Today's been a day of ups and downs.

The Good:
-Ran into a high school friend whom I haven't seen for three years. Reminded me that I did have friends in high school, but it's partly through my own negligence that I haven't kept in touch. Must rectify that with a Happy Hour get-together next week ( Read more... )

Random thoughts strung together:

+ I'm thoroughly enjoying my current book, The Once and Future King, but it's a bit like watching a train wreck in slow motion--you know what happens, and you should look away, but you can't. Especially since I'm on the chapter on Lancelot and Guinever. I've always meant to read it since it's a "classic fantasy ( Read more... )

Meanwhile, since it’s become my job to point out the disparities and injustices of the world, check out this hilarious article on interns working at New York’s big-money law firms. Oh, what I would do if I ( Read more... )

One phrase about sums it up right now: TGIFMade it through week number two of my internship. It's crazy how work weeks seem like the longest, most painful thing in the world when you're right in the thick of things, and as soon as you get to Friday night, you look back and think it went by in a flash. Or the weekend will, anyway, but I'm kind of ( Read more... )

Today I bought my first ever business suit. Two, in fact.

Omg I feel so old.

I did a very un-New Yorker-ish thing today ( Read more... )

My internship started today. For once, I'm actually pleased about it ( Read more... )
