Tourist vs. New Yorker

Sunday in the City...

I accidentally overslept and missed church. I was going to go with Murph and Lauren to Apostle Church on 51st. Bummer. I'll definitely make sure to get there next Sunday.

When I finally got out of bed I went to the gym. I discovered a new machine that I like. It's just a variation on the elliptical. It does feel a little awkward with your arms and legs flying all over the place. I could tell I was getting a good workout though. I was up on the second floor of the gym, enjoying the view, watching some VH1, laughing and getting a great workout. The workout started out great but then a VERY attractive guy got on the machine next to me. I went from limbs flying, laughing, and sweating profusely to acting as cool as I could on the stinkin' machine. So I still got a good workout but I'm already sore from how long I was on the machine subconsciously trying to impress the guy. He did smile at me at least. haha.

I also went on an adventure to Times Square. In short, I learned never to go to Times Square on the weekend because it's packed with tourists. You know you're in an area with lots of tourists if you get ran into A LOT. New Yorkers are aware of their surroundings. Tourists aren't so you get ran over or bumped into by them. Funny afternoon.

I also walked to a bunch of theaters to see if I could get rush tickets to anything. No luck. I guess I'll just have to wait till summer's over or wait until a weekday when there aren't 5 kazillion people wanting theatre tickets.

Today was a walk around and explore day. I don't think I'll have too many more of those in the near future though. Either that or I won't shower before I go. The heat and humidity is just miserable and walking around outside for long periods of time is silly.

Tomorrow I'll be working on my audition material for upcoming auditions that are on Tuesday and Wednesday. (More on that later.) I'll be at the apartment most of the day because I'm expecting a giant box of my stuff to arrive. I don't want to miss it and have to pick it up at the post office 5 blocks away. It's too heavy for that.

Also! Tomorrow (hopefully) I'll be setting up an interview with Lori from Atrium Temp Agency. I'm gonna go ahead and check out temping. Lots of people have recommended this place so I look forward to my interview. Well, I guess as much as one could look forward to a job interview. haha
