Best day ever!
So today I had a totally awesome day.
It started at 6am when I got up to be sure I'd make it to the 8am bus to Penn Station, to be sure that I'd definately make it to meet the director of the Center for Summer Learning at their office on North Charles Street. I made the bus, and the trip to Penn Station only took 45 minutes, which left me enough time to walk the 12 blocks up North Charles Street, in fact it only took me about 30 minutes, a little longer cause I stopped in safeway to get a snack. It was a really nice walk and I'm glad I didn't have to take the second bus, cause the weather was sooooo beautiful and it was great to have time to enjoy it. I did take the 11 back to the 31 since I wanted to get back to school and my feet hurt a bit from my dress shoes. While I was waiting for the 31 I noticed a mechanic with some used cars for sale accross the street so I went over and asked about them. I found a really cool Altima that might turn out to be a really great deal. But even better, he lives in my neighborhood and likes to help out college students so he's going to keep me updated on the kinds of cars I'm looking for when he comes accross something good.
So I totally have the internship, which is awesome. I'm getting a $2500 stipend and they're going to buy me a bus pass for the two months that I'll be going between sites. So yeah, I can go anywhere in the city on them. Awesome awesome awesome!!!! Today was so great, the weather was beautiful, the city was beautiful (at least the section where I was at is), and I was beautiful :-P. At least that's what the locals I came accross on my 12 block walk seemed to think. It was so great outside and I was so happy I just smiled and said thanks to all the guys who were trying to give me their phone numbers from car windows and street corners. I couldn't bring myself to give them the finger.
Wow... there was just a car accident outside... one guy actually ran away and they found his car but not him. Crazy shit.
good day anyway.
