It finally came, I've got my passport and visa! I actually have it in my hand!!!! Was it all those faxes of complaint I sent or did they just get their act together in time? Does the squeaky wheel actually get the grease? I'd like to think so, but we may never know. This means I'm off to England and legally! Thanks for everybody's support and thoughts!
I've been having a great time in N.Y. Jenn and I went to see a show called 'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,' (yes- I thought it was a good idea for me to see a play about spelling) it was so much fun! I walked all over Washington Heights and found an amazing park with cloisters (way better than Central Park in my mind). I also got to meet some of Jenn's nursing friends who were a fun group of gals; we went walking around the meat packing district and I had my first celebrity sighting- Heather Graham (she was the blond in the Austin Powers movies)- she was just getting a cup cake at the Magnolia Bakery like anybody else.
Now I'm at my friend Emily Persky's in Queens. My other close high school friend, Robin, is also visiting and last night we went out to a Greek restaurant and had an amazing dinner. Oh, yesterday we went to a show in Brooklyn to see a group called 'Harry and the Potters' a couple of brothers who have a punk rock band and sing songs about Harry Potter; among the titles are 'Voldermort Can't Stop the Rock' and 'S.P.E.W.' it was hilarious. Tomorrow we're getting up a the crack of dawn to go to Emily's school where she teaches to meet the kids and talk about our jobs- I don't know I'll be very convincing at that hour though! Well Emily and I are going to the supermarket to get some things for dinner- I'm craving vegetables; I'm missing all the fresh produce from home! I'm leaving for England on Tuesday- Wish me luck!!!
