Feb. 6th, 2010 10:32 amSo today morning I woke up and ordered room service, because even though I feel bad for making the university pay for it, Ithaca is just hell if you want to get anything to goddamn eat without turning into a popsicle.
So I ordered fruit, buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and blueberries, and orange juice. I have to be like super healthy (yesterday when they took me to an atas restaurant for lunch I ate half a caesar salad with grilled chicken, and most of a chocolate mousse truffle thing, and spice tea).
I think not eating properly is leading to gastointestinal bleeding or some other weird thing like that. It's either that or I shouldn't wear jeans with multiple layers underneath because they are cutting into my guts.
Then in the evening I hung out with the grad students from the hortorium (sp?) and they are all fun people and ate half a slice of mushroom pizza and two wings and OJ (yes it is a trend).
Right now I am on a bus, which is amazing, because it has internet access and is comfortable and is going to take me directly to new york city without all that annoyance of stopping in the middle that is the single worst thing about public transport. All those unnecessary stops.
Have I mentioned that Cornell is amazing? I haven't? Okay let me tell you about the hotel that is located right in the middle of the campus, which I stayed in. It's nice, has hot water and bath robes and TV and everything. Sheets! Even though they did not come close to the terrifyingly tightly tucked in sheets in Berkeley, they were still pretty damn impressive. Also they make up for it for having incredibly decent coffee and tea, and a coffeemaker (YES HOT WATER). Sadly I am currently still attempting to not be on caffeine because my internal clock is messed up enough without being on chemicals.
They're predicting snow in NYC today. How very pretty it would be, eh? Snow is still a fun novelty that I'm stomping around in. Yesterday a grad student took me around the lake and we stomped so hard I was hot and sweaty for my ensuing interview, which is great.
