NYC

Just got here 6 hours ago and already at home!!! I missed 4 busses. First i waved at a driver and he drove off. I flipped him off. Then I only had a twenty. then i got my 2 dollars and found out that they only accepted quarters. finally caught the bus. got to my hostel, which is actually really nice. I was careful about my choice. it is a youth hostel intl property, so it is a good'n. I am sharing a room with 12 people, though. bought a pack of spirits for $7.50. then the night really got exciting. I had a slice of pizza for $3 that was the biggest thing I have ever seen in my life. Went directly to an irish pub, and was unpleasantly surprised to find it was a college bar. No one there was over 22. they were from Columbia university, but that didn't make it much better. I talked to the bouncer for an hour (a straight guinea, firefighter to boot). Then I left and went to a much less crowded bar where the nice bartender bought me a shot and took one for herself. Shortly after I arrived some weird dude that tried to talk to me at the other bar sat down and I talked to him for the rest of the night. Relatively speaking he wasn't weird, he was well dressed and worked in finance. He found out i was a mathematician and started grilling me. He tried to test me on the cosine of pi and started yelling at me and then found out he was wrong. I let him walk me home, cause frankly it was a bit sketch. Then he tried to kiss me. NO DICE dude! Now i'm in the hostel on the internet. Tomorrow I'm gonna cram as much as i can into the day, assuming i get up early enough. It's 4 am here. See yall soon!!!
