Feast

The other day I went to a feast in New York City. I took the train into the city from Brooklyn with my boyfriend. I am from Jersey so it was somewhat different. I usually take a train into Pen Station but we took one right onto Canal. It was the firs time I went to something like that and it was a really good experience. It’s amazing that so many people gather in one place. The feast was an Italian one and everywhere you looked there were people of other nationalities. I think things like that are really good for the world. In a way everyone was celebrating something together and even if your not Italian people don’t look at you and wonder why your there.
We went to eat at an Italian restaurant. I am not really that big on Italian food because I don’t eat a lot of it when I am home considering the fact that I’m polish and I eat more of that kind of food instead. I really enjoyed my meal and everything about the restaurant. I love the city so it was a great experience for me. I can’t wait to go again next year.
My friend Sarah was in a car accident today at 12 noon. The accident was actually in my town on my street. My friend Wade was driving the truck that they were in and my friend Andrew was in the back seat. He was coming down my street going way to fast around the bend. He lost control of the car and went over my neighbor’s lawn. My neighbor has a brick wall that the truck flew over and then crashed into a tree. My mom saw the whole thing and said that after the crash Andrew got out of the car and couldn't walk. She called the police and within seconds of the accident they arrived at the scene. Shortly after the police arrived my mother said a priest came. Helicopters had to airlift them both to the hospital. Sarah was unconscious. I haven’t heard anything about how she’s doing and from what I understand she has a little chance to survive.
I went to school with her from first grade until the end of high school. She was always one of the nicer girls in school. She never had any problems with anyone. It’s just a shame that something like this had to happen to someone so nice and good hearted.

Water bugs

I have never seen a water bug in my life until last week and to be completely honest i would rather not see one again. I am terrified of bugs. Any kind of bug. I hate bugs that fly, crawl, jump, swim and any other way of movement. Last week as I was walking through my apartment I saw the biggest bug I have ever seen in my life. I thought that before I moved into my apartment that it would have been exterminated but I thought wrong. There is nothing worse then finding a bug in your apartment and not knowing what it is or how it got there.
