A lovely summer day accompanied by excitement & good news!

This morning I woke up to the annoying buzzing sound of my phone, as usual. I thought it was my alarm but it turns out Alan was trying to wake me up...because oh right, I told him to yesterday! I am horrible at waking up when I'm supposed to...

He told me that SAT scores were up on CollegeBoard. That's what finally got me out of bed, haha. I checked my scores and to my surprise, I didn't do so horribly! I scored a 750 on the US History Subject Test and a 640 on the Math Level 2 Subject Test.

Anyways, after eating a quick (and badly cooked) lunch, I ran to the train station and headed to Battery Park to meet up with Stephanie. I miss her! We picked a shady spot to sit down by and talked about random things for the longest time. We talked about the future, our parents, people in our school--practically everything. Being in Battery Park made me realize how much I want to live in that area when I'm older--it's so peaceful. Stephanie and I agreed that we will both have successful futures and hang out with each other in Battery Park years from now =)

These photos were taken with my Sony point & shoot camera...which malfunctioned afterwards. The screen started getting blurry; the camera did not know how to focus. The lens spazzed, zooming in and out. This wasn't the first time that this happened, actually. The same thing happened when I was at the movies with Stephanie a few months ago (hmm, do we see a pattern here?) Eventually, the camera just stopped working and had a black screen. That's why I couldn't take any other pictures the rest of the day :(

We left Battery Park and roamed around this plaza...I think it's the Two World Plaza or something like that. It's the one by the World Trade Center. We took pictures there too but they are all on Stephanie's camera. Maybe I'll post them up later if she posts them on Facebook. Then we decided to walk to Chinatown to grab some cheap food. I love how cheap Chinatown's bakeries are! We loitered there too.

I told Stephanie about the Key to the City and she got really excited about it. We decided to go to Times Square to get the key. The line was pretty damn long but it was well worth the wait! Stephanie has some pictures on her camera, I'll post them when I get them. But all I took on my cell phone was this:

I'm so excited to explore all these places! :D

To top it off, when I got home, I found out my Physics Regents score!
I can't believe I actually got a 90. I felt like I didn't learn anything this whole year!

Well, tomorrow is the last official day of classes.
A lot of people aren't going to school because finals are over, but I'm still going. I need to give in my recommendation letter brag sheets and I want to hang out with my friends. =)
