2/27 first post

Its 1:37am right now. Ive been on this train for what feels like forever even though its been eleven and a half hours. I figured this is a good time to write my first entry, since i cant sleep and have nothing else to do. Last night was the party. It wasnt as big as i expected it to be but there were alot of people. Id estimate about 75 passed through. It ended early though, most people started leaving around 10, which was good, because it gave me a chance to check my stuff and clean my room. Bosh nissim and chanie stayed late and helped me clean, they headed home aroun 2 or 3am. The next day started off pretty well, had a friend stay over after the party, so i had a good night and a good morning, though i didnt get much sleep. Morning was a crazy hurry though. Got the last few things together, showered (cause who knows when my next opportunity to do that will be), ate a quick small breakfast, took the battery out of my motorcycle, said goodbye to my friend, who i will miss alot, though im going to miss many of my friends, and then after finishing my run on sentence of things i did in the morning, my father drove me to the train station. I thanked my father for his help with the party last night, gave him a handshake and then a hug goodbye. I havent hugged my father in years, i think the last time was at the airport on my way to israel in 2006, so i was expecting a hug to be awkward. It wasnt. When i got to manhatten i went to shmulis office and we went for lunch. He was in a hurry to get back to work for a meeting so we chilled for a few minutes, he walked me back most of the way to penn station then went back to work when i got a phone call from DJ, my hiking partner. we spoke briefly about our plans for when we arrive in atlanta, and then i headed to penn to catch my train. Here i am now, on the train. On an 18 hour train ride that had one break 4 hours in. Then nothing until we arrive in atlanta 14 hours later. Still better than taking a bus. Shouldve picked up a bottle o vodka in penn station to help me stay asleep.
