daytrippin to nyc

That was an incredible day in the city. Spent way more than I'd planned (let's see - $250 on clothes, $30 rt including taxis and trains, dinner wasn't bad at all only $46). I'm going to owe dad and mom so much after Paris. I've heard stories of how I should expect to spend a minimum of $5000...A SEMESTER. WHERE am I going to get that money?! I wish I'd planned ahead and signed up for a sleep study in June. Ill have maybe 1.000 of my own plus whatever mom and dad give me per month. That has to get me to at least Parma, Germany, and Barcelona in the first semester - London, Cannes, and Morocco in the second. Yikes! 

I honestly couldn't love cities more - the subway is so much easier than I thought...so hopefully the metro in Paris will be just as straightforward...doubt it.

Went to Crispo downtown for dinner and ate outside under this gazebo. Started pouring by the time we drove to Nordstrom rack where I found a hideous dress by a designer named "Divya". Creepy.

Also don't know what I'd do without my GPS and internet on my phone. This year will be very interesting. Perhaps I'll develop a sense of direction.


Sent an email to Isabelle today - tried to look it over for grammar and stuff but I could barely understand what I'd written...hopefully she's good at deciphering idiot American-French.


Went to cancel my Netflix account when I found a new movie with Hrithik Roshan in it. Guess I'm not cancelling Netflix anytime soon. Currently watching: Kites. Currently reading: Water for Elephants, Sara Gruen.


Ended up getting back to South Station at 4a. Hung around with my homeless friends until 5:30, took the T and got back into my room/passed out at 6:30a. Long ass day. Totally worth it.

South Station platform at 4:05 this morning - populated by PSI residents and stranded travelers. 

Also have, more or less, a new wardrobe for Paris. Exactly what I didn't need at all.
Conclusion: Megabus is worth it if you aren't on a schedule, you have a truckload of patience, and you're broke.
