3:28 AM

 David: i'm transferring to emory

 

me: what holy shit

  

that's awesome

  

!!!!!!

 

David: yeah, i literally didn't give it a second thought. i noly applied because my parents forced me to

3:29 AM 

me: whoa that's so cool

  

maybe your parents fixed it so you'd get in

  

maybe to make up for all of the years of abusing you

3:30 AM 

David: that would actually be awesome and might even redeem their poor parenting

 

me: it would for me

3:31 AM 

i'm at a cafe and there is a crazy person who keeps talking to himself, he is bald and really fat with fat rolls in the back of his head

  

now he's talking about his invented girlfriend

  

that's so awesome though

  

congrats

3:32 AM 

did you do really well in college?

 

David: man now that's awesome, can't get that anywhere else

 

me: you should come here as soon as you can

3:33 AM 

David: no, which is the really weird part. i have the exact same gpa as i did in high school, which is a 3.1

 

me: he just called me tom brady

  

that's literally a crazy thing to happen

  

even though a 3.1 is better in college than in high school right

 

David: you should take that cas a compliment

 

me: i am choosing to

3:34 AM 

this is amazing, i am facing a window that looks directly out onto mcdougal street (which is bob dylan's street in the village)

  

you should come here as soon as you can

3:35 AM 

David: min-blowingly cool

me: hahaha i bet this was a great father's day for papa cao

3:36 AM

David: it's funny filling out forms with his name, especially when they ask for only the first initial

3:37 AM 

me: hahaha

David: mostly toured the city and some scenic spots

3:38 AM

i'm also living with my girlfriend, which is great so far

3:39 AM

3:52 AM 

David: i don't know. what do you recommend? i'd like to eat at some famous/good places. and i guess any good concert/events that only happen in ny?

3:54 AM 

me: yeah i haven't been to many famous/good places so we should go to them

  

yeah there are free concerts in the park and stuff

  

i saw david byrne for free in prospect park a couple of weeks ago

  

so we could go to those

3:55 AM 

there are free movie festivals

  

i'm sure we'll get to go to some parties and stuff, or at least opium magazine events

 

David: damn, that already sounds awesome

3:56 AM 

almost all of the flights from bham to ny require at least one stop it seems, and thet all take more than 6 hours

3:57 AM 

me: this guy just came over who works at the cafe and gave us free glass dishes

3:58 AM 

shit that sucks

  

well hm which airline?

  

laura took a jetblue flight that was really short

 

David: ah ok, i was looking at sw

3:59 AM 

lol free glass dishes?

4:00 AM 

me: yeah and then he came over and wrote our names in permanent marker on some sort of glossy paper

  

and wrote "NYC" on it

4:01 AM 

David: any reason for this or was he just being badass

 

me: up. then he asked me for 2 dollars

4:02 AM 

and i didn't know what was going on and for some reason entertained him and it turned out i had 5 dollars and then he gave me only 2 dollars in return

  

and now i am out three dollars and am depressed

 

David: hahahahahaha

  

that's even cooler

 

me: i also think the dishes are from the cafe

  

i think he stole them

4:03 AM 

David: hahahahah, wow he must be a really lazy criminal or just crazy

4:05 AM

4:08 AM 

me: that sounds fine except i might have someone else coming to stay with me for a couple of days on the 7th

  

i don't care it's up to you with regards to sleeping arrangements

4:09 AM 

David: oh where i sleep is the last thing i care about. as long as you're ok with two extra poeple staying with you

4:11 AM 

me: nah i don't care

  

july 6 and 7 is fine

4:12 AM

David: heh can 3 bucks even get anything

4:14 AM

David: great, now i'm hungry

4:15 AM 

me: haha i am too
