Return to Daily Routine.

Last week was the most relaxing week I've had in a long time. Yes, no intense anger, just a few itty bickers, but all in all, a great time all around in Puerto Rico. We visited a few places in Puerto Rico, explored the Rio de Camuy Cueva Clara, went hiking in the El Yunque rainforest, swimming on a beach that looked like the setting for lost, explored an old city, and of course, peaceful sleep. I'm not a picture -taking kind of person. I steal pictures from my friends. I only take pictures in places I know I don't want to forget aka Paris. Hah. Paris again. Anyways, I brought some homework, but none of it got done, so now it's back to the final month of school. I don't know if I'll go back to school, so as of now, this is the last month of school..ever. I am freaking out now. But, problem is, I can't bring myself to do any work. It's the homestretch and I'm lazy. What gives?! The sun probably. Oh well, time to get back into to groove of things and frantically search for a job on top of all the schoolwork I have to do. Why do teachers like to pile all of the workload in the last two weeks of school? They're just asking for procrastinated-half-assed work.

BLAH. This is my lazy post.

Phew. A break.

Hello old friends. Due to my exceptionally busy schedule and just lack of time, I haven't been able to update. Fortunately enough, it's SPRING BREAK! My last one too, I'm afraid. I'm gypped of one. UNFAIR. So, leading up to today, it's really just been, school & work, school & work therefore, I am due for a nice long sun-filled break. I'm currently in Jersey right now visiting my parents because it's my mother's birthday the day I leave. She's okay with it though. Weird.

Moving on. School has been over in my mind since the day it started this semester. I'm working on my thesis, trying to be interested in my PR class, trying to attend my EMI (Entertainment & Media Industries) class, and trying to stay healthy while I juggle these endless papers on top of my internship. I've been managing well lately, I'm proud of myself..to some extent. There's only two months left until graduation! May 10th and May 12th. Yes, I graduate twice. It's great, get the use of my gown ya'know. It's $50 dollars to rent! Crazy.

In terms of job searching, I've had people offer me internships, which I don't want. I have to contact a few people from job fairs because they said they would contact me and if I didn't hear, I should reach out to them. So, that's what I'm doing. Discovery is being good to me. I've learned a lot about selling, how to work around things, time management, and met lots of different people. The people at Discovery really make the company, they're all happy and want to be there. Weird, right? It makes me want it more! My boss and I have been getting along quite well, I'd like to call her my "third mentor"--we're assigned two from the start. Another one of mine just returned from getting married (!!) and the other is working her butt off because...well it's her job. She's good at it. I don't blame her.

Asides from Midterms week, I've had a lovely time in New York, despite the cold weather. I love meeting new people and going to places I've never been. I explored the LES bars and EV bars. I'm not an alcoholic, but a few drinks are always nice after a long day. New favorites are Bua and Piano's Bar. Always a little crowded, but usually a good time. My friend's girlfriend has been visiting for a month, she left last Wednesday (sad). It doesn't matter though, because we had a great time, I met a few more European people to add to my list of friends across the pond, and just enjoyed spur of the moment activities with the girl. Always a good time.

Then there's food. Always food. I've eaten at Congee Village, Cafe Orlin, IchiUmi, May's, Pommes Frites, Flea Market Cafe, Westville East, La Palapa, amongst so many others. I can't even begin to describe the multiple food-gasms I've had. Kat has always introduced me to new places to eat, and I love her for it. Food is a huge staple in my life because well, that's the only time I'm able to see people or they're able to see me. Again, always a good time.

Well, now I'm at home, bumming around, posting on my blog. I leave for Puerto Rico on Monday and return Friday. I don't expect to take pictures, but that's how I am (unless it's Paris of course). I'm excited for so much sun and just absolute relaxation. To end this, I will post some epic photographs. Ciao.

The Latest Sunday.

Song of the Week: Rihanna's Te Amo

I understand my pictures were a bit eclectic in choice. They didn't complement each other in any way. Plus it was just dumb. Now, I'll try to stick to a theme yes?

I Want...

I want to dance again.

I dream of places I want to go.

I want to be like her.

I want to see this one day.

I want to paint again.

I want to create a fastastical world.

I want to live with no regrets.

I want to hate the cold weather.

I want to wear and make beautiful clothes.

But all I really need is peace.

I Don't Know What Day it is Anymore

Interesting week, it's been. Yes, Yoda talk. The past week has been interesting and confusing at the same time. Discovery has been picking up, probably because I hound my boss for work. Not always a bad thing, right? From what I can tell, I think I and this one other girl, out of five, enjoy this internship the most. I can do what they ask and new things are usually quick for me to learn. I like finishing work, it makes me feel good. Call me weird. Today we had two extra long meetings - one about a program designed by Discovery's IT department, cool, and another about how marketing and ad sales marketing works, which was cool, but it got a little dull when he talked about what we, or at least this other girl and I already knew. So it was a day with basically, a four hour meeting. It's tiring, these meetings! Blah. Moving on. Had lunch with my fellow interns. Finished my work and headed off to class.

This week, my social innovation marketing class was held at Weber Shandwick at 55th and 3rd. Right next to work! Success! It was the most beautiful office I have ever seen. I wish I took a picture. Ha, too bad! So, we had Weber Shandwick employees talk to us about what social innovation really meant, we talked about what the company actually does, why they do what they do, and why what they do is good. Broad, I know, but if I talk about everything we learned, this post would end up a novel. Overall, I got the best impression for the company and well, it's now one of the companies I want to work for in the future. There's an internship available. I'm fighting for it.

On a more...dreary note, it's been quite a long week. It feels like Friday, which is never a good thing, because there's still two more days in the week. My days are driven by coffee and espresso, today especially, and I'm so out of focus with my schoolwork. This week is crucial. Midterms are next week. I had a nice little escape today with the Lau family - I happen to join them at their meals since it's the only time I get to see Kat. Had wonderful Pho at Pho Bang [haha I know], and carrot cake at someplace on Mulberry which was amazing. Food escapes are always fun. With the Lau bunch, they never skimp on food. So, that was fun. Now it's midnight and I have heartburn and work in the morning. Tums and bedtime. After a few pictures posts of my...favorite things. Kinda.
