Further Weekend Happenings
Yesterday afternoon I sat through a meeting on getting funding for whatever exciting work I decide to do this summer. The meeting was far less than exciting however. I have a bajillion applications and papers to fill out. *sigh* Such is life. Beaurocracy at its best. I meant to go to Hillel for services but I went to the gym and got back to late. The gym did me good though and God will get over it. I did a lot of crunches on a workout ball to remind myself I still have abs. It was refreshing. I made it to Hillel as the service let out and I stuck around for kiddush. Then I waited around in the sukkah for some friends who were 20 minutes late. When they finally showed up we had some dinner (very tasty) and chilled a bit. I had to leave at 9 to get to a grad mier on the lower east side at a club called BLVD on Spring St. and Bowery. It was open bar there from 9-10 but it took me over an hour on 3 subways to get there so I missed that. The event was supposed to be a party for students at NYU and Columbia med, Albert Einstein med, NYU and Columbia law, and assorted other prestigious grad programs. It ended up sucking royally. A bottle of beer was 6 bucks so I stuck to tap water. The cover was already $10 just to get into the stupid place. The people there all seemed to be older and ranged from being lame to complete jerks. Lots of pushing and shoving and no saying excuse me. None of my friends ended up going because it was so far from Columbia so I didn't really know anyone there. Totally crappy event. Stayed an hour to justify my cover charge and then left. Two hours on the subway for one hour of "fun". Hardly worthwhile. I did a ton of text messaging on the subway and went to hang out with a friend in Lenfest on my way home. Returned to my apt at 2AM and IMed and made phone calls until 4. Today I went to a dairy lunch in the sukkah with a few friends and played taboo afterwards with undergrads. Very nerdy but what the hell. Then I went to Butler library to pick up the last book I needed for my cite checking. Did some studying in the law library, made pasta for dinner and studied some more. Go me.
