School/Cupcakes/Good Friends/Amazing Boyfriend

School starts today. Woo.... hooo!
I know, my enthusiasm is overwhelming.
So, last night, my friend Sarah and I took a little journey to Soho...well...yes I think it was some part of Soho. We popped up on Prince Street and then went down Spring in search of yummy food for a post audition celebration. The plan was to eat a quick bite and do a little shopping. Ummm. We definitely went down the wrong way on Spring. Wow those neighborhoods change fast. We searched and searched for food and there was hardly anything. We couldn't believe it. We finally found a bar and thought, yummers Nachos! However, when we walked in the bar we were the only women in there. EWWW! The men were nasty. I mean gross. We hightailed it out of there and popped down some other streets.
Sarah is wonderful. She is one of those great people who you can enjoy being around all the time. If you want to be quiet, she's fun, if you want to be cranky, she's fun, and if you want to be crazy, she's fun too! I am so glad we're here together and that I have a like-minded friend. We were both about to have blood sugar crashes, or maybe we already crashed and we were about 6-10 blocks from our subway, when I remembered there's a Dean and Deluca right next to the subway. We voted and unanimously decided to scrap the food and shopping and just get treats from D and D.
So, two haggard students ordered pastries and split a mocha. No joke. Within 2 bites, we were different people. Yum!
Our reward this next week for finishing the first week of school is a trip to the Village for Magnolia Cupcakes.
Kevin is coming for Thanksgiving. I keep looking and exploring things for us to do here in the city that will be fun. He's the best really. I'm thinking we'll spend hours looking at books and cd's. I think he might just freak out when he sees the Barnes and Noble on 66th at Lincoln Center. There are 4 or 5 stories and the basement is all cd's and DVDs. The kid's gonna flip.
Then, my goal is to become more familiar with the cool parts of town so we can hang out there. I mean, we'll do the normal stuff too, but I want it to be really special for him. He needs and deserves the best vacation ever.
