This is me writing more :)

Hi wow this is me writing two days in a row something that hasnt happened in a long while :) well last night we actually went to seans Dads apartment in SoHo it was beautiful!! soo big and nice. mike piazza and John Stewart live in the same building (sean has seen both of them many times) so i was on the lookout for them but i didnt see them :( oh well next time. but we got takeout and ate pie for seans birthday (which is tommorow... shes turning 20!! its intense!) but the food was good and seans sister who is davids age was there and we had fun and sang sean happy birthday! after we went back to the room and watched movies... it was a fun night. this morning i had to wake up a little earlier than usual and i met up with my group for a group project we are doing in my Lab Class. it is really fun. the group is me my friend Shawn from Chicago who is in all of my classes, Courteny from Colorado and Miles from Boston. Miles didn't come but me shawn and courteny walked around the Lower East Side and took Pictures for our project. i love it down there. we went and had tea at the singer Moby's tea place called teany (soo good i had coconut tea it was really good and i tried shawns vanilla chai too which was awesome) and we talked about our project. What we have to do is well we read PlaNYC (or plan 2030) which is the plan made by the NYC goverment to improve the city and make it more enviormentaly friendly. it is a really big plan and talks about all the boroughs and neighborhoods in the city. and they are basically making the public transportation better and faster and cleaner so there will be less street traffic and it will be better for the enviorment and they are improving the roads and making sure that for every so and so miles there is a park. and they expect all these improvments to be in affect by 2030. for our project we have to relate the plan to a certan neighborhood or area in the city (we picked the lower east side) and some how artisticaly in our groups show how the plan will affect the area. we decided to focus on the negitive aspect of the plan and how the area is going to be made nicer but the people who live there now are going to have to move out of the area they have always lived in because they aren't going to be able to afford the new trendy area and the housing as the rent goes up. we went and explored the Lower East Side and took lots of pictures. we took pictures of what we called old style and new style. Old Style is the beautiful old buildings, the grafiti murals, the cobble stone streets, the mom and pop deli's and the working people of the area, all of the culture and different nationalitys and languages in the area. New Style is the trendy cafes and starbucks, the hipster kids, the boutiques, the newly paved roads, the modern buildings, the up scale hair salons. what we want to do is print our pictures out (possibly in black and white) on vellum and punch holes in the corners and hang from fishing wire right in front of eachother the pictures going from old style to new style. we want you to be able to look at the pictures individual but also see through them and see what they look like as a whole. im actually really excited about the project and the class! its really fun and intresting. but we had soo much fun wandering around and taking pictures. i really love that area of ny. we also saw that they are filming our new favorite show Gossip Girl down there this wed. so me and sean might go down there after class and try to get on the show haha. but i walked about 8 miles around the Lower East Side and then Shawn and Courteney introduced me to one of my new favorite foods the Fallafel! it is so good and there is this place on St MArks right near me that got a bunch of awards and is like only 2.50 for one! its awesome. i am being so good lately and i have been trying alot of new foods. hummus, key lime pie, cold seseme noodles, falaffel and i think i might brave sushi again!! but i will go slow haha. it was just an awesome day one of those days where you are just like i cant believe i am in NYC i love New York!! its great. and the day is still young. i have class at 3 but i have to rush and get my laundry (which was way over due... it was pilling up under my bed!) from the drier and get to 2D class. then me and sean might test out the printer and get paper for tonight! and seans birthdays is tommorow so that will be lots of fun! i will post some of the LES pictures i took later for you to enjoy :) wow look how much i wrote!!
