    • Green Tea Chinese may not look like much, but it's delicious

      • Imagine a Wendy's that has been revamped into a Chinese place. Yes... indeed... it's drive-thru Chinese food! There are rumors of rats and roaches, but none I've seen! I adore this place and it has the best food in the area. Plus, you can't beat a lunch special for under $5.

    • New York... New York!

      • I was 13 when I first went to New York. My father presented the idea as a 2 month road trip and that lead me to give many groans. Also, I was in love with a boy from my school... and I had fully intended on spending the summer allowing him to see me for the amazing person I am (notice I didn't use 'was' because I'm still pretty amazing). All of this shattered when dad showed us the four page itinerary.

        I, to put it frankly, was a bitch for a good majority of the trip. We stopped to visit family first in North Carolina and West Virginia. All the while, I contemplated why people thought big buildings were so incredible. I was in my poetic, naturalism state - New York City was the symbol of what I hated in the world. Down with big business!

        As we entered the city, my parents and brother were 'oo'ing and 'aww'ing over every building we passed. I rolled my eyes and kept making comments about how 'stupid' everything was. However, inside, I was admiring the architecture and finding beauty in everything I passed. We took a limo trip and toured the city - even through the Bronx, which scared the limo driver immensely. I felt like I was part of something a lot bigger... that the world wasn't as small as I thought it had been. I hadn't seen everything - I lost a lot of the rebellious egocentric mentality I had developed. Also, I felt I belonged. I like the pace the city took and I liked the fact that things didn't shut down.

        I was disappointed when we left for Cooperstown and Niagara Falls, but was very content about the change in my frame of mind. Needless to say, the boy was still there when I got home and is still one of my best friends. I guess he still gets a chance to witness my awesome daily... and I still live with the memories of the city with all the bright lights and homeless people, asking for a slice of delectable pizza.

    • Woo hoo!

      • You would think that it would be Friday, when I graduated from grad school... but it wasn't.
        You would think that it would be Friday evening, when I turned in my keys to school... but it wasn't.
        You would think that it would be yesterday, when I actually had my first day off in a year... but it wasn't.

        Honestly, this may sound really depressing, but I haven't had a true 'woo hoo!' moment in a long time! Hopefully this summer brings one... but... lemme think...

        The last 'woo hoo!' moment was... when I was last in love. There were quite a bit then.
