A Day on 2nd & 9th

*A shout-out to all my pledge sisters who will reunite this weekend.  Enjoy Bclub-BOILER UP*

Whenever I get into public places such as Starbucks.  I often think about things the way my mother always did.  She would always point out to us that everyone around us has a story.  Each person in this corner cafe has a home, a family, a place their going, and a reason as to why they are sitting with their Macintosh Computers (because let's face it...who has a pc these days? ha) at Starbucks.  As I look around I see a blonde girl, who resembles one of my friends quite well, sitting and talking to her screen as if she were Skyping or iChatting with someone.  Hmm...the guy next to me, with his hood up, watched the latest episode of Jersey Shore, which I was also going to watch while here.  And the man on the other side of me sat on Gmail the entire time and gchatted with 4 or 5 different people.  

The other thing I would like to point out is, and this is not me being naive, is how nice people are.  Genuine hospitality and manners are NOT gone.  The other day I left my cell phone in a cab and after texting it to contact my roommate's # if perhaps found, someone took it and contacted me to return it.  What? If I were at Purdue and that were to have happened it would have been sold in a matter of minutes.  I mean, also...let's not forget that the phone I own is a crappy regular phone that only gets text messaging and had a broken screen. NO ONE would want this phone. But to me...it was soo important and I was sooo thankful that someone found it...also-please note the man who found it turned out to be VERY cute! Tall, Dark, and Handsome! Perfect. 

So I guess as random as this post is, more or less it's just me rambling, I would like to note that I am giving the people of New York City my gratitude and appreciation for your kindness during my first couple of weeks here.  When people say that "New Yorkers are some of the meanest people" they are lying.  OR are perhaps too concerned with their own little bubble that they don't want to take the time to get to know us! That's right...I'm now associating myself FULLY with this city! 

for now...
