My summer in NYC is officially over - which I still can't wrap my head around. After 11 weeks in the city, I can truly say I couldn't have imagined a better experience and for that reason, I feel so blessed. I was able to maintain an ideal schedule working at the Observer on Mondays and Wednesdays and at Spoon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with Fridays saved for ballet classes at Steps and seeing friends coming in from out of town. After a great first four weeks with my roommate Sarah, who was interning at the NYU Medical School, I was lucky enough not to be put with a random roommate and basically had a full studio apartment to myself! The extra bed actually came in handy for many of my friends to crash on, while visiting New York for the weekend.
Between meeting an incredible array of talented people in the city, including a great group of interns, (especially the lovely ladies at Spoon) and spending time with friends from college and high school, I can't say I ever really felt lonely in my roommate-less apartment. Although my internships are officially over, there are a few remaining articles that I will be coordinating to have published on the Observer website as well as the Spoon website and during the year, I will be joining the Spoon chapter at Wash U (which was started last fall!)
To be honest, I began this blog as a way to record my experiences for myself, so that I could remember details for reports I have been required to write, in order to receive school credit (for my internship at the Observer). However, soon after I began, I realized it had become much more than that, as I actually enjoyed keeping a running account of my activities and now it offers me an invaluable opportunity to look back on my time in the city (in a totally tangible way). To all who read through my posts, I am flattered that you were interested in my day-to-day reflections and I will miss sharing them with you all!
