Before I headed out the door, my dad told me to grab a flashlight. They made it sound so scary, like some hobo was going to get me and stick me up for all my college funds (pffft yeah right). So I headed up the street and went down into the station. I had to take the 1 all the way up. The train took a little bit of a wait. The train had more people than I expected. And they weren't homeless, or very drunk. The train got stuck at like every station after we got out of the undergrounds. But the sun was rising and I managed to take a really bad picture of it all:
I finally got there and I met the masters head coach. He was a lot younger than I expected (Sorry!) and he had a big black dog named Argos. Argos is cute, I think he's a great dane? No maybe not, his lips aren't saggy enough lol. I also expected him to have a bigger truck. He drives a little red pickup truck. It was funny because he said that the truck handles different with a passenger. I hope he didn't mean that I'm fat!
I coxed the mens 4+ and it was nice. They were used to rowing in a quad and 4- (straight 4) so my bow person kept yelling stuff. It's a tidal course, so the course changes when it's low tide vs when it's high tide. Low tide is scary because you it's like, a 2k head race. And there's a BROKEN BUOY you're supposed to go around that is hard to see for first time coxswains :( Oh, and low tide stinks. Literally. The NYAC's boathouse is just across the lake/river/inlet/outlet/whateveryoucallit. And the equpment was pretty up-to-date! They had the newer coxboxes and the 4+ had the new Vespoli steering. (The side stick thing) It's stupid.
So we were done and some super nice ladies gave me a ride to the Pelham MetroNorth station. Apparently everybody at the rowing club knows Chelsea on my school's team. She's super fameous! Anyway, OH JEEZ THE TRAIN WAS EXPENSIVE. $8.50 for a one way! HOLY COW! So I ended up at Grand Central and took the 6 back to Union Square to take the L home. I caught my mom before she left for work. Goes to show how much crew people do before most "normal" people!
So obviously... I WENT TO SLEEP. Then I woke up and worked a little on my dad's website. We're trying to do a registrar/host transfer and it's a bit of a nightmare. I had 2 pots of gunpowder green. That stuff is so good. It doesn't need anything the texture is so smooth and the aroma is great.
My parents came home later and my dad ate some of my meatloaf from last night and we ordered it again tonight because he thought it was so good! So we had meatloaf again. We got the tomato&cheddar soup and the tomato alphabet soup tonight, but we didn't drink it so we stuck it in the fridge. Staying up late because I took a huge nap in the middle of the day.
