Hello Weekend!!

Happy Friday!

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!

You have to admit that Rebecca Black "Friday" song is very catchy..

I haven't really *blogged* this week because it's finals time!

Some of you may be dealing with your own finals right now, and for some of you its a memory of the past.  A very fine memory right?!

I had a final yesterday afternoon at 3PM and I had a group presentation at 5:30PM as part of my final grade.  My group presentation has been the biggest pain in the butt since it started.  My professor put us into groups about a month ago and that's when we meet as a group for the first time.  During our first meeting it seemed like I had a good group. Well I was wrong, EXTREMELY WRONG!  We decided as a group we'd send out an email to everyone with presentation topic ideas and go from there because at our first meet up we needed to come up with more current events.  I was the ONLY one to send out an email.  My two group members didn't come up with any topics and decided just to do my idea.  When I asked when we should meet up to do our outline and decide who does what part of the project.  No one answered emails or text messages!  So after about 4 days going by I sent out an email telling them; what day we were going to meet, where, and what time.  Their going around my schedule if they want to be rude by not responding.

When the meet up day came only 1 of them showed up... she put in no input.. and basically said ummm maybe 15 words in that over an hour time that we were together. But she did make it clear that she didn't "have much time to spend on this project because," she had "a 25 page paper to work on, and it's more important."  Yup...She really said that...I was getting pissed!  I don't want my final grade to be effected because of these 2 slackers.  I hate working in groups, I actually despise it. I understand why teachers do it because when we get jobs after college we're always going to be working with other people.  But.. the chic emailed me her slides, oh oops, I mean slide - JUST 1!  My other group member swore he never got the emails I sent him and sent me his slides at 10PM on Wednesday night.  The night before our presentation was due and while I was studying for a final I had Thursday too.  I told my professor how frustrating and disgusted I was with their effort and work, thankfully he understood. I'm glad they looked like fools yesterday seeing the PowerPoint for the FIRST time while we were presenting it to my class.   How could people be so rude, lazy, idiotic, moronic, and not give a damn??? I could ramble on about this but some people, ugh....

I didn't get a chance to post my pictures from last weekend.

Sorry for being a weekend behind!

Friday Steve was off and so were all his best friends, which is very rare! Steve and his friends are on crazy opposite schedules due to school, work, girlfriends, etc.  So Heather & I spent the night with the boys.

It was a really good evening and it was nice to see the boys all together.

On Easter my family and I went into NYC for pass and then went to

New York City's Easter Bonnet Parade. 

Every Easter you have the opportunity to see Easter bonnets to the extreme as "paraders" wander along Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Streets. The area around St. Patrick's Cathedral is the ideal place to see the parade. The Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival runs.  From 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. the area along Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Streets is closed to vehicular traffic, and folks wander the street admiring various Easter Bonnets and Easter outfits.

We have been going as a family for acouple years now and my sister and I decided this year we wanted to make a bonnet to wear.  With us both being in college and dealing with end of the semester projects, we both didn't have time.  We made a pinky promise to do it next Easter. 

[Here's some Pictures!]

This is a man!!

There was a Gay Rights March through the city.  This is a photo of Tyle Clementi, he's a former student from my school, Rutgers.  Last semester he was harassed by his roommate through web cam.  He jumped to his death of the George Washington Bridge.

This old man was soo nice!

If you ever have a chance on Easter to experience this parade, I say SEE IT!!

The hats people make and wear are amazing, beautiful, strange, funny and some are confusing.  It really is a lot of fun, for all ages!

After the parade we had lunch and then saw Wicked on broadway. I've heard a lot of great reviews on this musical but it was never one I really wanted to see.  But... WOW!!!! Wicked is the BEST show on boardway that I've seen!! (And I've seen A LOT!)  Wicked was absoluetly amazing!  The story, the production, the singing, the acting, the humor, the lighting, it's all SO exciting!  Now I get why it's always sold out and my parents had such a hard time getting tickets.  I loved Glindas character, she was so funny.  Actually, after the show my dad told me Glinda reminded him of me and asked if I took acting classes from her. 

Its a must see show!!!

As for this weekend: My roommates and I are going out to the college bars for one of last couple bangers before schools done :(  Saturday is Steves 24th birthday so I'll be spending the day with him.  Then its back to studying Sunday and all next week. 

Have a fun weekend everyone!
