Thursday Thirteen #6

Thirteen Things I did over break...a few hours early


Pictures included because I don't like to read posts without pictures to look at.

1. Visited floormate at her home in NYC and got really excited over the fact that she has a doorman and all those fancy New York amenities.

2. Rode the subway ALL BY MYSELF to get there and was completely horrified by the uncleanliness factor. I think I've become a public transportation snob.

3. Saw a show on Broadway (The Drowsy Chaperone) and waited outside the stage door for autographs.
(Bob Saget)
4. Did the obligatory holiday tour of the city

5. Got mad at BadBank once again (see post below) because using that card with a certain sports team glorified all over it really pissed off one cashier. It's just a game people!

6. Did not, unfortunately, overhear anything worthy of being sent to overheardinnewyork.com

7. Had a big family shindig (not in the city). It was nice because this may be the last one certain grandparents will be attending.

8. Visited various relatives and friends with incurable illnesses and/or cancer. It seems like there are so many people with cancer this year. This was definitely the "sick holiday." We've done a lot of reflecting and spending time together.

9. Went to New Hampshire to intern for a political campaign and held signs outside in below zero weather. Hey, we're freezing for our future. I also got yelled at A LOT on the phone by pissed off voters who just want the primary to be OVER AND WE KNOW WHO WE'RE VOTING FOR SO STOP BOTHERING US, OKAY?!?!.

10. Met the Candidate several times and Candidate's spouse once and was in a photo for a CNN article. (Although it wasn't a favorable article for the Candidate).

11. Met some really friendly volunteers working on different campaigns (as well as some totally crazy ones).

12. Came home briefly and in time for my mom to host a dinner party where the guests hadn't seen me since i was "just this tiny little girl hanging on to your mom and now you're all grown up and working in politics" etc. etc.

13. Made a donation to Locks of Love.

Happy 2008, everyone!
