"The twists and turns of your life can be so unexpected, and that's a good thing to learn. " - Christina Baker Kline

Quite an uneventful morning - although my boss was here so it was quite busy, people were running around, meetings were being had...

During one of our meetings, it got cut off by another meeting and my boss asked us to stay so we could discuss afterwards... so I didn't get to go to lunch.

Oh well.

Bomb scare

But I did run into someone from the Canadian Mission, so I walked with them for a bit, got to talk to them and then as I was leaving, ran into ANOTHER person from the Canadian mission so we stood and talked again for a bit and then as I reached the elevators, I ran into another two people from Canada.

It was a good day for me to meet my people I guess (-we're everywhere-)

I headed back up and worked a bit more on my projects before it hit about 5 and I headed back home to grab a sweater and drop off my stuff.

As I was walking towards the usual intern bar...So many of the roads were completely closed off. Completely.

There were about 4 helicopters in the sky.

Outside for Shakespeare

There were at least 8 cop cars that I could see behind the police tape.

There was a fire truck and a paramedic.

There was bomb squad.

And a fruit stand guy who was stuck behind the police tape (trapped forever haha)

The building where the interns go to drink is actually in the same block as the Israeli Mission and apparently there was an unidentified package in front building so... everything was shut down.

At the same time, there was another bomb scare at Times Square and Colombus circle (but the same guy) and I gotta say, this city is scary with its reactions to threats.

At the bar :D

And they get a lot of threats.

I met up with a friend and we decided to go over to another local bar (that does $3 bottles, it's very divey) and waited until the drama died down.

We headed back over to the other bar afterwards and it was empty because of the scare.

Afterwards, we headed over to the park, where there was Shakespeare in the Park (Unfortunately I don't know "As you Like it" quite well so I ended up leaving a bit early.
