Yesterday I slept in. Then I went grocery shopping. Then I decided to see if I could get student tickets to a show called "The 39 Steps". Its based on a movie, if you've heard of it (which is based on a book, but that's neither here nor there). It was a comedy, and it was pretty good. The entire cast was only four people, who play over 150 different characters over the course of the night. The do a lot of creative costume switches and prop use. It was a fun play to go to and I'm glad I went. After the show I called Dr. Metz to let him know how it went and hung around the theater. As I suspected, it wasn't too long before the cast came out. Only a couple people were still hanging out in front of the theater so I got a chance to get their autographs and talk to them for a few minutes. Its so weird, because you don't expect them to be normal people, but they are - its pretty cool. Makes you wonder how many famous people you just pass on the street here without noticing, though.
Today a few of us went to Calvary Baptist Church in Manhattan. The sermon was about not putting your trust in money, but putting it in God - always a good thing to be reminded of, I guess.
Afterwards we went to central park for about a half hour, then went to a shop to eat some soup and sandwiches, which were yummy. Then we met another housemate and took a ferry to governors island. Until a few years ago, the government/military has always used the island - it has just recently been opened to the public. It was a pretty good day there, some cool old buildings and stuff.
Once we got back this evening we were pretty tired, so we watched "The Bucket List" - if you haven't seen it, I would recommend it. Now I'm watching a little football (first game of the preseason, I think) and it will be time for bed soon. Peace.
