Estaba comprando cosas para la escuela

So, what's my next excuse? I spent a day shopping for last minute items. Mainly toiletries. I also bought a few shirts/sweaters/dressy things. We apparently have this Red Carpet Affair event going on during the last day of orientation week. I'm still a bit wary of that event. It's another one of those Lerner Columbia/Barnard parties. I went to the one during the overnight, and it was a little less than fun. Plus, one of the current Barnard girls told me and a group of other girls that the Lerner party is usually lame anyways and that most people just head out into the city where there is a vast array of fun-seeking opportunities. Besides, how are they going to fit everyone in the Lerner basement? Considering the size of the room, I don't find that all too possible.

Over Heard in New York. Oh, that satirical site filled with random, amusing quotes heard throughout the city. Minus all the ones that are a bit racy and filled with sexual innuendos--albeit, still rather funny, the quotes are hilarious and makes the thought of spending my time in New York even more exciting. My dream is to one day be able to post a quote! Because we all know my obsession of jotting down quotes in a notebook! (i.e. "Stretching it like a fat kid wearing spandex." - Courtesy of Amanda)

Taken off the site:

Blond Tourist Bimbo: I've never even heard of the G Train.
Blond Local Bimbo: Yeah, it's a ghetto train.
Blond Tourist Bimbo: Where does it go?
Blond Local Bimbo: Nowhere.
Black eight-year-old boy: Except my home, bitch.

Hobo: Can you spare a quarter?
20-ish guy: I'm broke. I owe the government 70 thousand dollars.
Hobo, after a pause: Would you like a quarter?

Suit to hobo holding sign reading 'End apartheid in South Africa now!': They already ended apartheid in South Africa. They also freed Nelson Mandela.
Hobo: Shit, nigga, I gots to get me some CNN or some shit.

Mother: Don't you ever do that again! [slaps child hard]
Child, calmly: Well, are you happy with yourself?

And last but not least, a quote from my future neighborhood (listed under "Classic Quotes"):

Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.

Oh, god. Once again, the Columbia boys have tarnished their reputation. ---->

Uh, hold on. What reputation?
