Wed. Jan 4, 2012. I woke up at 2:30AM to head out and catch the first meteor shower of 2012, and that is the Quadrantid meteor shower. I saw one or two before the moon set at 3AM, but once the moon set and the sky became darker, I got to see 6-7 “shooting stars” across the sky within a matter of 15 min. I was satisfied with this and ran back to bed. It was FREEZING COLD outside!

How I did it: When first arriving to D.C., a woman was telling me that one of the things she was looking forward to doing was kayaking on the Potomac River, the same river that 1st U.S. President George Washington relied on for his livelihood and transportation. So today I went to Georgetown and came across the Thompson Boat Center, a place where you can rent kayaks and canoes. I rented a kayak for an hour, and kayaking was actually very easy! It was s… Read how I did it…
I knew I had to complete this goal before reaching 30, and I now get to say that I did it! I showed up at 1PM but NYPD moved us around so much that someone showing up at 5PM could’ve been next to me. We were saving our spot around 44th on Broadway but wasn’t aware that we had to go through security check. At 3PM, we were moved to 49th and I knew that, with the amount of people there, I wouldn’t be around the ball. I went back to 43rd at 5:30PM and was very lucky to have been the first to go through a new security point. They placed us 40 yards away from the ball! I brought a pillow, snacks and drinks. Had a great time!!!
