I'm back from New York, unfortunately. Los Angeles in comparison is boring. I miss Manhattan...I miss subways and walking for hours. I walk here as well, but everything is spaced apart......you kind of need a car.
I stayed with my cousin in the city because that's where he lives and works. I would go to his work place with him and then I would wander the streets alone. I walked A LOT. My legs were falling apart and I ruined my pink flats, but it was worth it~ I walked everywhere....down Broadway..all the way down to Chinatown and then up again to past Union Square.....I got lost in Central Park and hung out there for hours~ So many many different things~ But, unfortunately, all alone since my cousin was working during the day. Around 6 pm, I would meet with him and then we would do things together. We saw Harry Potter <3 and went to a great Chinese restaurant....ate at Shake Shack, which was awesome~ We got caught in a rain shower....we were both drenched and my cousin's work phone wouldn't turn on, so we put it in a bowl of rice and the next morning it worked~
The last day I went back to Long Island, where my cousin's family lives. I played with Tuba and packed all my things and then went to bed early. Security at JFK airport was ridiculous! I got the airport at 6: 30 am (my flight was at 8: 25 am). By the time I was done with checking in and getting through security, it was 8: 05 and boarding had already begun! MEMEMEMEME.
I could go on and on. Here are some mixed photos of my trip~
Walking alone in the city.
Messing around with magnets in my cousin's office.

Met my hero.
My family and I drove to Connecticut cause they wanted to go gambling. This is my aunt and I trying to figure out how this slot machine works.
Playing with Le Tuba <3
My cousin.
My cousin.
Since I would wake up early with my cousin...I am used to going to bed early. And since New York is 3 hours ahead of California, I end up sleeping at around 9 pm and waking up at 5 am. I don't mind though.
Yesterday I was looking at schools in New York. I wasn't sure if I was going to go for my masters right after graduating, but now I'm considering. I would love to live in NYC for a few years....I think that if I get the chance to go there, I won't come back here. Besides the great weather, Los Angeles is just.....I dunno. I don't know if it's because I'm missing my family or stuff that's keeping me from being happy here that's making me feel this way..probably a mix of both...but if I could hop back in a plane right now and go back there I would.
I'm super sleepy~ I hope you guys are doing well and that you are having a good week. Take care <3
