It has been two weeks since we have been in NYC and it has been a blast. When people ask me what I have done it is hard for me to recall because every day I experience many new things. With this I also need to acknowledge that some events will never be forgotten. For example, the amazing friendships that have been created. The walking forty blocks in the pouring rain trying to finish a scavenger hunt. Or managing to get my sandal heel stuck in the escalator outside of Juilliard. Some may wonder how one could accomplish this but when it comes to my luck anything is possible.
How did I become Cinderella? After an evening out with interns, don't remember where we were coming from, see above, I chose to take the escalator up to the main entrance. As I was laughing at the over achievers who choose to take the stairs I slowly realized the joke was on me. As I went to exit the escalator my right foot went forward but my left foot remained stable. I was over come by shock and as tried to gain my balance by grabbing the escalator, my hands continuously flew forward since the escalator was still running. At this point I looked like a complete fool screaming for help. After Theresa pushed the emergency stop, my foot could be released but the shoe could not be removed. It took two security guards to reverse the escalator to retrieve my shoe that is no longer usable - it looks as if it was attacked by a shark. It was really sad.
Every night when I come home I pass the two gentleman who came to my rescue. And every night they still laugh and point.
If you would like to see "shoey" you may take a visit to the staff office...it has become our mascot.
Good Night and Good Luck!
