I'm walking a dream fourth day straight

So today is short because the internet connection stopped working and I couldn't upload the fabulous half done blog from an hour ago. Plus I'm not about to write a full length deal here on my phone! I will upload tomorrow after wall street and gazing at the statue of liberty. Let me just say NYC is pretty cool.peace.


OKAY HERE IS THE MISSING HALF!


Hello interested family and friend(s?). I'm very tired.  Being tired and having my feet on fire seems to be the common symptoms of late. Anyway.  Today, I graduated. I took the bus and the subway ALL BY MYSELF! Gasp! Busses, and subways and walking myself, oh my! I visited the Natural History Museum today, and got there myself because my hostess of a sister has already gone to the museum countless times and I didn't feel like putting her through the pain of the museum for the bajillionth time. (She actually didn't want to go; I wasn't so gracious when I found out I would have to discover the delights of public transportation myself.)  

The museum was amazing and I saw nearly every single exhibition on all four floors.  That museum is HUMUNGOUS. No joke. From 1:50 to 5:45 I was at the museum taking pics of everything. Night at The Museum anyone? At 5:30 I realized I had not taken a picture of DumDum, and that was not okay.  I had originally just glanced at the exhibition DumDum was located in because I wanted to see the big whale (no dork so it was a female...).  I found DumDum and asked a mother and her daughter if they could take a pic.  It's not so great, but she was in a huge hurry to make it to every single exhibition in 15 minutes that I didn't want to ask her to take a better pic. Here you go: The only proof I have that I went to the museum.



"DumDum (and Lupe) want some Gum Gum."
After the museum, I was going to visit central park but it was raining so I went to Columbus Square instead and ate Wendy's (really New York? I paid 1.69 for 5-piece chicken nuggets. Get money some other way.) Then went to Borders where, despite the fact that I bought Elantris just yesterday, I purchased the book I am currently reading because it was on clearance, Sundays at Tiffany's. It's a quick read, I'm on page 52.  I like the cover. Google it. After that, I went to Time Square!



It was raining but that didn't mean there wasn't a lot of people.  After that, was dinner at an Asian fusion restaurant, and I ate a California Roll (no imitation crab for New Yorkers!) and Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken and a mango saketini. Be jealous. 

Anyway, we ate, walked around a bit, and then I was tired and fell asleep! That is my friends! Peace! OHHH! I hailed my very first cab! :)  It was cool.
