No Olympics in 2012 for NYC :-(

- So that was a bust. Apparently I’m not too consistent with my writing, so I’ve missed two weeks of blogging. Here’s the quick recap of events missed:

  • I surprised my mom for her graduation (she got her MA in Public Adminstration). She was totally NOT expecting me to come, so that was fun!
  • NYC did not get the Olympics, unfortunately. No one knows yet it they will bid again, but things are looking bleak since the USOC has already decided to open up bidding for 2016, giving New York no special preference.
  • My sister came to visit for a weekend. We shopped, went sight seeing, shopped, ate fun ethnic foods, shopped, went to Central Park, and shopped. All in all a good time!

- Other than that, I wrote an entry on the blog we have at work about people being more friendly to co-workers (read just say hello to people in the hallway), and all I got was cynical remarks about how New Yorkers don’t do that. Whatever, at least now I know where they stand, and I don’t have to feel bad that people don’t speak in the halls. I tried.
