Back in the Big Apple! I flew in on Sunday the 18th with fellow Mixtape Jerry. The next day about ten of the Mixtapes (those who were in the area/could make it) sang with and hosted a Scottish a capella group called The Alleycats from St. Andrew's University. They're a group of incredibly nice and talented people. We met in Central Park and sang around the park in various spots. We even sang in front of the Bethesda Fountain which is one of my favorite spots in the park. Then we went out to dinner at a barbecue restaurant and went back to one of the Tapes' apartments to hang out. At the end of the evening I hosted three of the Scots at my dorm and made sure they got to their meeting place on time the next day. Those two days were lots of fun and I made really cool international friends. If we ever find ourselves in Scotland, or if they ever come back to tour New York again, we're definitely going to give them a call.
Other than that, my week has been very relaxed. I've hung out with Mixtape friends quite a lot, and my suitemate Lexi came back yesterday which was really exciting. Classes start up tomorrow which is not as exciting. PLUS there's supposed to be an epic storm coming in tomorrow morning which should be interesting. As of now NYU is staying open through Monday morning but they may close for the afternoon or Tuesday. I wouldn't mind if we closed on Tuesday because that's my birthday, so it could be nice not to have class!
