magical day.

Today was a MAGICAL day.

It began with me waking up SUPER early and heading over to Harvard yard to watch 2008 Commencement for Eddie. They really know how to throw grand ceremonies at Harvard. It was extra special for me because I got to spend the day with my brother and my beaming parents. They were really proud. After a day full of festivies I headed back to work.

After work we headed to Fenway Park. THE Fenway park, with the GREEN WALL, home of the beloved Red Sox. We watched the Red Sox and Rays game. And guess what, in the first inning there was an all out BRAWL.


Today was a day for the storybooks.

THE LIFE (of a consultant)

So now I have spent 2 official days as a consultant. Let me qualify that, I have completed 2 days of training.

But already I've definitely experienced many of the perks of "the life" as a consultant. I've traveled to Boston, I've spent a night as a preferred guest in a hotel in a King size bed, I've received a nice laptop, finally, I've also received my own BlackBerry.

Tonight was a lot of fun. I went through a day of general training and then the intern class went to an amazing place called "Sebastians Interactive Kitchen." An amazing kitchen/restaurant where the interns worked together to create a three course meal and enjoy it together. (think "Hitch") It was delicious.

So this post is definitely the happy sugar-coated one in which I have experienced all the perks of consulting and none of the drawbacks. But for now, I'm really loving the life.

summer in the city.

Yesterday I arrived in the big city. That's right: the BIG APPLE, Manhattan, Gotham, "the city" (from Sex and the City), New York City. I've decided that I can't let this summer in the city go to waste, so I'm beginning to accumulate a list of things I MUST DO before leaving:

1. Run through Central Park
I live only like 5 blocks from Central Park, so it would be terrible if I didn't take a jog through the park at least once. Most of you know that I'm not a runner, but I figure I have to do it. There is a running scene in just about every movie filmed in NYC.

2. Get Lost in NYC
With my directional sense, this won't be difficult at all.

3. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
This just seems like a cool thing to do. I've heard that it's really nice at night, as long as I don't get mugged.

4. Go to Ellis Island
It's such a historic place, I think that a trip to the island would be well worth it.

5. Watch a Musical
M... I'm thinking like Lion King, Rent, Phantom, Mama Mia.


Feel free to offer more suggestions. In the mean time, I have to get ready for work, TOMORROW!
