good weekend and bad exam
On Friday morning, I decided to take a bus to Hartford for the weekend. It's only $30/roundtrip by famous Chinatown bus, and I need to take some break from NYC. I packed up my bag and went to school to do some work. I love my laptop but not when I have to carry it to school/coffee shop/etc because it's sooooo heavy. Anyway, got a good amount of work done during the day, and had lunch with Chiung-Yi and Chloe. We went to this salad place called, "chop't" They make your own salad for you, just like at Cosi. Very fresh and tasty...but kinda expensive.
Got on to a Chinatown bus at 34th street on Friday evening. The bus went through Manhattan to Bronx--it was kinda nice to have a quick tour of the city. The scenery changed drastically from the Upper East to Bronx, though. The bus ride was about 2.5 hour because of the commuting/weekend traffic, but it wasn't too bad over all. Once we got out of the city, the traffic was pretty smooth.
Hartford is a mid-sized city (i think) but I felt like I came all the way to some country side and it made me realize how busy and crazy it is in NYC. Needless to say, I had a very relaxing weekend. Here's a quick overview of the weekend.
Friday night: got to Hartford and checked out Dave's apartment--nice sized apartment, and actually it seemed more cozy and comfy than his old apt.
Saturday: woke up early out of my anxiety over History & Systems exam on Monday. studied from 7am to about noon. went to some organic/vegetarian cafe for lunch. had very healthy lunch but killed the purpose by eating ice cream afterwards. studied bit more in the afternoon/evening. had dinner at some Irish bar. very nice weather!
Sunday: slept in and felt good. nice weather once again. studied in the morning while cable guys came to the apt (btw, they were hilarious). had lunch at a Japanese restaurant (chicken teriyaki and tempra) and studied at Starbucks. came back to NYC by Chinatown bus. the driver was a crazy maniac and drove 80 mpr on speed limit 55. i thought i was gonna die. but i got back to nyc in one piece and got back more than 30 minutes earlier, so it's all good.
woke up at 5am on Monday to study for H&S exam. I did really, really bad on the exam, and it almost made me cry. I still feel crappy about it. But since there's nothing I can do about it, I decided to start studuying for the H&S final, so I can bring up my grade a bit. so much anxiety.
Overall, I'm glad that I went to Hartford for the weekend. I felt so refreshed! :)
