Need to get out of the lab

I realized that it's been three months since I moved to NY but I haven't done that much of fun stuff lately. I've been spending too much time in the lab with no window! I need to get out and do something fun.
Here are some things I want to do...
1. shopping, shopping, shopping
2. check out MOMA (reopens in Manhattan this Saturday)
3. go out and eat good and cheap food
4. meet new people and reconnect with friends I haven't seen for a long timeI also realized that I spend most of the day without talking to people--I really need some human interaction! I will contact some of the people I haven't seen in a while to see if they are interested in meeting up for dinner or drink. I've been a bit desperate in seeking human intereaction lately--is this a holiday-season related symptom?

I think this coming weekend will be great. Yayoi will be in town (from Amsterdam!), and I'm meeting her for lunch on Friday--can't wait! I haven't seen her since last spring, and it will be great to catch up. Then, Dave is coming in town on Saturday. I'm trying to think of some fun stuff to do in the city...maybe we can go to the MET, walk around in East Village, etc. I have to see what he is interested in doing.

Got 2 midterms back last night. I did well on Language and Thought but not so well on Social psych. Well, I did OK on Soc Psy considering the amount of effort I put into preparing for the exam. I basically did not study for the exam--all I did was went to the lectures. I think it's pretty good that I could get B+ on the exam just by sitting in the class. Anyway, I will study very hard for the final to bring my grade up.
