First week of school!

I'm still getting back into school mode, but I'm getting there. I intern three times a week, so it breaks up the school day nicely. The only downfall is that I'm so hungry after 4:55-6:10 class!
On Thursday, I decided to try a new food truck that frequently parks in front of Carlyle: Seoul Food. It is similar to Korilla, but has a larger menu and the items are also pricier. I decided to get the spicy pork bibimbop, which was huge! Easily two+ meals. I was a bit surprised that the truck charges tax, which I don't think food trucks should do because they are a truck and not a brick and mortar establishment. The food was good, but not as flavorful as Korilla and a bit too heavy handed on the kimchi, which I don't like. The guy was really nice though and gave me a sample of the pork.

Eunice invited me to go Megu for dinner, as part of NYC restaurant week. The decor was so cool! For appetizer I got the crispy "Okaki" Asparagus, the Chef's "Omakase" sushi for my entree and the green tea crepe for dessert! So yummy and a wonderful experience!

At my internship, we moved offices from DUMBO to Cobble Hill. What an experience! Because we are so small, we had to do all the packing and loading and unloading—everything! Although, I didn't have to do much of the unloading because we were parked in a school zone and in front of a hydrant, so they told me to stay with the van. I am very excited about the new location! There are many, many more restaurant options (with $5.50 lunch specials!!) and close proximity to target!! Additionally, the building is much nicer.

Saturday was a night full of 21st birthday celebrations—including my own! I had Indian food with my friends who were not yet in NY for my birthday, and then we went to our other friend's birthday celebration in Ktown for karaoke! What a tremendously fun night!

I mentioned last week that Pose featured my outfit. Well guess what, I was featured again!!! The app featured my birthday outfit, which was also well received by my friends.

dinner with Eunice!

on why I had a good week!

This week was quite wonderful! for a multitude of reasons!
On Monday, I got two packages!! two! One, was a children's book that my photograph is actually published in!! The other, was a package from my mums which included a nice array of treats and my Missoni bobbi pins!!

On Tuesday, I received an email from my friend Justine! She's studying abroad in Paris this semester, and I was in Shanghai last semester, so we'll be emailing for a year. After classes that day, I (purposely) bumped into my Shanghai friends in front of Stern. After chatting for 20 minutes or so, we decided to get dinner at St's Alp!

After dinner, Eunice and I were walking back to campus, and Dylan Sprouse nearly ran Eunice over on his bike! Eunice was quite happy to see him, to say the least. Then we went to the Coolhaus truck for pay what you want ice cream sandwiches!! It was my first time going to Coolhaus, but I see their truck all the time in Union Sq. I got the Makers Mark peaches ice cream with flapjack cookies.

Thursday, was just as exciting as Tuesday. Before classes I went to the gym, and when I was walking through Union Sq someone gave me a sample of mascara, full size! And one of my suitemates got an entire goody bag of Chanel products from her internship, and she gave me two lipsticks!! I die! After classes, I took my usual walk home, passing Stern and I ran into Gian. He needed my help making brownies for his frat potluck dinner. We had quite the adventure making brownies and cookies, to say the least. And then, we decided I might as well just go to the potluck dinner with him, since I know so many of the members.

Saturday was a lazy day. I slept so well Friday night because my AC unit was finally fixed!! After three nights without AC (aka, not sleeping) I could finally sleep! So, I slept in, went to the gym, went grocery shopping (and I got pumpkin ice cream!) and got a banana cupcake with pumpkin frosting from Butter Lane, my favorite cupcakes! And I got a free cake pop for checking in on foursquare! But I gobbled it up while waiting for my cupcake. I also tried to make brownies for my friend Johnny's housewarming bbq. I wasn't sure how good they were, since I don't have a shallow pan, so I made brownie muffins. They ended up being cookie brownies, which people seemed to like!
