I knew today's going to be hot but not like this. When I got to the Columbia campus there were people in all kinds of clothing--T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatshirt AND T-shirt (=_=Edwin), but after the SHP test was done, as I walked through the main campus, there was like a feast. There are people barbecueing...splashing water everywhere, and people in bikinis lying on the grass--chilling. Nobody was wearing sweatshirts or sweatshirt plus T-shirt. And there are tourists taking pictures with the "alma mater" and just lots and lots of random ppl walking in and out of the campus through the entrance where there are lines of cherry trees.
Rewind. Jaims, Edwin, and I crossed the bridge by carpooling with some random women for free. I used the $1.25 that I saved by carpooling with these random women on a musician who was playing guitar and harmonica in the subway. It wasn't particularly good but the way he sings was delightful. And the way he puts the harmonica on a thing that stabilizes around his neck reminds me of....was it Bob Dylan? Yeah. Anyways it was a nice 20 sec solo (before I got off the train) for one buck.
The test was...ugh. I don't wanna talk about it. So, on our way back, Edwin said we're going to McDonald because he and this other person were going to be picked up there. And so we walked into the subway station and got on the downtown #1 train--which was odd. I didn't understand why we're going downtown just for McDonald until Edwin and Jaims started saying--
Jaims: "Where are we going?"
Edwin: "I don't know. Do you know where are we going?"
Jaims: (shrugs)
Edwin: "hmm...OH do you remember that question?....."
5 minutes later.
Edwin: "Where are we going?"
Xinyi: "I thought we're going to McDonald."
Edwin: "then why are we going downtown?"
Xinyi: "WTF? You meant the McDonald in Fort Lee?!"........
One thing that's sort of sad was I did a lot of research last night on good restaurants around Columbia but we ended up in Fort Lee McDonald. :(
