Amen for NYC

Today was my last day in New York. I leave for St. Croix tomorrow afternoon. Because it's my last day I spent it leisurely. First we went to Harlem to visit a little bakery called Make My Cake. They make the most delicious cake I've ever tasted. Next we drove around downtown New York and mocked the little dogs prancing around 5th avenue. Driving around I saw the Statue of Liberty from the street. She looked so insignificant through the city haze, but she's probably dazzling up close. We parked (it took forever to find a spot) and walked to the site of the World Trade Centers. It was eerie how quiet it was, like a church. In my last blog I spoke of horrible deaths, dying in the World Trade Centers must have been a horrible death.
I like New York. It's so busy, all of the time, its comforting. I don't want to leave. Some people may think of the urban sprawl as overwhelming but I see it as cozy. On some streets you can barely see the sky, it makes me feel small (but not insignificant). I feel as though I'm an ant working with all of the other ants to try and build something better for themselves. I really don't want to leave. I have to come back sometime soon and do all of the touristy things that I've wanted to do forever and then later maybe I can work with all the other ants.
St. Croix should be fun. I have alot of relatives that I'm supposed to be visiting. Plus I cant wait to go swimming. I don't have anymore interview to do in order to stay on track with my Walkabout Proposal, but I do have to transcribe what I have. I also have to finish my math and my Symposium Presentation. My presentation makes me a little nervous. I've attended the Graham School for four years so by now I know how to effectively bull shit a presentation but I think that it would be better for everyone involved if I don't do that this time around. In order to convince my audience (and myself) that my walkabouts have been worthwhile I have to do some reflecting...I'll save that for another blog (that nobody is going to read).

Until next time...
