Starting the Semester out Hard

September 11, 2009
I didn’t go out last night. There was some club thing, but only Candace was going, I found out late, and it was a cover charge club. I decided to be a good boy. Today, there’s a J-Cole show, which is the first artist signed onto Jay-Zs new label. It turns out that the show sold out early, but I can still get them at the venue when the show starts apparently.
I go to meet up with Jonah and Evan near NYU before 8:00. Before I walk down there, I take three shots of vodka and talk to Atron about law school and LSATs on the walk down. When I meet up with Evan and Jonah, we go to the Warehouse liquor store. We don’t want to get a whole bottle. Instead, we see in the “deal box” that there’s two plastic bottles of pineapple Malibu for $9. That’s a really good deal because it usually should cost $9 for just one.
We go to the store and get Diet Coke. I also get a bagel with veggie cream cheese because I hadn’t eaten dinner. We go to Jonah’s dorm and pregame. We end up going there late, past 9:00, but the show starts late too. Jonah and I are able to get tickets at the venue, an NYU building, for $10 with no problem. At the show, the lack of sleep and liquor hits me a bit and I doze off for a bit during the beginning acts. I don’t really fall asleep, but I have my eyes closed and I’m sorta out of it.
Afterwards, I sober up and watch the show, which is a bit tame because it’s an NYU building. Jonah plans on going downtown to hang out with Candace whereas Evan and I go to the bar afterparty for the concert that’s supposed to have an awesome drink deal. Evan and I walk all the way over to 14th and he says that the crowd is old so we walk down to almost the West Village for a place he was texted about. Then he finds out that the place is dead. He then gets pizza and it’s so much walking. I decide to go meet Candace and Jonah and it’s hitting 1:00ish.
I stop off at Evan’s dorm for a piss, which again was a walk. I then have to walk down to the Lower East Side to the bar. Dude, I’ve been walking way too much! I finally get to LES and find Candace and Jonah standing outside. The line is pretty long, but it moves along at a decent pace. About half way through, Candace says that people are leaving. I end up going back home. A slow night and I actually was itching to drink because I’d been sober for a while and had been walking around so much. Meh, it’s exercise and less calories for not drinking.

It’s my long day today. Breakfast is walking to the bus two blocks away with a rice cake and an apple. Spanish is meh, but at least I’m signed up for the last presentation so I don’t have to worry about it and it’s about a good country, Cuba. Hope my partner isn’t an idiot and at least I didn’t get a nothing country like Paraguay.
Then I hang in the library and have my salad and some popcorn with water. Afterwards, I have my Democratic Theory seminar, which is long. It’s on Rawls, which is really boring and stupid. I then have my Constitution and Minorities class. I throw in some participation because this class is mad basic and we’re talking about Dred Scott.
I get back home and get some working out done. Situps with weight across my chest. Then shoulder exercises my holding myself up against the cabinet and bending my arms to drop myself and pushing back up. I then to go to run for 1.5 miles. When I get back, I have some brown rice and a bit of the dish I made over the weekend. Chicken, spinach, peppers, celery, carrots, and garlic spiced pretty heavily. I go for a smallish portion so that I’m sorta satifised and don’t stuff. I chill out for a bit and then grab a snack. A cup of celery and carrots with hummus and sour cream. A filling snack that’s really light. The diet’s been rocking well.

I get back from my class it’s already 8:00 because of how late my class is. Candace texts me and asks me if I want to come out. It’s been a long day and I’m tired so I could use a few drinks. I down four shots before I walk down to the East Village. I get to the place by 9:20ish. There’s free pizza there, but fuck that, I’m still dieting.
I thought I missed Chris Q’s set, but I see him outside and it turns out that someone else is playing for now. I actually like him. I sit inside with Candace and Jonah. After Chris’ show, it’s 12ish and we decide to go a taco place that Jonah knows. At the bar, I had their two drink deals. A shot of whiskey and Stella for $8 and a peach flavored shooter for $3. By now, I’m feeling the hunger and my inhibitions go out of the window for some authentic tacos. I try to use as much Spanish as I can when I order. I have a chorizo and carnita taco. The fillings are delicious and doesn’t taste like the crap you get at Taco Bell. The soft taco has flavor and tastes of corn instead of the paper stuff you get at the store or other Mexican places. I walk home after this and get to bed by 2:30 for classes tomorrow.

Josh is throwing a shindig tonight for the The Office and Always Sunny season premieres. I run to campus to go with Evan to Josh’s. However, his meeting is running late so I take the train myself. I get there. Kenny, Josh, Jonah, and Josh’s friend are there. The Community is on for a bit. Kenny leaves pretty quickly.
We make a run for food at some point and I get a bagel with cream cheese. That doesn’t help the diet when I had a huge ass burrito from the Mexican place near me earlier.
We end up leaving pretty late and I think I get home by 2:30.

Evan said he’s going out this weekend because the “leash” is back home, Sam. (Just kidding Evan and Sam). I meet up with his at 11:00ish near me. His friend Emery is having a birthday party at his apartment. I went to his birthday last year actually. It’s a decent size party with a really awkward beer pong setup where it runs from the living room to the kitchen through a half wall. I actually see a few guys from Prague there and say Hi. We stick around for about 20 minutes until we go downtown to Still, an NYU staple. These two cute girls outside are selling wristbands outside for $5 so you can get the drink deal of $3 beers.
I’m a bit smashed by now so I decide to take them on their deal. Come to think of it, I realize later, that it’s not a good deal. Beers are usually $4-5 and I’m not gonna get a good deal out of this because I’ve already drank a lot. I must’ve had 4 drinks before I left and a beer at the apartment party. I go through a beer. Then Evan has a gin and tonic on me so I’m not drinking alone. He said he’ll wait on it and end up going hard tomorrow instead.
After that drink, I decide that I better take advantage of the deal and order another beer. I chug that and we decide to leave because Evan wants to go, none of his friends showed up. I get back by 1:30 and without changing or taking out my contacts, I pass out for two hours. I wake up at 4:00 and feeling a little loose, gotcha feelin’ the goose. I hang out for a little bit and down some mad water and then go back to sleep because there’s nothing to do.

Bolanos is back in Great Neck. I tell him and Kenny to come into the city. After pregaming for a bit, I run downtime and meet them at Burp Castle. Evan and Josh show up. After a bit and a beer, we get bored of the place and go to the sports bar next door. After another beer, we move on. Bolanos grabs a beer from the store and we do some public drinking. We walk by Crif Dogs, but don’t want to wait on that. We to go Sophie’s while Kenny heads back to catch the 1:19.
I get two beers at Sophie’s. Josh mentions some girl with awesome legs, but she’s speaking to this dude all night and bought him a drink, so I didn’t wing that for him. Finally by 2:45ish, Bolanos has to run to catch the train at Penn. On the walk back, the beers from Sophie’s finally hit me. I didn’t have a full dinner so the pregaming and all the beers added up.
