Hello!

It's Monday night, which means time for my weekend! My friend Dara from high school is coming into town tomorrow and we have a busy two days planned out. After my ASME luncheon tomorrow with the talent director at Hearst, Dara and I will meet up and head to the Met to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit. It will be my 5th time at the museum but meh, can't seem to stay away. I haven't seen more than the impressionism, modern art and McQueen exhibit... soooo, I have like 11/12ths of the museum left. I'll get to it...

Then we're planning to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, make dinner at my apartment, get dessert at Magnolia Bakery and perhaps see a movie. Adventurous day, but still relaxing. Wednesday will be our Chelsea and SoHo shopping days, and then, what I've been waiting all summer for: Shake Shack. The shake shack, known for all things unhealthy, milkshakes, hamburger and fries. yum.

Finally, I have some motivation to make the most of my days off. Otherwise I'd be sleeping in, and really not doing too much. I guess I can relax when I go home, next week. Ah!!! A week and a half from now. Crazy. Lots to do in the meantime.

What have I been up to otherwise?

Work, work and more work. I still don't really dread or ever not look forward to going into the office, which is a great thing. Aka, first job where this is the case. I've also been pretty busy organizing stuff for the school magazine. For readers who don't know, I'm the editor in chief of the magazine next year. Meaning, I have a lot on my plate. From choosing content, overseeing production and staff to talking/planning with the design and photog teams, to communicating with the ad and marketing departments... talking with faculty and our advisors about technical stuff, and now helping to organize student media orientation...  busy busy busy. All on top of my internship. I'm ready to get back to Milwaukee and only concentrate on Journal stuff. I still feel somewhat out of the loop not having been on campus in 9 MONTHS! way excited to get back. I miss my friends :(

This past Saturday, in the 98 degree weather, Lizzie and I trekked to the Hestor St. Fair, which ended up being way smaller than I thought, but cool nonetheless. We browsed the artsy stands and looked at all of our food options, before Lizzie settled with some dim sum, and I went with currywurst. I was obsessed with it in Berlin, so it was glorious to taste it again. I love currywurst. I'll post a photo blog entry soon... don't quite feel like uploading photos now!

Then Saturday night I met up with my friend Caroline from study abroad, and we explored the West Village and ended up running into my roomies Rheanna, Rosie and Rosie's friend... small world! There's a really popular pizza place called Artichoke right nearby so Caroline and I grabbed a slice of artichoke pizza, which I still don't really know what artichoke is, but it had a creamy alfredo sauce and was deliciousssss. yum. but so filling. too filling. needless to say, I felt gross Sunday morning when I woke up for work.

Other than that, not much is new. Tuesday (today by the time this is posted) is my brother's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WIL!

I'll update after my adventures with Dara.
