visiting other school

This past weekend I went to visit one of my best friends at her school. She goes to SUNY Albany, and I had never been there before. So I was really excited to go visit her. She is in the schools a capella singing group called Serendipity. There is absolutely no background music except for the beats that the beat-boxers make. They had a showon Saturday night and it was absolutely amazing. They were all such great singers! And then after the show they usually have an after party at one of the girls' houses, so we went to that. It was a lot of fun and I was able to meet the male a capella group called the Earth Tones. I was able to see them sing in the schools' Christmas concert on Sunday afternoon. They only sang a couple Christmas songs but they were also very talented.
Besdies seeing my friend sing I was also just really excited to go to the school. I've really only visited I think 1 other school besides this, so i was just pumped. Albany is sooo different from Cortland. To go to any house parties you either have to drive yourself or take the city bus and get off at a stop a couple streets away from the house you're going to. And if you don't have an Albany i.d. then you have to pay $1.50 to ride each way. AND the taxi rides are a whole other story. Well everyone knows that Martin's Silver Star Taxi is the best taxi service in America and usually you only get charges $1 per ride. But in Albany, aa taxi's normal rate is about $3-$4 per person. And if you happpen to be riding by yourself it's more like $9. It seems absolutely insane.
But it was really fun to go visit another school and i definitely plan on going back soon.
