One word: Amazing.

I was on my own today, but I got around just fine. In the morning I went to the Met (Upper East side). I managed to see everything I wanted to see in 4 hours. Roman and French sculptures, Expressionism, Impressionism, Post-impressionism, Modern art -- all great. I loved the Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Matisse rooms. I also bought some souvenirs!

The only thing I had planned for today was the Met, so I left myself time to head over to The Colbert Report (Upper East side). I waited in the standby line starting at 3pm and by 4:15pm, I was the first person on the standby list! Eventually, I got into the studio, which was followed by a lot more waiting. However, all this waiting was worth it! Once Colbert ran into the studio, it was amazing. He did a Q&A out of character before taping the show, where he sang to us. Then, the show began. He would do lots of hilarious, small things during the commercial breaks. He threw out free Wriststrong bracelets, but I didn't get one. Now, I'm going to watch The Colbert Report on TV to try and spot myself in the crowd.

Even though I did less things today, I'm still extremely tired! Waiting in line really took it out of me. Next entry: Conan!
