Excuse me but where did you buy your sled?

It's been 5 days since Auburn won the National Championship and I think I'm still on an Auburn high from it! The game started at 8:30pm on Monday but knowing how crowded the bar gets Vicki, Jordan and I got there super early to grab a table. The two hours went by fast as the bar filled up with excited Auburn fans who turned the bar into the student section by calling cheers and singing the fight song. It was the best place to be in the city! After an intense game the clock finally hit 0:00 and the bar went NUTS!! I swear it felt as if I was at Jordan-Hare with the amount of screaming taking place.  We then walked outside to find toilet paper being thrown in celebration all over a tree in front of the bar. It was amazing to see all the NYC Auburn fans and the screams of War Eagle could be heard for blocks! 

Tuesday brought NYC's second snow storm of the season and we were definitely more prepared this time! The snow started Tuesday night and by Wednesday morning there was a beautiful 6 inch coating of snow over the city. Vicki and I were eager to get outside to go play! Unfortunately we didn't have real sleds so we found a make shift one at Bed Bath and Beyond. Well that ended up being a total disaster as our poor little fake sleds didn't work at all! We went up to the Upper East Side at 72nd/5th to go sledding at this hill that is rated as one of the best places to sled in the city in Central Park! There were so many people out having a great time and all we wanted to do was in join in the fun. We walked around for hours trying to find a sled with no success. How can a city were EVERYONE has a sled not have a single store that sells one?? We were baffled. Finally we gave up and came home to warm up after roaming the streets for a few hours. 

I wasn't going to give up though so after many (MANY) phone calls around the city, I finally found a place that sold sleds! I immediately went to get it so that we could have sledding round two the next morning. 


Before any sledding could take place I had an interview! Yesterday morning I had a great interview for a paid internship and I also received news that  I wasn't offered an interview for an extremely competitive job that I was really hoping to get. No, this isn't the NYC job that I just interviewed for but I was still disappointed.  I keep telling myself that everything happens for a reason...

But I wasn't going to let that get me down because Vicki and I had plans to go sledding again! We dressed as warmly as we could and headed back up to the UES with our legit sled in hand! There was no one at the hill when we got there so we had it all to ourselves! The fluffy soft snow from the day prior had been compacted to harder icier snow- but that just meant our sled went so much faster! We stayed for about 45 minutes before heading back down to the Village as we were both frozen to the bone. But it was SO worth it!
