Alright so an update about the last couple of days. Hah.

So Laura and I got to NYC. But there were some problems along the way. :/ Before we ever got into NYC, more so right before we went through the lincon tunnel, my car started to overheat. So, I pulled over at a gas station and let it cool down and put some more antifreeze in it. We started it back up and started moving again. To which, it then started to over heat, again. But at this time, we were already on our way to the lincon tunnel…more so we were through the toll and there was absolutely no where to put my car on the side of the road. So we get through the tunnel and pull up on this mini shoulder thing. (I don’t know what to really call it because it really wasnt a shoulder..) So we pull up..and once again let it cool down…and put more anit freeze in it. Start it back up and start driving (we were like a mile away from the parking garage.) get less than two blocks away and it starts to over heat again.. so I’m coasting down 10th Ave, with my car off…just trying to make it to this parking garage. Finally get to the parking garage get all our stuff that we want to take and start heading towards times square.

Stopped by the Gershwin (where Wicked plays) and stood in line for the raffle. We didn’t win, but oh well it was a fun experience. Continued to walk around NYC and have fun. At about 11 after getting out of the Apple store on 5th Ave. we got back to the car. Got in the car, started heading back home. About two blocks down the road my car was getting really really really hot again, really fast. So it starts yelling at me again…So i try to find a place and pull over. Found a place (West and Clarkson if you’re from NYC.) and just sat there trying to figure out whats wrong with my car.

Laura called the people that she knew, I called Richard, my mom and my step father. Everyone was trying to figure out what was wrong with my car…but we couldn’t figure it out.. so I called AAA had them tow me to a garage. While in transit the guy asked if we were dropping the car off, I told him no we’re staying with the car and sleeping in the car. Mostly because you have to have a credit card to get a hotel room…and the one that I had was my mothers and they wouldn’t take it without her present. So he was like “well I know a place that can fix this sooner and probably for cheeper.” so he took us there and they looked at it and said that I either needed a new thermostat or water pump. But that both of those required getting parts and there were no parts stores open.. So we had to sleep in the car. Oddly enough every time I have to sleep in my car I’m prepared for it. I had my comforter for Laura and a blanket for me, and two pillows.. one for each of us. So we slept for like 4 hours.. really not that much, but eh, it was sleep. Woke up they looked at my car and confirmed that it was indeed a new water pump that I needed.. oh joy.. I asked them how much it was going to cost me… they made me wait. After about an hour and a half they told me that it would be 1000$ to fix my car..

Well Laura’s parents offered to rent a trailer and hook it to their truck, drive to NYC pick up laura, my car and myself. So I called my mom, she didn’t answer, so I told laura to go ahead and tell her parents that we would do that. About 8:30 (20:30) Laura’s parents got to NYC. By that time, the battery in my car was dead since laura and I kept listening to music. So I couldn’t even start it to get it up on the trailer.. they had to push it. We even tried to roll start it since I drive a manual, and that didn’t even work.

But! We got it on the trailer. And headed home.

However in the mean time, between finding out the price and such, laura and I had our own problems. Laura was getting something on her foot. Neither of us knew what it was. It wasn’t a blister or a wart.. or anything that we could notice.. however it was really really hurting her. She couldn’t really walk that much, which is the biggest reason that we stayed in the car. I also started my period. Since I’m no longer on BC that keeps me from getting my period I get the really bad cramps that I’ve always gotten. Usually its day two of my period when they come in full swing, however they decided to be a bitch that day as well. I was in a shitton of pain on the way home, not to mention what I ate that day did not agree with me and I was so ill that I thought I had food poisoning.

All in all that was my trip to NYC. It was.. interesting haha. Even though we had such a bad experience this trip I know that we’re going to go back up sometime in the fall.. maybe October that way we can see the things we still haven’t seen. I find when we go up there we don’t really act like tourists, we just kinda.. mosey around the city and if we see something that we like we’ll stop. Which I like doing, I like seeing a place for how it really is, like every day and experience what it would be like to live there, and not just visit.

But alas, thats everything. I don’t really have much to say right now though. I will have a good blog for tomorrow as well though, just need to find time to post it.

sadly i wish that i was kidding. so remember how yesterday i said that i would update you all on the events that happened, because i would be home and would have time? haha yeahhh that didn’t happen. we got in my car around 11 to head back home. we didnt even get a mile and my car started to overheat. we had had this problem on the way, but we let it rest for eight hours so the fact that it was doing this, confused both of us. so i called richard and my mom..laura called her friends..we’re trying to figure out what is wrong with my car. well we couldnt. so i called AAA and had them tow me to an auto shop. pretty much laura and i are stuck in NYC right now. my water pump needs replaced in my car and they want 1000 to fix my car…which is way way way too much money. so laura’s parents offered to get a trailer, hook it to their truck and drive up and get her, my car and myslef and drive back to VA. so yeah..that is my life for today. oh and to top off still being in nyc at 6:00pm i started my period today and am getting cramps like a bitch…

Right now I am in NYC therefore I am making is post on either my phone or I’m uber awesome and am using an iPad in NYC….you take a guess at which.

However Laura and I are having a lot of fun. We actually haven’t taken the subway yet today…we’ve pert much walked everywhere. Which is pretty damn awesome since it means were burning off all the yummy food we ate for lunch. But yeah sadly I don’t have a lot of time, really just enough to make this post and then go to our next stop! But I swear tomorrow I will update you all with pictures and the uber fun that I had. If i have enou time between work.

Congrats to everyone that participated in project blog though! It’s finally over :p

Love you all and miss you! Promise to update tomorrow!!!

Also if ere are tops, sorry. I’m on an Ipad….whoops just gave it away..oh well :p
