Beautiful
I am currently sitting with Maritza on some steps at the main campus of Columbia University on upper Manhatten, right between the law library and the general library. This place is beautiful, it is 8pm and it is slowly getting dark but I am still sitting here in my shorts and a t-shirt. I am supposed to do a detailed review of a paper by friday, so I should really get back to that, just wanted to send out a ping - I am still alive :)
I arrived on friday and spent the rest of the day trying to stay awake with Ash, my australian friend from AT&T. I spent four hours saturday morning trying to get a temporary registration for my car at the New Jersey DMV, which I finally got (hint: It is much easier if you have a US drivers license). Ash and I then went in to New York and met up with Maritza and Haakon in Central Park. We ended up going to a few bars near Columbia and I spend the night on a huuge air matress in Maritzas Columbia apartment.
The next day we went to a Yankees game agains Tamba bay, we had bleacher seats and sat in the sun for a few hours before we agreed that the Yankees were too far behind to win. Ash, Maritza and I then cooked a big meal, complete with deserts and appetizers. We went to bed early and did a tour of the UN head quarters after a very late breakfast at 12pm.
Well, I should really be doing that review, see ya :)
