Noche de Cultura
Today started off less than well. My computer wouldn't work properly this morning. Plus I hadn't done any of my reading. Missed all my lunch appointments because I couldn't access my outlook calendar. Also because I was having a friend try to fix my computer. Finally reinstalled windows and it fixed the problem. Everything isn't 100% yet though. More fixing tomorrow. Met with the senate treasurer for a while to discuss some insider politics and went to a panel on clerking. Not very useful. I got a phone call in the middle and walked out. LALSA put on a "Noche de Cultura" at 7. Basically an excuse for free mexican food, sangria and salsa dancing. Fun times. I was supposd to go to a hillel grad student bar night at the west end afterwards, but since the last one sucked I accepted an offer from some friends to go scotch tasting in midtown (one of my friends had an unused guest pass to the event for me). We took the subway down to 59th but walked in the wrong direction from there. Saw Trump Tower as a cosequence. By the time we got to the right place the event was started, the doors were closed, and people weren't allowed in. I got on the VIP list for the next event though. We took a cab back up to harlem and went to a bar there where SIPA and the Urban Planning school were having an event. I impressed my southern friends apparently with my ability to speak with members of the opposite sex but I didn't have much fun (I was with 2 guys from SC and a girl from Kansas). They left for bar review on the upper west side and I walked home. I've had enough partying for today. Watched the Daily Show and Colin Quin with the guys across the hall. So tired. Gonna crash soon.
