Go Team(s)!

Mets Citi Field
Last night, Wednesday, I went to my first pro baseball game and NYC sporting event, the Mets at home against the Chicago Cubs. About twenty friends from church and I headed out to the really nice, new Citi Field in the rain. It did clear up a little but then got REALLY cold. Half of us left in the 7th inning because the Cubs had the game, but mostly because of the weather. I think the other half of us were actually all Cubs fans. As you can see from the pic, the seats were so close to the field on the first base line and in the foul ball zone for sure; I had to pay attention so I wouldn't get hit in the head! I'm going to try to get my hands on some more pics from the game by the way.

I aced yet another test, this time in psychology this morning. If my clinicals in January are as easy as my current classes, I'll be good to go.

Happy Earth Day, which happens to be 40 years old. AM New York told me to pat myself on the back today for using public transportation and recycling (which is required here) so pat pat. Not that it's directly related to being green, but I have decided not to spend any money today. I haven't worked in 3 days and need to slow my NYC-style spending. For example, a hot dog, fries, and hot chocolate at the game last night was around twenty bucks. Yea, and I don't even like hot dogs. The weather is nice here so maybe I'll do some free things outdoors like check out one of the running trails in Central Park or one of the free Earth Day events.
