Sandy

Well I'm back in NYC after a NINE day stint at my parent's house. I left for the weekend and then couldn't get back because Sandy had blown a BOAT on the train tracks. Yup, that happened. School was cancelled all week which was pretty ridiculous. My mom and brother both had school off, as well so it was pretty much flashback to summer vacation. I woke up late, cooked and baked (okay, I guess I still do that) and went to the gym. Can anyone say Bodypump???? Bodypump is probably the thing I miss the most about summer vacation. Towards the end of the week my summer waitressing job even called my as a fluke, seeing if I was home because they had power but so few restaurants did so they needed extra help to cover all the customers they were getting.
Luckily, neither my school nor home lost power. Some trees fell but no one I no was harmed or had their homes harmed. I haven't done much exploring as I live in midtown so there wasn't much damage. By the time I got back, only a few things in my area were closed and all my trains I usually take were up and running. Losing a week of school, however, was pretty nuts. I did work at home but in such a project driven major, a week without critiques and class meeting time is really hard. A lot of my projects had to be simplified by professors to make time. It's going to be crush time until the end of the semester. 0_0 I'll keep thinking about Bodypump...
Back at the ranch...cough, cough, my dorm room, it's getting colder and messier! Uggh why do things get dirty and make me clean them? I'm disgusted how messy 4 20-somethings can be. So I avoided my homework, cleaned, and made some tortellini with olive oil and parmesan cheese. I have so many snacks but so few real food. I need to make a Trader Joe's run, asap. I'm running out of salad mix, frozen veggies, pasta sauce, and yogurt. Also eggs. And milk. I'm trying to hold out until Sunday. I have a meet upstate this weekend so I don't want to buy groceries until I'm here to actually eat them.
No that things are settled, I'll try to blog more, starting with a race recap of Saturday's race :)
