Last year

It was this time last year that I was in New York City for the very first time in my life. The whole week there was so much fun. Even sharing one toilet/shower with four of my fellow AmeriCorps members, our host and her seven loftmates in Brooklyn.

I think my favorite night was when I got completely hammered and was just laughing and hanging out with my friends.

Funny how that always seems to happen.

I also went and visited a special friend in New Jersey while I was up there. It's kind of a long story, so I won't get too detaily, so I'll just say the visit was long overdue.

I rode the subway ALONE at like 1:00 am!

I learned how to install wood flooring (remember, I worked for Habicrap at the time).

I made new friends.

I whistled the Harlem Globetrotters song IN Harlem.

I saw Ground Zero.

I was right outside the New York Stock Exchange.

And I rode the Staten Island Ferry and saw her majesty (Statue of Liberty).

All in all it was a trip I will not soon forget.

I am not sure if and when I'll be back, but at least I can say I've been.

New York, New York.
