Wanna hear about my awesome coincidence of the day? Okay so I was walking the several blocks between my evening class to the subway and I passed by the other kind of Subway (the sandwhich emporium) which has a musical speaker mounted above the doorway. I've never noticed it there before, or that it played music at night, but tonight it was playing "99 Luftballons" by Nena (original German). I was like woah, that's one of my favorite songs! Then I get on the subway, and as I move to one of the seats that lets me ride backwards, I see a girl holding a red balloon. Out of all the cars on all the subways in all of NYC, and she's right there. Cool, right?

The best part is that I was wearing this shirt.

In other news, it's October, and I have two weeks left to say I'm 18 and that I'll be 20 next year. A terrifying thought. The problem with living in the city is that the trees don't seem to explode into color at this time of year. They mostly just go from green to dead brown and fall off. I haven't been to Central Park yet to see how things are there, but I'm going to be severely disappointed if I don't get to stare out at an ocean of reds, yellows and oranges again this year. Or miss out on the crispness of the air, and what with all the nasty cigarette odors within every square foot of this city, I really can't afford to.

But hey, balloons!
