SNL this weekend!

I can't believe it's the weekend again! This week went by so quickly, which I suppose is a good thing. Plus, this weekend should be an exciting one.

The weirdest thing happened to me today. It was another gorgeous day, so after my Writing class, I decided to walk through Washington Square Park on my way back to my dorm. When I got to the center where the fountain is, everything was blocked off by police tape, and there were police cars everywhere. As I got closer, I realized there were men in FBI uniforms with guns. My immediate reaction was, "oh crap...terrorists...great." I approached a guard and asked him what was going on. They were....filming a TV show. Haha. Everything was fake. I felt stupid. But I think what I thought was justified...it looked really scary!

My birthday is just over a week away! I'm so excited! The big one eight! Alex and Colette are coming down from Boston, and I know it will feel really good to see them again. I don't realize how much I miss people until I think about it. Next weekend will be so fun. I'm trying to find a fun place to eat dinner at for my birthday. I've pretty much stuck to my dining plan because food is such a costly (and unneccessary) expense. Today, though, I did go to Chiptole...first time in a long time...yum. It was $1.50 more than in Minneapolis!

My article was finally published in the Washington Square News. It just kind of went in, with no edits. I guess it's exciting to have my name in a college paper, but I'm still deciding if I want to be a staff writer...

I'm so tired...and it's going to be a crazy weekend. HOPEFULLY I'll get into SNL! Wish me luck!
