Last Thursday I tried out wheel pottery for the first time :-) It was tough for sure, but it was also fun, and it'll be interesting to see how I progress over the other 6 classes. I can definitely be someone who gets discouraged by being a beginner. So it's good there will be other classes to force me to keep at it.
Otherwise, I've just been doing my thing over here. Over the weekend, I hung out with some of my new friends from work! I like this lab a lot and it's cool that there are people I would actually hang out with after work haha. Since the people there are quite varied in what they do and I guess where they are in life, I don't think I would hang out with all of them like I do with friends per se, but there are a few I could see us getting close. Monday I went to a bar trivia too with one of the same girls and another one. Actually, one of the other new lab techs (we started the same day), went to Smith as well! She just graduated, but it's cool because she gets it. In bar trivia we got 9 out of 13 haha. But too much sport to be fair. Also it was all through phones, which was interesting. Call me old fashioned but the pen and paper situation reigns supreme.
I'll just show some pictures now :) I feel like it sums up what all went on for me this week.
On Saturday before I saw my friends, Mary (and later Zach) and I went around town scouting out freebies. [pic above of us setting out and me monkeying around on the empty subway] There's this Instagram account that posts all about when there will be free things around New York. It's usually food but there have been fun things like skincare.
We ended up going too late for most things (it was still in the window the companies said they'd have the stuff but ya know it runs out), but it was still fun to explore and try. Looking back on these pictures is fun because wow! we actually did go a lot of places.
Since I'm getting more into coffee this year, I'm for once all for the pumpkin drinkies at Starbucks. This one was a big disappointment for me >:( I am not a cold brew girlie at all I found. At least I know now though.
Gotta work early so time to hit the hay! Hope everyone is hanging in there <3
And it’s crazy cuz Aboni ordered the pumpkin spice cold brew and she said it was really good 😳
Yeah you are doing so much, I love to see! Also I didn’t know you had arm strength :00 And the free thing sounds fun! It def sounds like the “journey is better the destination” kind of thing. And I’m glad you’re getting along with your coworkers! Work is always better with good work mates :D
ahhh such a nice week...i gotta get on your level :p
