NEW YORK: the program

Of course I already told you what was planned to do in New York, but now I got the program and I know what we are doing what days! The coming (2?) weeks you guys will probably only read about prom and New York, haha! When I am in New York, I am going to try to blog while lying in bed on my iPod, without pictures. When I come back, I have to write with pictures of course, haha!

The hotel has a pool, so I can swim a few hundred yards everyday. Before or after the day, for an hour? I don’t want to be out of shape when I come back, because the first day I am going to school again, we also have a meet! They also have fitness, so maybe I can do some cardio.. Well, we will see, haha. The hotel also has WiFi, so I can update my facebook and twitter statuses and blog. I don’t know if I have time to blog everyday (or maybe I am too tired?), but I am not there to blog. It would be nice (just like a little video, that would be awesome, but probably won’t fit on my SD-card) but it is not a must. I won’t die (hopefully) if I don’t blog, haha. Okay, here is the program!

saturday at 6am, my plane leaves for Chicago. I don’t remember how long I have to wait there and at what time I arrive in New York, but it is somewhere in the afternoon, haha. At 7pm we have our group dinner and we can meet the whole group. I don’t think we have to wait with the whole group on the airport if you arrive early, so in the hotel we will probably meet some other people or we can go swimming (there we go) or do something else. At 8pm we will do an orientation meeting so we know the rules of the trip.

sunday we will wake up early and leave for Central Park at 8am! We are getting a tour and I am really excited, haha! At 11.30am we will go to Greenwich Village (that’s where Friends ‘lived’!) for lunch. At 4.30pm we are going to get Hip Hop Classes! I am really excited for those (hello, New York, hip hop?), but I think I am going to be so sore! At 7pm we will have dinner and after that we will get some free time on Times Square, to shop (souvenirs!) and take pictures.

monday is going to be walking day! At 7.30am we will leave for a tour through Manhattan (just saying, we have a Manhattan in Kansas too!), walking, so we can see everything, haha. After this, we will head for the Empire State Building at 9am. I can’t help it, when we go up there I just need to listen to ‘Empire State of Mind‘, haha. At noon we will go to Grand Central Station to grab lunch and at 3pm it is time to visit the United Nations. At 8pm we go back to our hotel to relax a bit. (Or play games, go swimming, fitness or whatever we want to do, haha!)

tuesday is another exciting day! At 8am we will go to the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island, so I can go look for my name, haha. After saying greeting Lady Liberty we will get lunch at 12pm and at 3pm I can play Gossip Girl for a few minutes and sit on the Met steps, haha! Should I bring yoghurt? Yes, we are going to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they have different exhibitions when I am there. After the Met we will have dinner at 5pm and then it is time to dress up (I think) because we are going to see a musical on Broadway! Has anyone ever been there? Do I need to bring my dress-up clothes or can I go in jeans and a t-shirt, haha! I don’t know which one we are going to see.

wednesday is the day of departure. The only thing I know is that I arrive in Wichita at 2pm, and I don’t know when I leave. Time to add people on facebook, ask for addresses and pack my bag(s). Goodbye New York!
