" I can&amp;#039;t believe that aside from my birthday, this was the only weekend after spring break I have spent at NYU! The semester really flew by, and I thought I had so many more weekends left than I actually do. The weather was beautiful, and because my teachers are preparing us for finals my homework load was super light (for once!). Friday was an epic girls night, filled with chatroulette-ing, diy mani/pedis, facials, and so much girl gossip and bonding. Capping off the night with delicious thai food and a DVD, I forgot how great staying in and just relaxing can be with the ladies I love! My Cultural Foundations teacher told us to head to the Cloisters, a medieval sect of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the starts of our final paper, so my classmate and I went on a massive adventure to 190th street. To put it into perspective, NYU is on 8th street! It took an hour on the subway to head uptown, but the view of the city from the tip of Manhattan as well as the breathtaking artwork made the journey so worth it.  Afterwards, my group of friends and I went to Tao, the outstanding asian fusion restaurant I went to for my birthday, to celebrate the end of the spring semester. Dressing up? Eating elegant food? Ooohhh totally my scene! It was great to be together all in good spirits before the stress of exams and papers kick in. It was certainly a dinner to remember. Afterwards, I came home to a lovely surprise! My chem-buddy, Harris, came over to do some well-deserved photo-booth-ing! We took over 100 pictures in a half hour! This playdate was one of the funniest I&amp;#039;ve had in a while, I literally cried!  To close out the weekend, I wrapped up a paper, got my reading done for the middle of the week, and lounged around my dorm with friends. I&amp;#039;m feeling a little run-down though, so I better get my strength back before the last ten days of school! -Renae "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
