Happy Things

Since 18 hours of class, 20 hours of work, scholar responsibilities, and homework have been occupying my time, my systematic pacing of the city has taken the back burner. Adventures, however, have not. With a nod to Kendra's happy things, here's a bulleted list of a few of the New York highlights of my life in the last few weeks.

-Eating bul-go-ki in Koreatown with dear friends
-Five hours of eating cheese and talking about God and the good life with the Middelmanns in the Upper East Side last Friday night
-Having a drunk guy yell, "What do you do, read all night or something?" as a friend and I walked from the Middelmanns' to the train at 1 am. The answer? "Well, yes."
-Reading E.B.White's "Here is New York" in Riverside Park
-Eating baklava and drinking cafe au lait in the Hungarian Pastry Shop by St. John the Divine
-Walking from 110th and Amsterdam to 34th and Sixth
