The City


Last weekend, a few friends and i headed to the city for the weekend. Had a great time in there and spent like no tomorrow. S got a super good deal with a traval agency in chinatown so we payed $140, bus + hotel + tour included. There where two groups for the trip, those who are with the tour and those going on a free tour, meaning the bus would dropped those people off at a place, leaving them doing whatever they wanted around the city and pick them up at the same place in the evening. We, of course, took the free tour. It wasn't as hard as we thought going from a place to another in Manhattan. The first day we walked around Time Square, the second day we shopped around 5th Ave and Broadway, ktown and chinatown. On the third day, it was Woodbury in Jersey with the tour group before heading back home.
It was my first time in the city but it somewhat felt as if i never left home. Seriously, when were were walking around 5th, it felt as if we were walking on Ste-Catherine back in Mtl. The two cities are really similar minus the shish kebab/hotdog stands at every corner of the streets, the yellow taxi and the +8.9 million citizens walking around the city. Nonetheless, NYC charmed me. I enjoyed my time there and would definitely be going again. I'll post some pictures up soon but for now i only have two pics from my phone. You can see something funny here. We witnessed Elmo, Cookie Monster and Bugs Bunny questionned by the NYPDs in Time Square haha. The kids walking by there were shocked. It was as if they've been told Santa do not exist. My face was icky that day. It was really hot and humid.


I received my 3rd and last rejection last week. Not surprised at all. I totally saw it coming after the last one. But anyways, I have another plan for the fall semester. I'll be taking evening classes instead for that quarter and register again during the winter admissions. I'm determined of my goals for now. I'll work my hardest to make it possible. I'm thinking positive :) Happy St-Jean to all of you today!
