Sister Trip to New York!!

Basically in a nut shell this summer has sucked. It has consisted of work, summer school, studying nonstop, and some serious drama. So my sister and I planned a quick trip to New York for some last minute fun and to get away from everything.  

So our New York adventure began this morning. We flew out of LAX at 9 am & arrived in New York at 4 pm local time. We grabed a cab to our hotel & checked in and dropped our bags off. And then we were off to explore the city!! We headed to Times Square and wandered around for a bit. Then we went to Crumbs and grabbed some awsome cupcakes and ate them in Bryant Park before calling it a night!!

Fred

For the past week at Kumon we have been getting bizare nasty phone calls from a man named Fred that want to enroll his son in the program. Fred is very rude and does not take no for an answer. He insists on talking to our director who is unavailable & when we tell him she cannot speak at the moment he gets very angry and takes it out on whoever is on the phone. I personally have been the victim and have been called an idiot and stupid. Well today much to everyones suprise Fred made an apperace no appointment or anything. Of course like usual our director (the one he wants to speak to) is in a parent conference. So we ask him to wait a few min and she will gladly answer any of his questions. About five min later he come up and says "I can not wait around all day" and leaves his phone number an leaves. The whole time he was waiting he was just pacing with a huge scoul on his face. There is seriously something wrong with this man. I hope he does not enroll his son and I am begining to question if he has a son at all. Scary day at Kumon!!

Us Open update: Azarenka collapsed on court today & Andy Roddick was upset by tipsarevic in the second round
