My Hofstra University trip wasn’t all that interesting. It was a nice break from being in the house all day. I put the pictures at the end.
It was a three hour drive. We took the ferry to long island. I love ferries, especially when it’s sunset (was cloudy, grey, and depressing this time though). It makes me feel like I’m Jason Bourne when he was on his way to Naples or w/e.
Slept most of the drive. We stayed at some hotel like 15 minutes from campus. I love hotel desks. I could do anything at/bent over a hotel desk >.>. Seriously, the desks are so clean/spacious/easy to organize stuff on. I’m so getting one in my apartment when I’m older. I remember some writer wrote all his books at hotels because that’s where he could think clearly. Totally can see that.
I wrote in my china journal on the ferry (going and coming back). My goal is to fill up the entire notebook by the end of the trip. It’s an ambitious goal, but I know I can do it.
Before the dinner, we walked along the shore. Twas fucking cold and there was a monstrous wind. I should have brought my jacket. There were people putting up these stakes and attaching red tape…the stakes went into the distance at least a mile. They said they had been doing it for a few hours. Dayum.
My feet were killing me by the time we headed back to the car. Going, everyone seemed miserable we passed. Now I saw why.
Umm… we got to the dinner on time (Hofstra honors college dinner). There were a bunch of people there. I didn’t feel like being sociable, so I just kinda sat at a table and talked with my dad. Then we were ushered into the main room. Twas fucking elegant… they really planned everything out… I was impressed.
Awesome meal, courses spaced apart perfectly, very very professional. I was at a table with three other girls. They weren’t that… exciting… or talkative. The one admissions counselor was awesome though! She was black and really down to earth. Me and her teased each other, like the friendly teasing, you know? lol she was pretty damn funny too. her boyfriend/husband’s lucky.
Good food, good woman, what more can you ask for right? The speeches were pretty good. They gave us a flash drive as a present.
After dinner, we went back to the hotel and just watched tv. I was amazed how outgoing I was at the table. I seem to be myself when I’m far away from my home town :-P.
That admissions lady was so down to earth and easy to talk to. That’s the type of woman I wanna marry/date.
Anyway,
Slept, had a big breakfast, went on a tour of hofstra, saw a video, got more speeches, saw a dorm. Overall, I was surprised how welcoming the people were there. Many of the students were low-energy, but the faculty/people participating in setting up the event were sooo easy to talk to. donno why.
I felt really fat by the end of the trip, and less muscular. To top that, I had a cold. Ugh. But, it was worth it. If it weren’t for the location and the low-energyness, I would go there because the people are so damn easy to get along with.
That’s it. Long drive home. Sasha and me are going to prom. Here’s the pics from the trip.
