srah blah blah

So nice they named it twice! The other name is Manhattan.

At the end of April, I will spend a weekend visiting one of our study abroad providers in Stamford, Connecticut. Yes, that Stamford, would-be home of Dunder-Mifflin Northeast and the next major town to Stoneybrook.

Wow. I am so awesome. Why don't I have any friends around here, again?

In addition to visiting super-dibble Stamford, there will also be a "social outing" to New York City. It will be so special I might even call it... Super Special! Then I will glue glitter and feathers on my Kid-Kit and-- wait, what was I talking about?

New York intimidates me more than any other city I can think of. I always feel like I am going to be picked out as some sort of Midwestern rube and everyone in the city is going to laugh at me for being rural and backwards and not sophisticated enough. Not sophisticated enough? Just look at the glitter on this pony sweatshirt! And this perm I have at the age of thirteen! And this totally funky pair of sneakers that I glued random funky crap onto to demonstrate how funky and artistic I am!

(Jesus, I need to stop channeling the Baby-sitters' Club. For the record, I haven't read any of those books in at least two years.)

Anyway, I have no information yet about what our "social outing" in New York will be, but I hope it involves going to a real New York pizza joint for a real New York slice.
