Dylan's :]

I really love my job... 

I don't know what else I could be doing right now...

School begins!!

Argh! It's been too long! 

Let me tell you all about school....

So the new semester started about two weeks ago, and I have been SUPER busy with everything... My classes go a little something like this: 

Criminal Justice: BORING. The teacher is like an ex-lawyer or something, so the class is completely lecture based. All we do is sit in groups and discuss previous Supreme Court cases, and then we share our feelings about it. 

Weapons of the Spirit: Really? My teacher is obsessed with peace, and we are reading Gandhi's autobiography. Enough said. 

Communications Today: The teacher is brand new. She has only been out of college for a year or so. Needless to say, we aren't doing a whole lot in that class except watching movies and going on field trips. Hey! I'm not complaining! :]

Media: My teacher is absolutely insane, in a good way :] She's a lot like me, her mind travels a million miles a minute, and her mouth can't keep up! She's having a baby in four weeks, so from that point on, the whole class will be online. Not complaining about that either! 

Public Speaking: I had this professor last year, and he is known throughout the college for cancelling classes. Our last class was already cancelled... haha. He told us that all of our speeches would be 1-2 minutes, and none of them can be written down. I'm totally fine with that!

So all in all, the new school year has been pretty good to me so far. My work schedule is fitting right in there, and my nights are now dedicated to homework, and watching seasons 1 and 2 of Ugly Betty. I'm totally getting prepared for the new season! SO EXCITED!

Stay cute :]

It's been a LONG time....

I am SO SORRY everyone! 

Our internet has been out for around a week now, and it has been HELL! 

I started school yesterday, all is going well in that department. I will definitely update later with more info... I just wanted to let you all know that I was still alive! :]

PS- I ran in to Blake Lively again. And this time, she was with Penn Badgley! You KNOW I took photos...

LENKA

Hey all-

VERY exciting news! Basically the reason why I haven't updated in so long:

Sony BMG and Epic Records signed a new artist! Her name is Lenka, and she kinda sounds like Regina Spektor, but totallly better. Anyway, they decided to hold her record release party at Dylan's! It was absolutely awesome! 

Our entire third floor was transformed into a music venue, and I got to meet Lenka herself, her entourage, and even the CEO of Epic Records! It was absolutely nuts!! Here are some pictures:

This is her new single, CHECK IT OUT!!

My Apartment

Hey everyone! 

So today wasn't really that eventful. I had to go to work early (around 9 am), so I was naturally irritated when I had to wake up. I ended up going to bed at 3 am because I had been watching "The Devil Wears Prada" in Spanish. I feel like a lot of emotion is lost when movies are translated, but oh well. It was still fierce. I hope to become fluent in Spanish within the next year; it's essential in New York. Maybe I'll buy Rosetta Stone...

It was CRAZY hot/humid here today. I almost stripped down to my underwear on 3rd Ave. because it was 82 degrees with 63% humidity. According to the weather channel, it felt like 90, but according to me, it felt like death. Luckily there was a Starbucks nearby that had the AC cranked to Antarctic conditions. 

Anywho, I know that you are all DYING to finally see pictures of my apartment!!! I've lived here for a little over a month now (although my first rent payment felt like I had owed backed rent for years), and the only person who has seen it is Kristen, when she helped me move in. Bear with me, the pictures were taken in haste because the neighbors were sitting on their stoop and seemed irritated with me (is it illegal to sit on someone else's stoop? If so, I should report them for being creeps). 

my door is on the left!!

... and some of the inside!!

Forgive me for not posting pictures of my actual room. It is a disaster zone in desperate need of professional organization. Don't worry, it will give me something to post tomorrow. And you haven't even seen the rooftop view yet! OH. MY. GOD. I can't wait to post tomorrow =]

Mama Frye's Fabulous 50!

This past Saturday night, I met the second most fabulous woman EVER (the first is obviously my mother =]). My boss ended up throwing a party for her mom's 50th birthday party, and she was worried that it was going to be a disaster. Needless to say, I was there, so the party turned out to be the greatest thing that had ever happened in the Western Hemisphere.

We started the party by sending the rest of the staff home. In case you didn't know what I do, I am a Party Lead for Dylan's Candy Bar: the world's largest candy store! 

After the alcohol started flowing, we dimmed the lights, and things started getting crazy! I believe that at some point during the night, Mama Frye actually produced a couple of Flashdance performances. It was great! 

Me and my boss, Nicole.

My other boss, Therese.

This woman is 50 years old: I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! I didn't think people of that age could be so active! I guess she has been a dancer her whole life, and starts everyday with a kickboxing class. GOD BLESS THIS WOMAN! She is workin' it out well into her 50's!

Speaking of 50's, MY mothers' 52nd birthday is TODAY. Doesn't she look fabulous?!
