My day was a see-saw of bad and good things.


First thing. The desk that I was going to buy on line sold out. Next I missed the bus I was going to catch but didn't care and luckily another one came right behind it. I ran and caught it. As I got to the subway my train showed up. I found pearl paint easily, went to the floor where they had their desks and saw the desk that was being sold on line for $80. They had it for a bit more. Granted the one I found on line was on sale, but I wasn't going to pay $174 for just the base of the table.


Since I was there I got three things that I think I will need for this semester drawing class and left to find the bus to the park. It was two buses really. I had to transfer. Well, on my way there, some really pretty head clip spike things caught my eye and I thought of getting one for my friend's mom. I found out that today was her birthday. I looked at them and looked and talked to the girl at the stall, and then I got the price.$10. It doesn't sound that bad. But I'm jobless, and looking at my last $130 that was planning on spending for a table that my mom would give me back the money for since she said that she would get me the table.

 

I went and got the money, then walked around the lady and the store, to try to catch the bus, to save my $10, but I then thought that it wasn't that much. I'll would get it back when I got what was left of my FinAid check in March, and I was going to get the money back from mom for the table and my sister was getting me a metro card for my first month back at school. So I went and get the hair bobble.

I got there, picked the one that I thought would look good on her and paid for it. I was also able to catch the bus that I had been waiting for. Oh, when I was leaving Pearl paint I snagged some bubble wrap that they were throwing away. That comes into play later. I then made my way to the park. It was easy enough to fine. I found out that it was just two blocks over from the place I go to watch movies and three blocks down. It's called "The High Line" here is the link.

Now on my way there, on the second bus, I saw an art supply place that was more or less across the street from the movie place that I never saw. But I stayed on the bus. I got to the park with 10 mins to spear. So I took some night shots. I think 3 came out well, I haven't looked at them yet.


Then I walked back to the store to find out that it closes at 8pm. The same time that the park closed and kicked me out. :) Great. So I walked into traffic. I jaywalked, slowly, across a 4 lane street to a 99cent store. In there I found a little bag to put the gift in and I picked up some Pringles.

 

I then got on the train and wrapped the hair thing in some bubble wrap and placed it in the bag. When I got to Brooklyn I then called my friend to tell him to come and get the gift from me to give his mom since he said that I couldn't come over because it was just family that was going to be there for her birthday, but he said that since I was there I could come in. I came in and I saw the guys from down stairs there. Ok. They then gave me cake. It was chocolate on chocolate. Part of it was so creamy that if it was cold I would have sworn it was ice-cream.

 

Well she liked my gift, and I stayed and chatted for a while before going up to hang out with my friend in his room.

At this point he kisses me. ... he shows me his computer, we play golf on the new WII in his room and then he asks to do something....and his dad catches us.

I am then told that it would be best if I left, he argues that he is old enough to do this and I stayed out of it and a floor away. I kissed him goodbye and went to catch the bus home.

Now I'm home.

How was your day?
