Chinatown, Impossible Wicked, and PC Mag

Here is a photo of me at PC Magazine. Chris Cutri, my internship mentor here while I am in New York City, came to my work today to see my work and the people I work with. He seemed to like the place and was interested in learning more about my internship and the people there. Dr. Randle said hi via iPhone. If it wasn't for him, I would not have had this internship. I am thankful for his effort in that.

About a week ago, I was in Chinatown with my friends Brooke, Alicia, and Scotty. Brooke and Alicia really wanted to get a purse and this Chinese woman there said that she had a store to take them to. Scotty and I followed them and we entered this store inside a building. Things got awkward from the moment they locked the door. Alicia bought a purse and so did Scotty for his girl, when all the sudden the Chinese woman said, "Get out, policia!" She opened this back door and motioned for all of us to go down these steps and hide. Finding an exit, the four of us just decided to leave. It was pretty freaky. Lesson to be learned: never go into any stores inside a building in Chinatown led by a Chinese person. The stores in there are most likely illegal and not licensed to sell products. That is why the woman wanted us to get out of the store. They tried to hide it.

Last night, I tried to get tickets to the Wicked broadway musical by entering a lottery system at 6pm. You basically fill out a card and if they draw your name, you can get tickets to the show for only $26.25. It's a good deal, but there were about 100 or so people outside. My name never got called, but I will still keep trying. $26 is way better than the $110 they charge for normal price tickets.
