Cliff Notes

Seeing as how I've been particularly lacking in the blogging department (what else is new: I'll post every day for a week and then I'll go on a week or two "fast" from blogging...) I figured I'd give you the "Cliff Notes" of what's gone down since last I blogged. (hopefully I won't forget anything, but if I do...please feel free to leave a comment regarding anything I missed that might be blog-worthy.

OK, here goes:

4th of July Weekend:
Went to Boston with Jared. It was awesome! Read about it here, here, and here.

• Left Sunday morning on a bus from China Town.
• Slept most of the way.
  
• Went to Church with my bags and in shorts and a t-shirt (I'm such a sinner. Jared had his pillow with him. haha.)
• Walked around Harvard
• Bought a Harvard t-shirt.
• Stayed at a house of girls I've never met (they were out of town for the weekend and told my friend Scott who's staying in Boston that we could stay there.)
• Took care of said girl's dog Cleo.
• Walked the Freedom Trail
• Checked out the Berkley College of Music
• Ate Pizza at Supreme's

(best part of this trip by far was hanging out with Jared and the "COOLEST PEOPLE EVER" mentioned above)

4th of July
Read about it here.

• Arrived back in New York
• Rode back to the apt and crashed for a little bit
• Met up with friend Seth in Battery Park for a "Belle and Sebastian" concert (ah...free music, I love New York.)
• Met MORE COOL PEOPLE (and got to realize how cool some people that I had already met are.)
• I'll post a video of said "MORE COOL PEOPLE" in a later post.
  
• Walked around, hung around, ate food...
• Watched fireworks
  

5th of July
Jared and I ate some good eats at this little German biergarten in the village called Lederhosen Muchen. Here's a pic of Jared's plate (we bot basically the same thing). My pic didn't turn out.
6th of July

• Had a going away of sorts pizza party at my internship during lunch.
  
• Saw "Mates of State" in Battery Park. (I've said it before and I'll say it again...ah...free music, I love New York.)
• Participated in a photo shoot-frenzy of sorts
  
• Played in a fountain (yes, we got soaked)
  
• Ate chinese food.
• Watch an indie film that hasn't been picked up
  

7th of July

• Last day at my internship
• Saw yet another free concert. This time at Pier 17...but i can't remember the ladies name. She was good though. Just her, a guitar, and a loop machine thing (I'm sure Jared can help me out with the technical crap.)
• Ate at a place that I think was called "Around the Clock." (they had the best hummus ever!)
  
• Checked out New York at night from the roof of a friend's apt building.
• Rode in a subway car with some friends late at night. (Let's just say that things get a little crazy when you have a subway car all to yourselves.)
  

8th of July

• Packed up all my crap
• Returned a CD I had borrowed from someone I met once quite randomly (that's another story entirely.) I really should have returned the CD a long time ago.
  
• Carried luggage through the subway to Madison Square Park
• Ate a burger and shake from the Shake Shack (it was good Becca...hecka good.)
• Carried luggage through the subway to JFK.
• Missed my flight.
• Made a lot of phone calls.
  
• Carried luggage through the subway back to my apt (this is getting old.)
  
• Went to a birthday party at the apt of person I borrowed the CD from for someone I had never met (Happy Birthday Appolonia! This is an addition to the earlier story mentioned. Perhaps I'll post about it sometime later.)
• Hung out with Seth at said Birthday party full of theater performance people. It was an amazing experience to say the least.
