Last Saturday I took a visit up to Westchester to see Dr. Flower, my high school Chemistry and Physics teacher who moved up here after my junior year. It was such a nice break from the city, which I really needed. First we went to Spooky Hollow Cemetery, the cemetery on which Washington Irving based The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It was HUGE and beautiful--I felt like I was in Ireland or something. After that we walked around town where we went to a knitting store and bought some yarn and then ate delicious burgers at a restaurant called Little B's. We then walked around a little street fair where I bought a neat bracelet with a dream catcher on it--I always feel like you need some sort of string bracelet during the summer. After that we went home and Dr. Flower taught me how to knit! I've been working on my scarf ever since then--it's coming along quite slowly but surely!
On Sunday my four roomies and I had a roomie lunch at The Barking Dog a block away from from our apartment. The Tony Awards were that night and we still don't have cable, so we went to the Times Square viewing party to watch the Tonys with a bunch of other theater dorks. It was a lot of fun!
On Tuesday I went to my morning class at Bova Actors Workshop. This week I worked on sub-personality, which is a way of getting in touch with the different sides of your personality in order to be able to connect to different character types. After class I got a call from Melanie saying that our friend from high school Katie was in town, so I went down to Brooklyn and met them for lunch before coming back to town for my evening class. After my evening class I came back and went to an interview at The Barking Dog, the restaurant that we ate at a couple days before. It went well and the manager scheduled me to start training to be a waitress on Friday!!!! Finally, the job search is over.
On Wednesday, The three of us went to lunch at Markt in Chelsea, which was great. Then Melanie brought us to a puppy store nearby and we played with a Peagle, which is a mix between a beagle and...something else. He was adorable and very playful!
On Thursday the three of us went to Central Park and lounged about for a couple hours, which was wonderful. After that, Katie left to catch a train up to Westchester to meet her family that she was staying with and I went into Midtown to meet Carly, a very close family friend of mine from California who is visiting the East Coast for a bit. She is like a sister to me and I haven't seen her in a year, so it was really great to see her. We ate at a place called Eatery, which was thoroughly delicious. We then went to see Avenue Q, which I get free tickets to from one of my jobs. It was hilarious!
On Friday, Melanie and I went to Central Park again. We were only able to stay for about 45 mins because I had to come back to The Barking Dog for training! It went really well--I shadowed a waitress that had worked there for a while. I enjoyed it but I'm a little worried for when I actually start working--there is a a lot to learn!
