Hellooooo Weekend.

Yesterday I had my Sex and Gender class from 11-12:15. Like always, we spent the class discussing our TUESDAY quiz, trying to figure out what were the right answers and why. We have an older man in his late 40s who is also a student at NYU in our class. Our professor has not liked him every since the first day of class. His answer to our professors, "What is the difference between men and women?" question was, "The plumbing." This man continued to use that phrase when discussing what he thought was different. Most of our class is women, so of course all of the girls try to sit far away from him because he makes everyone feel very uncomfortable. Anyway, the point of this story is that yesterday our professor finally lost it. In the middle of one of the man's answers he started to interrupt him and tell him his idea was wrong. Well, the man started yelling at our professor telling him not to talk over him and it started a huge argument. (It was quite entertaining.) Soon after that happened, class ended and I headed back to my apartment.

Last night we went to a performance on E. 4th Street called Days & Nights: Two Chekhovian Interludes. The play was only two acts long, 60 minutes with no intermission. It was a musical! I was so happy to finally see a musical. Even though it wasn't a normal broadway musical, the actors were wonderful. The first act is called "The Doctor, A Chamber Opera" and the second is "A Joke, A Musical." After the performance, I walked back to my apartment (only four blocks north of the theater" and was greeted by our friend Pete and my two roommates. He brought over little gifts for us to say thank you for coming to his show on Tuesday night. (I uploaded the video of their performance on YouTube...CLICK HERE.)

I took the rest of the night off and relaxed after another stressful week (but I've realized every week is going to be like this with work, so I have to learn ways to de-stress during the week). This morning, I slept in a little, made myself breakfast, and headed to my 12:30 architecture class. We spent the day walking around City Hall, staying around the same area we've been studying since the first week of class. (Next week will be a little better because we're touring around SOHO.) I am now back at my apartment about to go pick up my laundry that I dropped off yesterday, pick up a package at FedEx, stop at Walgreens, and then I am hanging out with my friend Jasmin tonight. I would tell you what we're doing, but it is TOP SECRET. haha. I am really not allowed to tell anyone what we are doing, but hopefully in the future I can tell you all. (Let's just say, we're hanging out in Tisch tonight.)

Tomorrow I will be going to Uncle Walter's birthday, so I'll fill you in on that soon. I can't wait to see some family and friends in New York. I've missed all of you back home so much!

Love and miss you.

Love Always,
