Today my roommate for next year showed up. I let her in, she unpacked, then when Kelly got back we all headed downtown to meet Emem and get food. We ended up finding a diner, where Kelly drank someone’s leftover syrup through a straw. We talked a bunch, but that was definitely the highlight.
Then, when we left, I tried to take Emem to the green line, but instead ended up walking her four avenues out of the way. Who knew the green line stops at 33rd, not 34th? (Probably a lot of people). Anyway, I felt bad, but she got home just fine.
And then I headed to the Ginger Man, to meet Marya, who was almost a teacher at my school. I talked with her, but even more to her brother, who was hecka cool. Eventually, he and I left, though she kept going strong. And then I got to sit and wait for an uptown train on the red line for over an hour, which was ridiculous. I fell asleep hard as soon as I got home.
