Awesome school! We've found the match! But, with only 10% of all applicants selected to join the freshman class, we have to be realistic. The odds are great that she might not be accepted. She's a very competitive candidate, but we won't know until she applies if she's good enough. She's got 2 other excellent schools on her list of final choices, but this school is #1.
Once we finished looking at schools, we spent a rainy day walking through New York City, visited the Grand Central Library, Grand Central Station, and Times Square.
Notes to self:
#1) Do not buy a new pair of shoes the day before you leave on a walking trip.
#2) If you insist upon buying a new pair of sneakers, make sure you get the correct size. I swear I tried on an 8.5 and a 9. Up until yesterday when I wondered why my feet hurt so much, I could have sworn I bought the 9's.
#3) When the blister begins to form on your foot, use regular band-aids on your foot. Do NOT use the special blister healing band-aids.
#4) If you do use the blister healing band-aids, be very careful when pulling them off. I managed to pull the band aid off last night, but not before it had torn the blister and a good chunk of skin out of my heel. Band-aids, Neosporin and ice were the order of my night last night. Looks like I'll be wearing my slip ons home in the car today!
#5) If its a beautiful sunny day in New York, packing a lunch and finding a spot to sit and eat is easy. If its a wet, rainy day, you will NEVER find a spot to sit down. Ever. Ditto with restaurants with a wait less than an hour.
This was fun, but I'm ready to go home now!
