This story is from a week ago, but I just haven't had time to write. And really, I don't have time right now, but since procrastinating is my number one hobby...here we go.
So, last week, Annie, my mom and really good friend from home, Kaitlin, came to visit. Kaitlin stayed in my dorm, on the floor, and it was really fun. Except for this situation.
Last Saturday, I had to go pick Mom and Annie up from the subway. I put on my shoe, and there is this OBJECT squished under my laces and on top of the tongue of my shoe. Naturally, I poke it, thinking it's...a leaf? I don't know. AND IT MOVES. Naturally, I scream, and throw my shoe off. It runs across the floor. IT IS A COCKROACH. And it's a big'un. My wonderfully aggressive (this trait came in handy this time) roommate Mallory hit it about 20 times with an umbrella, which I believe snapped it's ridiculously strong neck. We then scooped it into a ziploc and stuck it in the freezer. Because we don't know what else to do with it, and housing won't take a notice seriously unless we have more than one incident. So we're waiting.
It was incredibly disgusting. YAY FOR NEW YORK!
On a lighter note...I hope everyone had a nice Easter. My morning was spent in a Lutheran church on Central Park West (SOMEONE felt out of place!) and my evening was spent at ASSSSCAT. Appropriate.

What a year to remember in NYC. Sleeping in the streets, rodents in your pathway, mysterious characters on the subway, need for a pail in SNL line, ridiculous prices and now Terminix is necessary! (Of course,there were lots of great things about NYC too!)
I have to say, that I LOL when I read this blog about cockroaches. . .so much for sympathy. You know that I absolutely hate bugs and would be so creeped out to have cockroaches.
Thankfully, the big one presented himself nicely. Had you been leaving tidbits in your shoe for him? Prob, there are not too many friends with him or you would have seen them before now.
Way to go Em! You've done more & experienced more in this year than most people have in a lifetime!
