually bought my drugs but my mom said not to take any b/c she's going to return it and have her insurance pay for it. F!!! 2 1/2 more hours to go.
