New York and Easter

the best pic of NYC that I got
The last I left you, I was preparing to leave for NY.  Well, NY turned out to be a ton of fun!  Thiel took two charter buses (both were nearly full of students) to NYC.  I spent the day with two other people, Molly and a girl in my Calc II class who's named Katelyn.  We spent the entire day shopping, and I spent about $275, but I bought a lot, too.  I got shoes, a dress, a swimsuit, a bra, a bag of blue M&Ms for my mum, a bag of green M&Ms for me, a Build-a-Bear bunny, and a bunch of other things. :-)  I do wish that I could have gone to see a Broadway play (or even an Off-Broadway one), but mum and I might be going back to NYC after school lets out, so if we do that, I'll get to see one, then.  I also wish I could have taken more pics, but for one, the people I was with wouldn't have really liked that, and, two, the sky was really white, and not blue, so it wasn't good for pics, anyway.

This past school week was a short week, too.  My last day of classes was Wednesday, but Monday and Tuesday were really busy because I had a presentation for OWE II (Oral and Written Expression) on Wednesday and a test in Western Humanities II also on Wednesday.  I think that both went well. I also won a picture contest where you had to take a picture of your dorm room for the school website (I won a $15 gift card for Sheetz and my picture is on the Thiel page for housing (http://www.thiel.edu/reslife/default.htm).  My Aunt Connie also ordered me an awesome bathing suit! :-)  And I did a fair amount of picture taking during this week and the one before it

Right now, I'm sitting in my bed at home because it's currently still Easter Break.  Tomorrow I go back to school, and classes start on Tuesday.  Over Easter, I didn't do too much.  I got back LATE Wednesday night, and most of Thursday was spent in Altoona at the library and then in Bedford at karate.  After karate, I went to my cousin MJ (Mackenzie)'s house to help her build a mousetrap car for school.  On Friday, I went to Altoona to hang out with Coleman, and I did some more shopping.  Saturday was reserved for Easter dinner with the Lehmans (my mum's side of the family), and I spent most of today (Sunday) watching Lost.

Well, school starts in two days and I have a Physics test on Friday.  Wish me luck!!
