Happy Birthday, Meridith!
This morning I slept in but luckily I wasn't too late for work. I attended a workshop on SMTs and learned a lot. I'm really excited about the one for Friday morning. Other than that, work was pretty normal. Nothing too exciting.
Melissa and I left work early today to go to Columbia University, where our New York Media History class was meeting in the World Room. It's a room in the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia. It's famous for the stain glass in the room that came from the old World Building where Joseph Pulitzer started his paper, The World. I couldn't find a picture of the stain glass online and I can't get the picture from Laurel tonight so I'll try another time. Joseph Pulitzer was key in raising money to build the base for the Statue of Liberty. He could recognize the importance of it, being an immigrant himself, even if so many others didn't. The stain glass is a very large square with the Statue of Liberty in the middle. One each side of the statue is a globe. If I remember correctly, that design was also the logo of the paper. The World Room is also the room where the Pulitzer prizes are judged, so it was cool to say I was there.
Today is Meridith's 27th birthday, so after class a group of us (me, Laurel, Lyndsey, Brittany, Melissa and Brandon) took her out to dinner. We went to a Thai place called "Spice" in Greenwich Village near NYU. Although I didn't order it, I tasted duck for the first time ever. Brandon got it and let me taste his. It was kinda like BBQ chicken, but that had a lot to do with the sauce and the way it was cooked. The food was really good and fairly reasonable in price. Happy Birthday, Meridith!
Anyway, I've got lots to do. I'm sorry these postings have been kinda dull and boring lately. It'll get better, I hope. :o) There's some good stuff coming up, like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and likely Central Park. So, stay tuned.
