Day Seven Part Two

12ish-1 - cait took me to lunch >lunch= cheddar grilled cheese with avocado, oregano and lemon mayo thanks to Lil Muenster grilled cheese place. Delicious. We ate by the carousel looking across east river. We had a blast. I'm such a fan of Cait I met Jessie today, she's another volunteer person. She just graduated Left around 1:30 Dropped stuff at apartment 3:00ish - Met Schuyler and Emma at Starbucks on 75th and Broadway. Holy shit I haven't seen anyone I know in a while Walked around lalalalareunitedhappybs We had shawarma (for Rasheed) it was delicious Went to trader joes so I could get dried mango Hurried back to apartment got a cab and after we get a few blocks away I remember... Shit. I forgot my mango nectar. Shit. I forgot my water too. Fuck Fuck Fuck This bus leave at 4:30 and it's 4:20 Spend whole taxi ride quietly freaking out has money issues with can driver I'm not even sure if I got correct change RUN to bus and they are literally shutting the doors. Goodbye hugs and find a seat AND NOW IM STUCK ON THIS GODFORSAKEN BUS WITH NOTHING TO QUENCH MY THIRST FOR At least 3 HOURS, IF WE EVEN HAVE A PIT STOP IN DELAWARE. FUCK.
