Stupid Internet
I completely meant to update this weekend and put some pictures up, but the internet died at my apartment. Well actually it's a longer story than that, but it's not interesting at all. Anyway, I have internet access now and there is no reason it shouldn't stay that way.
I did have an adventure this weekend. On Friday I went to a Staten Island Yankees v the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball game with two other interns, my boss, his family, and two family friends. It was a double header and we were going to the second game that was supposed to start at 7:10. Well, the first game started late so the second game didn't start until 9:00pm. Kane, Kat, and I hurried out to catch the 11:30 ferry back to Manhattan. That's when the real fun started.
We were planning on taking the 1 train which was right at the ferry station. Nope, can't do that. It's closed from South Ferry to 14th St. (By the way, South Ferry is at the southern tip of Manhattan and I live up in midtown around 50th St.) So we walked two blocks to the 4 and 5 trains. Nope, can't do that either. We waited 15 minutes to hear an announcement that the 4/5 trains would not be running any more that night due to construction. Great, we are very far from where we need to be and we don't know the area at all.
So we followed another man who had to leave the 4/5 station and started walking up Broadway. We past two other 4/5 stations until we finally found a station with a couple of different lines that could get us Uptown. We got on the A line....the wrong way. We went to Brooklyn. Woops. We got out and finally got on the A heading in the correct direction. Then I got to walk back by myself at 1:30am to get to my apartment. By the way, there were still quite a few people out, this city really doesn't sleep.
So that's my adventure. I got back about 1:45 and went right to bed. Then I got up and went to Central Park and got sunburned. I didn't bring any sunscreen with me to New York and I dozed off out in the sun. Not smart. Oh well.
This is really long so I'll end it and post some pictures. Bye!
