getting along

i have to say,
the more i wander around the lower east side,
the less impressed i am with it
though that seems to be a more general east–side thing
i've generally liked the upper west, hell's kitchen, chelsea, and greenwich better
more than upper east, alphabet city, lower east,
and whatever the fuck the call the neighborhood east of midtown
i think i'm going to call it 'pretentious–as–shitville'

my classes are really shaping up well
they're all taught by awesome professors,
and even though they all run two–three hours a piece,
i can't say i mind it that much
[i'm also saying that not having to work eight hours before hand yet,
so that might change here in about two weeks]
so far, all the reading has been really interesting,
and we've even taken a field trip
[we went to the african burial ground near city hall]
certainly shaping up to be more exciting than another semester at msu

also, what with this weekend being labor day weekend,
there's a huge west indian parade in crown heights on monday
which i am definitely going to go see
it's supposed to be the best parade in new york,
though i suppose i'll have to wait and see it for myself

i think i had something else i was gonna say
but i'll be damned if i can remember what it was
so i guess that'll have to be it for now
