Today was the hardest to get up. But We had to pack and be out of our rooms by 9am. One thing I have learned on this trip
is that it really doesn’t take me that long to get ready. We got all our stuff put in the room
and went to Jamba again for breakfast and then headed to the fashion district
to shop for fabric. We went to 3
different stores that sold spandex to find material to make swimsuits for our
class. Finally we found some we
liked at a store but it took forever to try to figure it out. We then decided to go to 5th
avenue and go to the nice stores down there. It was actually really fun to stop in to some of the
stores. We went to Steve Madden
and probably could have spent the whole day there. I loved looking at the shoes. They didn’t have the ones I liked in my size, but I got flip-flops
for mom and I. We were probably
just sitting in there for an hour an they brought us whatever we asked, it was
so nice! On our way down the
street we stopped into Urban Outfitters and H&M. We also passed by Abercrombie and Fitch, which is funny
because there is a line out the door.
They have live models inside with their shirts off and stuff, pretty
crazy. Hollister is awesome
because the front of their store is a huge TV screen of the surfers at
Huntington Beach. They also have
live models. We also stopped into Sephora,
which was awesome because of how it was designed with balconies and
everything. Our last stop was
Henry Bendel, we felt weird walking in because it was so nice but we went in
and it was awesome!! Its an old
mansion that they have turned into a store. A girl wanted to show us hair stuff so she did our
hair. She just re-curled Desi’s
hair and straightened/curled mine, except she didn’t do the back. So I had wavy hair in the front and
curly hair in the back. We decided
we were hungry so we stopped to eat at the Plaza Hotel (like in Home Alone,
Eloise and Bride wars). We just
got sandwiches from a cheese shop (they had like different food sections). I got an Italian grilled cheese that
was way too cheesy…I couldn’t eat the whole thing. I forgot my metro card so we walked back to the hotel, but
it only took us like 30 minutes so we had time to kill. We went to Time Square and just sat at
a table and chilled. After we got
to the hotel and put our purchases in our luggage we were waiting in the lobby
and the fire alarm went off. It
was funny because no one moved or did anything and then they announced it was a
false alarm. Our bus came and we
watched them load our luggage before getting on. As we were standing there a weird guy dressed up as Elvis
came right up to Desi and stood there staring at her till she noticed, it was
way weird! We hurried onto the
bus. It took us 2 hours on the bus
to get to the airport because of rush hour, which meant we had a little over an
hour to check in and go through security.
We got special treatment checking in and ran to the security line. Everyone was split up and trying to
figure out what to do. I got in
the security line and realized something had to be done because we weren’t
moving and our flight was boarding in 20 minutes. I went up to the guy and told him the situation and everyone
in our group joined me. So I told
him we had a class that needed to get through security fast. He let us through! I have never done anything like that
before. It was still a long wait though
because they only had one guy checking tickets and two scanner things. We ran to the gate only to find out we
had to take a shuttle to our gate.
Everyone started getting together and then we realized Desi was the only
one missing, so we were calling her like crazy. Two girls went running to find her just as the shuttle was
loading, thankfully they did and we all got on the shuttle with 20 minutes till
our flight was supposed to leave.
We got to the gate just in time an got on the plane. I mean I doubt they would have left
with 20 people missing, but it was a crazy experience. So now I am on the plane and we are
supposed to arrive around 11pm. I
am planning on opening my mission call around midnight. So that will be crazy!! I’ve been freaking out about it. I want to open it, but I don’t. It kind of makes me feel stressed and
scared and like throwing up, but I am sure it’ll be okay once I open it.
