1:54 a.m. It's too late for my own good, especially since we are leaving for Vermont tomorrow, and we'll be staying up late to ring in 2009 (weird to think, considering every other time I write the date, I write everything but 2008 -- 2006, 2007, and even recently 2003... How is my mind that far behind?).
After spending my day taking care of all (well, almost all) the things I've put off for a week, I headed to the city to visit Stephanie, who finally made it back from Florida just in time for me to be heading to Vermont! Tonight, we decided to check out her neighborhood. I'd been over to her place once before, and the walk between the subway stop and her apartment kind of scared me. (Every new place does though...) It was a bit shady, so I couldn't quite imagine what we'd find around... She lives on the Lower East Side. It's NYC... Of course, we'd find something cool to do.
That, we did. A few bars, $3 Blue Moons, a basket of peanuts (right after I mentioned needing a bar that had peanuts!), a wonderful cake shop, with a mug of hot tea to wrap up our evening. We also met some nice people - at the bar and sweet stop. I can't wait until I can go back! The feel of the neighborhood was chill, young, fun.
In an attempt to keep our sanity, about a month ago, Stephanie and I vowed to meet at least once a week after work. I think I might push to meet in her neighborhood more often! :)

Have a wonderful time skiing/snowboarding, and promise not to think about school until you return to NYC! Concentrate on fun and snow!
I hope you were thinking of me when you were eating that red velvet. ; )
