Throwback to last summer.

This was funny last summer, became our theme music for anything that was a major fail, and then was forgotten about...



Until Pat posted this next biddy on Julia's wall. Hilarious!

Here is the point in my life

when I wish I knew what was ahead. I don't want to know intricate details or anything, but I would like to know things like how long I will have to live at home working at Target, if I will get a job in publishing or if that's just a fleeting dream, etc.

Sigh.

I will be back home in Wheaton in one week from today. Probably around this time too.

...I wish this cold would beat it.

Ben Haist's Guide to Hipster

I did it!

I applied for my DREAM JOB with Simon and Schuster. It's an Editorial Assistant job in their Children's Division. Now I am superly nervous/excited!

New pictures.

Farewell NYC

Waterworks have begun. :(

Grumpin'

Today was just not my day.

It started with maybe the worst night of sleep ever. My air conditioner was being stupid and now actually blowing cold air, so it was hot as all get out. Add 3 tipsy girls into a not very large room, clad with two large windows that warm the room during the day anyway and what you get is an uncomfortable, stuffy sleeping habitat.

No good. I slept poorly at best.

Then work was work...I still can't believe it's my last week! :(

And then after work I went to take my 2 boxes of books to the post office, but FML because the two closest ones close at 5pm and didn't have an outside drop off! My arms and back are sore now and it's uncomfortable.

THEN! Theeeen I went on a hunt for a luggage scale. I had called Macy's on my lunch break and asked if they had any in stock. The woman on the phone said yes. Success! So I go there after dinner and wouldn't you know it? They are out of stock. The woman so kindly directed me to this place called Luggage Source, which was already CLOSED. Blah. Disaster.

And now...sleep!

Mini Jaw Breakers

are virtually useless, but I like the texture. They pretty much are just sugar, and are not even close to real jaw breakers. You can definitely chew these puppies.

From now on

you may call me Summer Finn. Everyone else can now be referred to as Tom Hanson. Please and thank you.

I am such a little worker bee

I am totally on the Bradley Website. Check it out.

:)

This is who I am seeing on the 7th on the Today Show?! I can't wait.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Yet somehow I kind of want to spend it alone, doing my own thing. But I don't know what I want to do. I see a problem with this.

I saw 500 Days of Summer yesterday and absolutely LOVED it. Check it out:



It seriously put me in such an extraordinary mood. :) Joseph Gordon-Levitt was great! I remember the days when he was on 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Maybe I will go to the Museum of Natural History. Just maybe.

I don't want to leave this city.

Why This City is the Greatest

Last night Rachel and I went to see the NY Philharmonic Orchestra play Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn for free in Central Park. It was wonderful.

How wonderful, you ask? Check out what the New York Times has to say about it.

Oh, and Alec Baldwin was there. That was just the icing on an already perfect cake.

Fotografia

These are mostly pictures from while I was abroad during the fall semester, but just the same, I like putting pictures on there better than Facebook, so I am sharing them with you here.

Without further ado.

Today was a pretty good day. Minus I almost passed out this morning like as soon as I got to work. Maybe it's because I was reading a really bloody, graphic part of the manuscript I was working on?

Man, I really am a pansy.

Either way. Mental image: Me, dressed up for work. Lying on the floor in my cubicle with my upper body under the desk.

They probably thought I was dead or something. I mean, it really probably looked like it. But Kate was wonderful and got me some water and gave me a handful of her Hershey's Kissables.

Nothing like chocolate to bring your blood sugar up.

My mom sent me a flower cake at work. It's beautiful (and also a big hit with the rest of the office)!

I still can't believe I am almost 21. I keep forgetting. AND Disney World is coming up. (!!!)

Book treasures of the day: The Graduate by Charles Webb, Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the books from the Mortal Instruments series.

Man, I love this job.

I also just saw my roommate Katy completely naked. Eesh, that was unpleasant.

I may sound like a pubescent boy, but I sure love this city!

In the last six days I have learned may things:

New York suits me. It suits me mighty fine.

Publishing is what I want to do. (The internship has been AMAZING)

Washington Square is perfect for people watching.

I am actually a lot better at making friends than I thought I would be (but I got really lucky. Like, really, really lucky).

Bradley cafeteria food really is that bad.
