I PASSED MY ROAD TEST!!!!!!!!! I am finally a member of the licensed driving community. Big thanks to Sarah Melrose, who told us to go up north to take it - I had to park behind an imaginary car up in Fishkill! After all the parking practice I'd been doing with my mom, it was pretty ridiculous. Hopefully, they'll just send me my senior license b/c ( Read more... )

Responding to much prodding from Maggie, I am once again an active updater (I am such a total dork - can't believe I said that ( Read more... )

I saw The Pillowman on Broadway last night and it was absolutely incredible. Billy Crudup was wonderful - he can play just about anything...such a chameleon. Jeff Goldblum was also amazing, with perfect comic timing and delivery. Zeljko Ivanek, who was in 24 and a ton of other things, was also perfect, as was the guy who played Billy Crudup's ( Read more... )

Okay, so the first highlight of Friday was that our Shakespeare class went to the Met and Shayne told us his life story. He grew up in NH and dropped out of school at 15 or 16 without his parents knowing by signing the forms in their names. During his time, he went to McDonald's and read a lot. When his parents and the school found out, the ( Read more... )

Nothing of note has really occurred. Had dinner with Melly tonight, belly-dancing last night. I'm signed up to go to the Harry Potter release party at Scholastic on Friday night, and my Shakespeare class is going to As You Like It in the park on Saturday. Today we visited NOW NYC (National Organization for Women) which was cool and inspiring. I ( Read more... )

'Twas fun, but extremely hot, so now I'm dripping with sweat. The day was pretty much uneventful. This bitch in my Shakespeare class has an awful dye job, so it's really fun to be a catty girland laugh at it behind her back...so shallow...o well. We watched The Naked City in my film class, which is a fun noir from 1948. I really enjoyed it, like ( Read more... )

I've been introduced to this amazing frozen yogurt place called Tasti D Lite. Now you'll all say you've been there before and I'll feel really ignorant, but it's a new obsession of mine. I think I've gone there for the past three nights, which is pretty sad. Avenue Q is tonight and I'm super psyched! It keeps raining here, which is really annoying ( Read more... )

I'm just about to go to breakfast, but I wanted to do a little post. I had a belly-dancing class last night! It was really fun, although I don't think I have the hips or boobs for it, but it was cool anyway and I'm going back next week. Today we have our Life After College thing, so I'm going to the NYS Supreme Court, which should be interesting. ( Read more... )

I couldn't get my laptop to work in the dorm room, so I'm at the computer lab right now. My roommate is from Germany, but she's American. She curses a lot and is very friendly and outspoken, which is very good for someone as shy as I am. I had my first class this morning - NYC in Film - we watched Swing Time with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire ( Read more... )

After some serious lightning yesterday, our cable is out. For TV this doesn't really matter, because we're trying to finish 24 anyway, but not being able to go online sucks. Therefore, I am at the library right now. Mom and I mapped the train route to and from Barnard yesterday, and got caught in the rain just as we got off the train at home. We ( Read more... )
