Weekend in Review

My first weekend being a working girl! Having never worked a 40 hour week before, let me tell you that I have come to appreciate the weekend much much more.  I decided that every Sunday, I will post a weekend in review, so that I can give you the story of the whole weekend at once!

Friday:

I actually got off of work at 3 on Friday.  It was really nice to be able to come home a little early and have some time to rest.  And rest I did, I took a nice long nap! After my nap, I ate a little bit of dinner.  I was supposed to go to an intern happy hour, but I decided to skip out on it as I was feeling pretty tired.  Friday night I mostly stayed in, nothing too exciting. 

Saturday:

I woke up pretty early to try to get to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit that I didn't get the chance to see last weekend because of the long lines.  I was halfway there, and I discovered that the 6 train was down.  Unfortunately, I was not going to walk 1.5 miles there, and didn't necessarily want to pay for a cab, so I never made it to the Met.  However, I was in the area in which I will be working for the rest of the summer, so I decided that I would go find my office. 

I am working on Jefferies, a broker dealer, but that is really all I can say without violating my privacy agreements. 

I found their office, luckily it is only 2 blocks from the subway station, so I will have a pretty easy commute. 

After finding the office, I decided I would walk over to 5th Avenue to do some shopping.  I found a 6 story Forever 21, so I was in trouble.  I ended up buying a few things, and feeling guilty about spending money.  I ended up leaving 5th after F21 because I was scared I would spend more.

But, I did get distracted walking to the subway.  I found a bakery I had been hearing rave reviews about called Crumbs, so I walked right in to see what they had.  And I found this:

A peanut butter cup cupcake.  I bought it, without any regrets at all.  When I got home, I immediately sat down with a fork to dig in to this wonderful creation.  It was, hands down, the best cupcake I have ever had.  The frosting was a peanut butter buttercream with chocolate cake.  There was even icing INSIDE the cupcake.  It was heavenly. 

After my cupcake, I watched some tv, then met with my friend Bret for lunch.  I know dessert before lunch, always a bad idea.  We ate at a little deli, and I had barbeque chicken pizza. The slice was huge! It was really good.  Afterward, I went through Times Square to get to my subway home.  I stopped in Toys r Us in Times Square to look for a NYC themed Barbie for a gift to one of my friend's little sister, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything. Maybe I will be able to find her something before I leave. 

Once I got home, I napped and watched a movie I rented from iTunes.  If anyone hasn't seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, then you should.  I see it recommended as a top rated movie on a lot of sites I come across on stumble, so I decided to rent it.  It was a really great movie, however it was hard to follow at times. 

At the end of the movie, I heard my phone ring. Which meant the doorman was calling me.  Austin had sent me flowers! They are so pretty, and the note was really sweet.  I was feeling down, and he wanted to make me feel better.  They definitely did!

After the movie and dinner, I headed to Brooklyn for Target and DSW.  I was really disappointed in the DSW, but I always love going to Target.  I may even go back today! I had to get my dad a father's day card.  Obviously a little late. While I was at Target, Bret called, so I met up with him and we headed out for a fun night. 

Sunday:

I woke up pretty late for me, about 10.  I was tired still so I just laid in bed until about 1.  When I finally got up, I decided I would make some lunch--easy mac--and get a small grocery list together.  I think I will try to find Trader Joe's today and shop there for groceries.  I hear they are much less expensive.  After making my shopping list, I swiffered and swiffer mopped my apartment.  Let me tell you, this place gets dirty in a week, and I have no idea how I still have hair on my head after all of that shedding. I guess I will have to start doing a swiffer during the middle of the week too so it doesn't get so dirty.  

For the rest of the day I have just a few things to accomplish:

Grocery Shopping

Finish Laundry

Research my client

Pick out a work outfit

Organize my work bag

I am pretty nervous about starting at my client tomorrow, but it is definitely something that I am looking forward to.  It was tough to be sitting at the office all week hearing lectures, so I am ready to jump into some real work!

Wish me luck!
