Heading Back

Hey all! I wrote this from the bus home from Philly that...made it's way pretty quickly to New York City. So...Ahem...Here it goes...

"Why Philly?" you might ask. Because I had the Greatest Weekend Ever! Well, except for the last couple of hours, but we'll get to that later. Moving on...

I visited my friends Cebul and Elizabeth this weekend at a magical place called Haverford. No. I didn't mean to write Harvard. Harverford is like a movie set that got forgotten about so it was turned into a school. Or a ski lodge...only they never got the memo that there are no mountains around. In other words. It's gorgeous. And seriously, imagine a ski lodge on none mountainous ground and you will have pictured Haverford.

Once I got past the beauty I then moved on to rating the food in my mind. To put this is perspective. I've been eating Easy Mac, chocolate candy, and granola bars for what has felt like forever. Partly due to Sandy messing with my grocery store and partly due to the fact that I have a chocolate addiction.

Now. With that said. The food at Haverford was great. I got all my food groups. And a couple of donuts (the greatest food group of all in my opinion). But I now feel very full. I think I managed to eat two full meals with each meal that I ate. I had forgotten what it was like to have a buffet at your disposal all of the time. But boy did I sure take advantage of it this weekend.

And of course we went to a part on Saturday Night. Luckily it was literally 20 feet down the hall. So we didn't have to walk into the not-so-cold night. But once I got there I realized that I need to get out more often. I forgot what college parties were like. And while I had a great time, I felt incredibly overwhelmed. So many noises and smells and visuals assault you when you first walk in. And it doesn't let up til you leave.

And don't forget the dancing. Now...no offense, Haverford, but you are a giant group of nerds. And it shows in your dancing. And it was awesome and I felt right at home. People just went for it. It was hilariously entertaining and made me feel perfectly uninhibited. Enough to rap Nicki Minaj Songs. Word for word and feel totally okay about it.

All in all. Haverford was a great time and a great break from busy NYC. And I actually saw grass. Lots of it. And trees.

But sadly. Something had to go wrong. It was only fitting for a Kim outing into the world.

I missed my buss back to NYC.

Dun dun dun.

But "how" you must be thinking, am I writing this on a bus. Well. You see. After feeling like a complete idiot for waiting in the wrong bus line long enough to miss my original bus (because it was in the wrong color, people) (who makes a black and white Bolt Bus anyway) I managed to get myself together and get in a standby line. Now, my original bus was for 7:30. I got in the standby line at 8:30 for the 9 bus.

As my luck would have it. Nobody in the standby line got on that bus. Since the next bus was at 10 though, a bunch of people got out of the line. Wusses. So I ended up 5th in line.

The 10 bus got to the pick up early. Which was exciting, but nerve wracking as people trickled one by one onto the bus. All of us standby people were practically holding hands with our fingers crossed hoping that we could get on that bus. Finally it was 5 til and they asked if any of us had missed an earlier bus. Finally, luck was on my side. Cause two people in front of me didn't. And they only let five people on. So I barely got on the bus. But I made it! Woo! I made up for being an idiot! And I got to finish my book and wander around a train station.

So the Greatest Weekend Ever ended up with a happy ending after all. Well...if you call sitting next to puffy vest guy and getting back to NYC at midnight happy.

Til next time.

Doviđenja.

Kim.
