What happened this week?

Some weeks I find it really hard to come up with something worth writing about. Honestly, there wasn't anything super exciting that happened to me this week. Friday night I saw Divergent, finally, which I was really happy about. I saw it for free because the girl I went with had free movie tickets. I honestly loved the movie, there were definitely some things that were changed between the book and the movie but I still liked it. The girl they had playing the main character, Tris, was the perfect choice. Even though I knew what was going to happen the entire movie, I found myself on the edge of my seat with a mixture of anticipation and curiosity to see how they interpreted certain scenes.

Saturday was Elle's birthday, so we grabbed lunch and walked around town. There was a street market on Broadway so we explored that. There were some pretty cool vendors there. Elle commented that there seemed to be a lot of pocket watches for sale, which I found odd. Then we sat in the park for a bit. We really just relaxed in the nice weather until we needed to get ready for dinner at 6:30. We went back to Max Brenner--I think it's become our birthday place. This time we just got an appetizer (the most delicious wings ever) and entrees. We skipped on dessert, although I told the waitress when Elle wasn't at the table that it was her birthday, so they brought out a chocolate treat for her. Then we set up for the party we were throwing in her room. We put up lights that we bought earlier and set up the drinks and snacks. It ended up being a lot of fun! Everyone got dressed up a bit and I met a lot of Elle's friends from IRHC (Inter Residence Hall Council). She says these are some of her closest friends at NYU and they're all living in Carlyle or Gramercy next year so we'll be hanging out with them a lot. We actually ran into some of them today at lunch and they invited me to a birthday party they're having next weekend for this guy named Walker. So I think this was a successful weekend all in all, I met new people and made some pretty cool new friends!
