Mets and Walks

Wednesday I went with a group of friends to the Mets game. We had free tickets because NYU was being honored as one of the top organizations in blood donations. It was some collaboration between the Mets and the New York Blood Association, and they were presenting us (along with other organizations) before the game. We only lasted about four innings because we were so cold!! We underestimated what we'd need to bring and I only had a sweatshirt and my Northface, which I almost didn't bring. It would've been smart to bring hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets at the very least. It was a fun experience though, I've never been to a baseball game before. I got a hot dog because I'm told that's what you do at baseball games. And it was fun hanging out with friends--I got to hang out some more with some of Elle's friend from IRHC which was really cool. Some of them are living in Carlyle with us next year so we're going to have "family dinners" once a week or something like that.

This weekend Caroline and I went on walks around the city which was really nice! Saturday we walked up to Central Park and walked around the Central Park reservoir, around the area, and we walked through Columbia a bit. It was fun to see a part of the city we don't normally visit, and it was good to be in the fresh air. We walked for two and a half hours, and then it took us an hour and four different trains to get back to NYU because the 1 train wasn't running unless you had an unlimited access card, so we had to take a variety of different lines to get uptown to a station where they had downtown trains running, and then to Times Square, and from there to 8th St. Insanity, to say the least. But I definitely got my money's worth from that subway swipe!
