What an adventurous day, from the start. I woke up before noon for the first time all summer! Drove around New Jersey, picking up Bing, Michelle, and Eric, before meeting up with Jasmine and heading to Six Flags Great Adventure. We got there around 1pm, due to unforeseen delays, so we only had five hours in the park. But boy were those five hours efficient!
Between 1pm and 6pm, we went on (in order): Nitro, El Toro, Bizarro, Kingda Ka, El Toro, El Toro, Kingda Ka, Nitro, Nitro. Yes, I got blasted from 1-128mph in 3.5 seconds to 456 feet twice in one day. Amazing. My favorite is still El Toro, though. You really can’t beat the beginning-to-end intensity, the nearly vertical drop, the head choppers, the weaving track whipping you around at high speed; this is THE roller coaster. Experiencing it once every time I go to Six Flags is awesome. Three times is… indescribable. The best part of the trip, though, was the empty lines. Note to self: go to Six Flags more often in May.
Afterwards, we headed back home and onward to Yale. After a string of bad luck involving traffic, missed trains, and wrong tracks, we go to Davenport gate a lot later than anticipated. My poor father had to drive back home (through traffic!) at midnight on a work night. But now here I am, back at Yale, sleeping on a plain, extra-long, twin-sized mattress with a sleeping bag over it. It kinda feels like band camp (the sleeping bag part and the dirty-clothes-in-a-garbage-bag part), but in a single with empty Yale furniture everywhere. I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do until Sunday (Clinton!), but I’m sure I’ll manage.
One more week until Hong Kong!
