NEW YORK CITY

It's official.  I just booked a flight and hotel trip for my best friend and me to NYC.  I have never been to NY.  I have never been more excited.  I am dying.  I can't find the words to express how excited I am.  And to top it all off I found the deal of the century.  $335 a person for 3 nights and flight included.  I feel crazy.  I haven't been this excited about anything I don't think.  Other than that my best friend Maggie is coming with me!




OUR FIRST PICTURE TOGETHER!



This is the true love of my life Maggie.  This is who is going on this amazing trip with me.  I could not be more excited to share my first NYC experience with the person I love most.

I have so much planning to do in 9 DAYS.  Our hotel is close to Times Square, so I hope most things are accessible from where we're staying.

Bloggers: Tell me where to eat!  What to do!  Anything!

9:30am-7:00pm

That was my day. I had non-stop class with one break of me visiting the doctor for 20 minutes.  Why oh why must I take chemistry?!  I had chem discussion, lecture, and lab today along with a zoo lecture.  SO MUCH SCIENCE AHHH.
This is what I think about today


Fitness
Even before this crazy long day started I ran and did some strength training and abs.  I banged out 3 miles in 24:30 woo!  I'm speedy when I need to get to class!

Food
I had my new morning favorite of oat bran and pb for breakfast and ate it as I sped walked to Chem discussion.  I packed a half a potato with black beans, asparagus, and salsa (random, but I just pull out whatever leftovers I can find in the fridge here at the sorority house) and a salad with balsamic for lunch.  I had to eat them in lecture because I was at the doctor.  I also had some cinnamon almonds and pure bar for a snacky before I went into my 3 hour chem lab.  Oh wait no the lab lasted FIVE hours this time.  Unfortunately, my stomach was wacky during lab and still is.  So I came home and had a little potato and chicken and some carrots and hummus.  I know the hunger monster will come soon.

But, for now I'm snacking on some 0% chobani with frozen blueberries and strawberries.
NOMs


In other news
A special someone got into a special top 50 of the US creative writing graduate program as 1 out of 5 people. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU BAY.
This is his 'Rachel get off of my face, face'

So what do I get the special guy!?  A delicious cupcake from the bakery down the street of course!
 The D'oh- Rich chocolate cake stuffed to the brim with cookie dough, hidden beneath swirls of chocolate frosting, and sprinkled with mini morsels
Now I get to bring the cupcake to the special boy and write a paper read my beloved blogs!

Rachel
