Shopping on Bay Street

Today Yupa and I went down to Bay Street to go shopping! We spent wayyy to much money... but it was tons of fun! We went to tons of stores. I got a knock off chanel bag and watch, a pair of shoes, a shirt, and a cute shirt. :)

right now we're trying to find a ride so we can go out clubbing!

POWER ME UP!

So we lost power, and just got it back... It was raining insanely hard, and there was nothing we could do...

1. I don't know how to use a power generator, and neither did the 3 people I randomly called, one of which included post one.
2. We had nothing to do

Luckily Yupa and I both had flashlights! :) John was nice and was coming to get us! Unfortunately he got stopped to help out a stranded embassy employee. However we were able to finally get back our power, after about 3 hours... It was pretty scary and intense rain.

1st Day at US Embassy Internship

Today was my first day at the US Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas. I woke up at 6:30 AM (after having gone to bed at 1:30, wow I'm an idiot). Marilu, drove Yupa and myself, to pick up Miguel, and then we headed to the Embassy. I was really nervous and energetic for the first day!

When we got there we went in, and gave in our passports to get a visitor's ID. We then parted our separate ways, I went w/ Marilu. We had gotten to the office really early, so we were practically the only ones there. So I helped her out w/ a few tasks and met a bunch of people.

For lunch I went out w/ my supervisor, which happens to be a fordham alum and the #2 guy at the embassy. We went to Conch Fritters, which had some pretty sweet burgers.

Marilu drove us home at 4 PM. After that Yupa and I walked to the beach, which was gorgeous!

1st Day in the Bahamas!!!

Today I arrived at the Nassau Airport. The flight was super empty, I had my own row to myself. When I landed I realized that I had no idea where I was meeting my sponsor Marilu. It turned out that Dana Renfroe (the community liason office aka clo) and my new roomie, Yupa picked me and the other new intern Miguel from the airport. Luckily they had held signs so I knew it was them, or else I wouldve been lost and confused.

After we arrived and I took my bags into my room, we went to Marilu's for dinner. She cooked us chicken tacos which were very yummy! :)

The house is pretty sweet. It's 2 floors, the first floor consisting of a kitchen, living room, back area and a small patio. The second floor has 2 bedrooms, one of which is mine, and my roomie has the master bedroom, however i have my own bathroom and office area! :)

City Date w/ Mike :)

Today was awesome, Mike and I went on our first date! :) We met up at the Time Warner building, he was at Borders at the time so I went up to meet him. Then we went to this cute sushi place for lunch, which was really cute :) Sadly he eat more than me, but he is only idk, a foot taller than me? lol.

Afterwards we walked through Central Park, which was really nice. We walked around, watched some people playing baseball, Bacchic, and walked around the lake. We found a really cute, seculed place to sit on some rocks, where we laid down - which is now 'our spot' :)

Then Mike had to go be a good friend and meet up w/ his friend from Boston.

Today was perfect! :)

CONGRATS TO THE CLASS OF 2009!!!!!!

CONGRATS TO FORDHAM UNIVERSITY'S CLASS OF 2009!!!

I am going to miss all of you! You guys are amazing and you will all have a special place in my heart - you know who you are! :)

Grades Complete

I finally got the last grade I was waiting for that would make or break me! Waisman gave me an A in Corporate Financial Policy, I was shocked! :)

That brings me up to a 3.66 for the school year, meaning I made the dean's list for 08-09! :)

Encaenia 2009

Yesterday I went up to Fordham to support Jayme and Greg at Encaenia - Fordham's Award Ceremony. It took me an hour to get up there, it should have only took me 40-50 mins max. I got to hang out w/ everyone which was fun.

The ceremony itself was BORING, but it was very nice. I was proxying the annoying parent taking lots of pix for the DeSocios ;) At the reception they had tons of champaigne and chocolate covered strawberries :)

On another note, looks like I have a date (well dinner at least) w/ Mike next week! :)

Kate Voegele

After work Ashley and I went to Highline Ballroom to see Kate Voegele perform. We had some issues w/ getting the tickets to the show, but it all worked out! She was PHENOMENAL!!! Kate sang songs from her 1st and some from her new CD (that comes out on Monday). She was soo good live!

After the show, and much waiting, I got to meet her!!! She came out from her tour bus and took pix/signed autographs! (I also got part 2 of my master present ;)) Kate was super sweet, and soo nice!

Last day at WMG

Today is my last day at WMG, it's bitter sweet. While I'm glad to be done, I'm going to miss everyone.

I'm supposed to sit in a meeting with Kasia and Cody (two of the other interns). From what I heard, it should be interesting.... I had heard they had not come in the past month...

I guess I won't be leaving as early as I had anticipated. It's all good.

CONGRATS VICTOR AND TAMMY!!!

CONGRATS TO VICTOR AND TAMMY ON WINNING THE AMAZING RACE!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOMMY!!!

I love you! You are the best!!!

Today we went to Corrine's for a BBQ. The food was AMAZING!!! She made chicken cutlets, her chicken cutlets are AWESOME!

We were there, it was a bit boring, as there was nobody around our age there.

FINALLY HOME!!!!!!!!!!

Moved out today, junior year is officially over.

Glad to be home though, I miss my bed!

DONE WITH FINALS!!!!!!!!!!

I'M DONE WITH FINALS AND JUNIOR YEAR!!!

I took my last 2 finals today in Operations & Product Management (OPM or Modern Operations Management - MOM) and Investments and Securities!

The MOM test was easy-ish, but the Investments test was HARDDD, everyone thought so, even smart people like Ray and Greg. That doesn't make me feel as bad about it.

What am I goign to do with myself now?

**EDIT Events later that night**
I went to the caf w/ John and Jenny, and bumped into Rose, Linda, Sarah, etc. Rose was flipping out, so I went to Walsh to help and calm her down, Waisman's take home final was INSANE! After that Connor came down and we headed to O'Hare to watch Wall-E!

I got bored and decided to text Mike, even though my friend usually advise against it for certain reasons which I will not mention. He called me around 1:20 AM to tell me he was going to Pugleys, so me being done w/ finals, bored and wanting to celebrate went out. As I was about to get there, I bumped into none other than BERN! We talked for a while, then all of a sudden Connor, and his roomies Matt and Tom came. I went in and finally met up w/ Mike, and then headed to chill w/ Connor. However on the way I also bumped into Kate Schweighart, talked to her for a bit, and then made it over. Everyone was out that night!

FEEL BETTER JENNY!!!

This morning Jenny went to the hospital for exhaustion. Last night she came to my room around 2 AM, and looked like DEATH! So I told her to sit on my chair, where she proceeded to tell me how her legs felt like jello, and she couldn't stand up. So I told her to sit and get some sleep, but she refused, and requested that I get Andrei to make her coffee... After some arguing, we walked over, I had to guide her, if I did not know any better I'd say she was super drunk. So I dropped her off on the couch that was randomly in the hallway, and went to Andrei. There was no way that we were goign to give her any coffee, so we talked and hoped that she'd fall asleep. No luck, she came and knocked on the door.

After much arguing, she agreed she needed to go to bed. I guided her back to her room. When we got to her room, I went to open the door, she immediately fell to the floor and couldnt get up... So she had to crawl back into her room, since I couldn't pick her up. Finally after many calls/texts, John Hinke came and help us, he lifeguarded Jenny to her bed, and put her on her bed.

By that time Jenny was really bad, hadno energy and had the chills, it was as if she was having seisures...
