My first weekend living in the city

Friday night:
After Sarah got home from her screening day at a local restaurant, we headed downtown to do some shopping/ looking around. Of course it had to be raining. It's been raining so much here :( The Sarah's and I went to Borders, Old Navy, K-mart (kind of weird to have one in NY), and Macy's. Just a mini shopping day. At Macy's they were holding the finals to a singing competition to win tickets to the Tony Awards. The people judging the awards were from In the Heights, a show one of the Sarah's and I are going to go see soon. That Macy's was a shit show. It was the one on 34th st. aww, how cute? hehe. I will not be going to that Macy's ever again, it was just too crowded with people. We ate at this amazing burger joint for dinner. It was so good and actually priced well. We headed home and I guess decided to have a party at our place.
Two people we've met this past week, Matt, who went to DMB with us, and Kate, who works with one of the Sarah's at NY1. A decent amount of roomies hung out too, so it was a great time. Thanks to Tracy, one of my roomies, we played a million drinking games. Needless to say, Saturday started off horribly. I woke up wasted. oops. So we didn't go running and we didn't have our wing eating contest either :(

Saturday!!:
I was a tad under the weather for most of the day. All my roommates, Tracy, Sarah, Sarah, and Juliana --with the exception of Becca, she was missing that day, all went to Century 21 down by the WTC. OMG! talk about designer overload! I may or may not have bought something fabulous made by Betsey. hehe. I'll be going back there again. After spending the better part of the day in that store, we headed home. Then it was time to watch the game! I was pretty sure Sarah was going to claw me every time the wings scored. silly, penguins fans. We also made new friends with Kevin, who was sitting in the courtyard. He came up to the lounge to watch the game with us, as did two other guys, Rob and Stefan. I think Kevin was impressed that 3 chicks asked him to watch sports and offered him beer :) Tracy had a bunch of pals come over, as did the Sarah's, so we were on our way to another crazy get together at our place, but thankfully we went to a pub. It was a great time :) Everyday out here has been really fun. I'm so glad I have really awesome/cool roommates.. even if a few of them are penguins fans.

Sunday:
I kind of chilled out for a few until Sarah came back from church. We then headed downtown to meet up with her pal, Kady, from college. After we found her and did a random trip to Old Navy, we headed to Queens, where Kady lives. She was going to the Tony Awards to be a seat filler. kind of sweet, right? So Sarah and I were lucky enough to help her get ready :) After that, we headed back home to have a group work outt session at the mini gym :)

I'll write about Monday later. It's time for sleep.
