Jessica's Year Away From Smith: On the sixth night of Hannukah

...my true love gave to me: 6 pickled herrings (umm...okay?), 5 bowls of chicken soup, 4 potato latkes, 3 pounds of corned beef, 2 kosher pickles, and lox, bagels, and some cream cheese!

Last night was the BEST last dinner I could have had with everyone here in NY. We all went to curry row, to a restaurant covered in christmas lights. The restaurant was awesome, we ended up having around 14 people, and they told them it was my birthday. After the restaurant, we all left and played with a parachute on the streets of New York. Liz, my roommate, had done an art project for one of her classes where she painted a quote on a white parachute and filmed people playing with it in NY. So, she brought the parachute to dinner and we all sat inside the parachute in the middle of the sidewalk. It was hilarious because people were walking by and had no idea what was going on. (Two random people came into the parachute as well to see what it was like inside.) We ran down the street with the parachute and went to our friend Pete's apartment. We had a great time just hanging out at Pete's and, at the end of the night, I said my goodbyes to everyone. So sad!
