Woke up at like, 4:30AM since my dad had to pick up a customer from the airport and then drive them to Ridgewood, New Jersey. Such a quaint area. Went to the International Center of Photography Museum to look at the 9/11 exhibit - they didn’t allow us to take pictures though which was kind of ironic. Then Meredith and I went off to K-Town to meet up with everyone else (Reylyn and Monica). We went to SoHo to walk around for a bit. I think we went to F21, H&M, Uniqlo…that was really it…? We ended up walking off to a vintage store Meredith once found and another store we just walked into random indie-looking stores. I was pretty shy about taking pictures because I know we’re not allowed to in some of them, unfortunately. We ended up in Chinatown eventually somehow and split ways. Monica wanted to shop some more, Meredith went to vocals, so Rey and I just went home. The ferry ride back was pretty.

Had to wake up at around 5 or so because we had to cross the bridge before it closed for the marathon. I was so tired, maaaan. In general though, I did good at Novices since I set personal bests in all my events (50yd 35s 100yd 1:27) and my coach was pretty happy, too. There was more people than last year luckily - so we had more events. I did the 50free, 100free, 200Relay and the 400Relay. :/ Next yearrrrr, going to drop another 5seconds hopefully.

The lighting was nice but the water was so thick ;/
