Last night
in my blog I talked about how I did some of the girls in my suite’s make up. I now
have proof of my hard work, I thought you might like to see how my masterpieces
turned out.
My trip to Princeton
went great! I started my morning by waking up early enough to take my time to
get ready. I walked to Absolute Bagel a small shop near the campus, the bagels
there where good, and the jalapeno cream cheese made my bagel stand out in
flavor. On my walk back to campus I made a pit stop at Starbucks for my green
tea fix.
During my
trip I made a new friend that from China named Cindia . She was very open when
talking to me about her experience living in a different county. She talked
about how she wanted to go to school in California which meant I could talk her
ear off of all the information I have from my home state. Among other subjects
we talked about the types of limitations the government has set in her county to
which I compared her response to my class discussion on the First Amendment and
how not everyone has the right to talk freely about their government in the
same way the America people can. While talking with her I began to appreciate
my rights that are protected against the government.
On my train
ride to Princeton I had time to re-read “My Beloved World” by Supreme Court
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an alum of the school. It was inspirational to know
that when she was in college she worked hard to help to advocate the rights of
minority students. That makes me think that I you just work to make the change
you want to see happen in your school it can go on to help other future students.
Princeton hands
down has the best looking college campus I have ever seen, and let me tell you I
have seen a lot. The city is just the cutest thing, you can tell the residence
take pride in keeping their community clean and well taken care of. Let me tell
you there public library was so nice it looked like a Barns and Nobel’s inside.
The campus made the school seem appealing to me I could not stop taking pictures
of some of the most beautiful building I have ever seen.
· Study Abroad programs
· Meet a 100% of financial need
· Good diversity
· Just a train ride away from a big city
When I arrived
back to New York, I decided to meet up with the rest of my cohort, who were
still visiting the 9/11 Memorial. I missed them and I thought it would be a
good idea to spend the rest of my Saturday with them. When I arrived Joyce
figured it would be a good idea to help us get a little more energy by getting
us all ice-cream. The ice-cream helped and by the time we arrived to Chinatown I
had the energy to walk around and stop by some of the shops. We had dinner in Chinatown
in a very small restaurant that was delicious. After we left the restaurant we
walked to Little Italy that was a few blocks away. When we arrived to Little
Italy the street was lid up by Christmas lights, the street seemed to be more
awake after the sun went down. My day was full of adventure and that just how I
like it.
