Weekend in Review

What a week it has been.

So last week was my first week on my client, and let me tell you, I am not a intern that runs for coffee, staples papers, and makes copies.  I have been doing so much actual audit work, and I have been learning so much.  It is really good to actually get a glimpse of what my life will probably be like in a little more than a year. 

Work was long, and tiring, but I still managed to get out of the house on Friday night for some fun.

I went to our weekly intern happy hour and had a great time.  I saw a ton of my friends from training, and met some interns from EY, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley.

After I left happy hour, I went to the Gamecocks bar to watch the remainder of the USC-UVA baseball game.  When I got there, I ran into a friend from college, Andy.  I spoke to him for a few minutes before I went to get a table to watch some of the game.

I left just after the 10th inning, and made my way home.  After a long week at work I was ready to call it a night.

Saturday I eventually made it out of the house around 3.  I went to Target, where I somehow managed to spend way too much money.  After target, I came back to my apartment and did a little cleaning.  It really is amazing how dirty this place can get in a week.  For dinner, I went and grabbed a burrito at Q'doba--and I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss Moe's.

After dinner, I was feeling tired, so I decided I was going to stay in and get some rest.

Today, I went on a nice morning run around 10, and found out that a gay pride parade was going to be happening on my block later this afternoon.  I got back in and showered and grabbed a quick lunch, and then headed back out to see the parade.

It wasn't really anything crazy, just a bunch of people walking the streets.  At least that is what I could tell. I seriously contemplated buying a rainbow flag. They were only $1.

After that little adventure, I made my way up to 5th avenue to go to forever 21 and H&M. I managed to just buy jewelry, thank goodness, and didnt end up spending too much.  Less than $20, actually!

After hanging out on 5th for a little bit I headed to Bryant Park, my favorite spot in the city.  I found out when I got there that they do a different movie on the lawn every Monday, so I am definitely thinking about going to one next week. After Bryant Park, I decided to walk to Times Square to get to a subway station that stopped close to my apartment.

Now that I am home, I have been busy doing laundry.  Soon I will start packing, because I leave for Boston tomorrow morning for a work conference.  I am so excited to be able to hang out with all of the other interns, and hopefully I will get to go out a little on my own.

I know I have been slacking about blog posts, but I will do my best to write more from now on!!
