And with The Great Snowpocalyse that hit on Wednesday, this has been such a low-key couple of days. Imagine, NYU cancelling classes! I had no classes Wednesday, just work on Thursday, and work on Friday. Awesome.
After getting snowed in on Wednesday, I decided to make a nice big dinner. I hadn't made a chicken in a while, so I did that. Roast chicken, stuffing, biscuits, sauteed carrots, and gravy...there's something about snow that just makes me want to cook huge meals. Richie came over, and Jayson and Aaron stopped by to eat before going to a show. Then Richie and I watched Transformers and he stayed over. All in all, it was a nice way to spend a very snowy evening.
Thursday night, we went to see the Tisch production of Tommy. I had never seen the musical before, but I had heard most of the music. This production was amazing. Maybe I'm a little biased because I knew some of the people in the show, but honestly, I think it was the best student production I've ever seen. Everyone was so talented, and they seemed to really love what they were doing. It was just incredible.
I gave blood on Friday afternoon (hooray! My iron was high enough!) and that actually really wiped me out...I really need to start eating better and drinking more water, because when climbing three flights of stairs makes me light-headed, there's a problem.
Friday night, we were supposed to go to a fundraiser party for another show, All That He Was. But getting everyone together and ready to go was such a time-consuming experience! We didn't even leave until almost midnight, and then we ended up not going (apparently the party got busted). So we all came back to my place, hung out, played Apples to Apples, etc.
It's times like those that really catch me off guard sometimes. I think about the people that I know from high school and what they're doing with their lives, and then I think about the fact that it's 3:30 in the morning, and there are seven people in my room discussing Academy Award nominees and politics. I really enjoy going to a school where everyone is smart and well-informed and excited about sharing their opinions.
Saturday was a pretty low-key day for me, I watched a lot of TV and then went over to Richie's. His mom was here on Thursday and she brought an entire sheet pan of baked ziti, so a whole bunch of us pigged out on that. Then we decided to try out this ChatRoulette thing that everyone's been talking about.
I don't know how I feel about it, honestly. We talked to some people in England, which was really cool, but then there were the creepy people masturbating and the guys who just wanted us to take our tops off, which is so not okay. I think it's a cool concept (and I'm actually now Facebook friends with one of the girls from England that we talked to) but I got bored with it pretty quickly, and I probably wouldn't use it again. It's just not something that I'm really interested in.
Today I had my final RALI session. Now I just need to write my final reflection paper and I'll be done with the whole process! I won't find out if I've made it until the middle of March, though...it's so long to wait! I really just hope that I came across well. I think I'll make a good RA, honestly, and I'm really excited about having the opportunity to do so.
Tonight will probably be pretty laid back as well...Richie is coming over and we're going to make dinner...None of us really have anyone special to spend Valentine's day with, so we're all just going to do our own things I think.
But Happy Valentine's Day to everyone else!
I didn't know you had a blog, too! I promise I won't tell your mom anything I read on here! ;-)
