10 THINGS I LEARNED IN NYC
1.There are black squirrels in New York- We were walking in a park with our whole group. I spotted a black squirrel climbing a tree. I was amused by such a thing so i began to yell "Look everyone,black squirrel"!!!!!

2.Chanel is pronounced (sha-nell).-Mckenzie White,Mrs Farrell, and I were walking down some road in New York. I saw Chanel and told them that there is Chanel, except i pronounced it Channel. It then became a joke to us.

3.Revolving doors don't always go automatically- I went into one of the doors and stood there, but nothing happened. Mckenzie then informed me that I had to push the door. From then on,I was able to go through a door all on my own.

4.Don't be friendly with every person you see-Street vendors are the best example of this. When they came up to me and asked me to buy things,I learned that I could just keep walking.

5.New York is huge-Although this may seem like a dumb thing to learn,It actually became real to me how big it actually was. We were allowed to split up and roam the streets but Farrell thought it'd be a good idea to stay with her and the group.

6.Time Square has a Kmart-yes,it is true. This amazed us all.

7.Honking is illegal in some places in NYC-There were signs on some roads that read "Honking is $350 ticket."

8.People in NYC are crazy drivers-This is very true. There are so many buses,taxis,and people and drivers think they can drive like idiots.

9.People in New York have accents-I did not realize this before I went.

10.Flying isn't scary-I thought it was going to be much worse than it actually was.

I had a lot of fun in New York and realized it was much cooler than I expected.

prom prom prom

Prom is coming soon. Im sure all of you have heard about prom just about every day. Something about it,whos going with who, where there eating,everything. Its quite annoying when people plan out every little detail and freak out when prom is over a month away. And its sad that its the onlyyy thing people talk about.

I understand that some people are quite excited because it is a big event. And it does make sense to start looking for a dress early on because you dont want to have the last pick. It also does make sense to maybe find a date early so your not left alone.

But when people already are complaining about how there group isnt desciding on the exact time to eat, that is when I get annoyed. People sitting there arguing on wether to go t 5 or 5:15. That draws the line.

Im actually one of the people that does everything last minute. And it is quite a bad habbit. I thought I was going to be left with a couple hundred dollar dress and no date.

Turns out, I got a dress and a prom date this weekend. All in the same day. A whole month early. Which is quite good for me.
