my most social week yet

Going back to school after vacation is always dreadful, so I was not looking forward to this week. But I had an unusual amount of social events to cheer me up!
I started by meeting Kami, a friend from high school, for her birthday dinner at Carmines. The food was delicious!! And I liked the family style Italian food because we could try several different dishes. I would highly recommend, and I'd also be interested in going back to try more dishes!

Thursday was the midnight premiere of The Hunger Games!! I have not read the books, I hadn't even heard of them until I read about Jennifer Lawrence winning the role of Katniss Everdeen. The movie was so good! I want to see it again and read the books!
Friday night, I went to support my good friends Gian and Johnny and their fraternity's charity drag show. After the show, my face was so sore from smiling and laughing so much!
I finished the week with my friends, Gian and David's birthday party. A crazy party for the craziest boys I know!
Snapshots from the week:

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!

Remainder of Winter Break

I've been quite bad about posting as of late. School started this week, and I'm still very much not in school mode. Because of my exam schedule last semester (or lack of) my winter break was extra long—five weeks! But now I am back to my busy busy life, which this semester consists of 6 classes (18 credits) and interning in Brooklyn three times a week.
Here is a glimpse of my birthday celebrations (both at home and in ny with my friends) and our first #girlsweekend where my mum, sister and I saw Darren Criss in How to Succeed!!
