The Centre of the Universe

It's true: New York is the center of the universe.

 

The amount of stuff coming through this place on a daily basis is nuts. In the past 48 hours, without even leaving campus, I have seen the President of Ecuador, Jeffrey Sachs, and Wyclef Jean speak. The menu of upcoming speakers, conferences, exhibits and activities is too long to list, too long to possibly

take in. On top of that, I have friends coming through the city every weekend until Christmas. And I don't think that I'm just getting blasted with a meteor shower of awesomeness; this seems to be the exact place in the universe through which all awesomeness passes. I feel like I could stand in one place and the entire world will come to me here. It's fantastic. A little overwhelming. But fantastic.
