Hurricane Party

I've been in NYC for only two weeks so far and we've had an earthquake and a hurricane.  Both of these are rare in the city.  I wondering now that maybe I shouldn't have moved here. Haha.

Well, I was pretty worried about the hurricane. On Friday, I went to Fairway to stock up on canned goods. The supermarket was CRAZY.  Everyone was preparing for it.  People were buying bottled water and lots of food. There were long lines and a ton of customers. I grabbed a few large bottles of water and a bunch of canned goods.  I figured I would stay home on Saturday and watch movies.  The hurricane was supposed to come at night and be gone by Sunday morning.

Instead of my original plan, I went over to my friends' apartment: Braxton, Morgan, Patrick and Ed.  They were having a hurricane party! I packed an overnight bag and it was so much fun. Ed introduced us to Van Gogh Espresso shots. We played Kings Cup and watched Princess Bride. We had to drink every time we heard "inconceivable!", "as you wish" and "true love".  It was a lot of fun.

At the end of the day, the hurricane was significantly less severe than the city had anticipated, which was great news. People were complaining that it wasn't much of a hurricane, but I think that they should be thankful that it wasn't bad. I heard that a lot of bars stayed open actually during the hurricane and some CBS students were out partying.  Go figure, lol!
