Wrapping up but not winding down...

As I near the end of my time in this (unbelievable and fabulous) city, I would say that while a couple of projects are being wrapped up, nothing is quite winding down - which I appreciate, since it's the constant busy-ness of everything that makes this place and these internships exciting. Last week, the study abroad section of the Spoon website finally began to come to life, after weeks of surveying, collecting survey results and generating interactive google maps. While it is still far from complete, we now have a template for what it will actually look like on the website and have unified all of our info for various countries to match it.

Spoon U's upcoming Brainfood conference is also coming together, with several great speakers lined up, including the Creative Director of Fortune Magazine, Brandon Kavulla, the founder of Baked by Melissa cupcakes, Melissa herself and the Associate Food Editor at BuzzFeed, Rachel Sanders just to name a few. There will also be an incredible variety of free food samples including Sweetgreen salads, 16 Handles fro-yo and doughnuts from Doughnut Plant.  I still can't get over the fact that with just a concerted effort amongst Sarah and Mackenzie, Nathaniel (Spoon's new business director) and the interns, we all managed to gather such an eclectic group of speakers and food samples for the conference guests. I'm so sad that I won't be able to attend the conference next weekend (since I leave on Thursday) to see the fruit of our labor.
