So I survived my first blizzard in NYC. It was pretty scary out there, but I made it to work. I was the only intern to show up to work on the day of the crazy storm, and my boss was super thrilled and thankful that I showed up. Here's a picture of the beginning of the storm (The building where I work is on the left in this picture):



This weekend, we had some friends from Boston come to visit us. It was a lot of fun! It was pretty crowded in the apartment, but we made it work :). On Saturday night, we went to see "In The Heights" on Broadway. It was a great show. I already saw it about two years ago, but it was fun to see again, and a lot of the cast was different this time. The show now stars Corbin Bleu from "High School Musical".

We also went to the MOMA (Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art). Here are some pictures:











We also did a bunch of NYC exploring this weekend. We went to Times Square, The Village, Central Park, and the Upper East Side (around our apartment).


We found a little diner-style restaurant by our apartment, "Midnight Express", and decided to eat there three times this weekend :). The food is cheap (for NYC that is) and it's open 24 hours!




Us there Day 2:


Day 3:


The weekend was super fun, even though I was exhausted after, and Ben and I had to spend a couple hours cleaning the apartment! Yikes!

Overall, I am loving New York City so far. It is making me even more eager to get out into the "real world", and it will be sad when I have to go back to classes in July...Boo! But I still need to keep living up every moment while I'm here to truly make the most of it. I am starting to get into the swing of things now. I feel really comfortable with my job at ET/The Insider, as well as with the people there. I am loving my apartment and my roommate. I love the general feel of the city and even the neighborhood I live in. I am starting to get better at cooking. I am doing a great job of keeping my apartment neat (Those of you who have seen my room at home on a typical day know how big of a deal that is!) I really love it and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be here!

Love,
Katie
