New Blurb

I'm really sorry about my last post. I realized how negative the post really was and I'm really thinking of just taking the post down all together. I wrote a new one and I'm really hoping that I tried to make it sound more positive. Many apologies.

The second trip to the city! I'm so glad I got to go. There were so many things that happened in this trip that I know wouldn't have happened if I was unable to go. From being able to navigate the city, the Jewish Museum and Fela!, I'm really happy.
I was a bit worried at first on the train to the city. My group last time took a while to decide on a place to eat, so I was worried that we would end up being late to the theater. I'm so glad we weren't.
The Jewsih Museum was amazing. Well... Not the museum itself, but the art was beautiful. Man Ray is now officially one of my favorite artists. His art amazed me in some ways that I didn't understand. It was great! When we left the museum, we were headed down fifth avenue. I felt really good about myself because I realized that if I have a map and know where I am, i can navigate the city without a problem.
But it didn't really matter anyway. My group decided to take the subways down to where we were headed, but we had some trouble. After a bunch of train hopping, we finally made our way down to Macy's, where Mairead bought her Shostegigi present. By then my feet were killing me, but it was worth it.
For dinner we went to Applebee's in Time Square. We took our time eating, which was a mistake. by the time we finished the meal and paid for the food, we only had around twenty minutes to make it to the theater. We literally ran nine blocks to the theater. We were almost seperated into to groups on the way, but we somehow managed to stay together. When we got to the theater, we realized that we were actually early.
Then Fela! The dancing and music made it feel as if you were actually at The Shrine. I loved almost all of it, although at times I was a bit confused.
I'm really lucky to have gone on this trip. I learned a lot from it and I know that these memories will stay with me forever.

  1. THis is better - mainly it is a lot more fun to read and it gives me a feeling of what it was like on the trip. Add something about why you like Man Ray so much. And what was confusing about Fela?
