Today started out pretty lazy... I was super tired when I woke up this morning, so I decided that instead of venturing into the city right away, I would catch up on some tv that I missed. haha. After that though I called the place that's doing my school uniform which then told me to call back later to see if it was ready. So, I decided to venture into the city and kill some time before picking up my pastry supplies. I got off the subway at the Rockefeller Center stop and just kind of walk around. So, in that area is Rockefeller plaza, a bunch of news channels, the theater where they film "Late Night with David Letterman," and Radio City Music Hall (see above photo). I then walked around and saw Times Square, which even at 1pm on a Wednesday was filled with people. After that I found a Chipotle and decided to stop for lunch. It was kind of a weird feeling sitting in a restaurant and eating by myself, but it was not as bad as I expected. After Chipotle was when the adventure started. I haven't been carrying around a map of the subway at all; instead I've been relying on the Google Maps app on my phone. Well, it got me lost... So I ended up getting on the wrong train and had to get off at a stop that was around 10 blocks or more away from my destination. Oh well, it wasn't so bad I got to walk around a part of the city that I hadn't seen yet. Then I got to go pick up my pastry supplies from a culinary supply shop. I was in heaven... The whole shop was just all sorts of cooking tools and it was awesome. Here is my haul:
The only bad part about this was that I then had to lug all that stuff around for the next 1.5 hours until I got home. All of it came in the bag that is in the background in the picture. After I got all of that stuff I called and found out I can pick my uniform up tomorrow! I ended up getting on the wrong train on my way home to Queens and had to do some maneuvering in order to get back. I ended up transferring onto another train that was not the right one. Long story short, I had to get off at a stop that was about 10 blocks from where I'm staying. It was a really long day. Well, I think that's all for now. Hope everyone is well!
