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

Hurray! Glad to hear from you. This post really makes me want to visit you again. I didn't know you had eighteen hours of class, too! Hurray for the Fellowship of the Busy S's. :)
Was the coffee shop BESIDE St. John the Divine, or was it RUN by St. John the Divine? Either way, it sounds intriguing.
Whilst ignoring my ever present homework, I've read most of your posts. Your food eating escapades sounded all too real--I feel overly stuffed from eating dinner and cooking all day. But other than the gastronomic empathy, I've enjoyed your adventures! I hope you keep them up, and keep us "up" on them as well.
You should find a restaurant that is run by folks from where I am living and tell me how you like the food! :-)
