Second week in the books

-

Two weeks in! It is definitely weird how quiet and empty the building is but I am more settled into my office and have successfully navigate the building 4/5 times!





There are still some little edits that will happen on going, like adding some more lights and leveling some pieces of art! But I am much more of the mindset of this is my space when I see it then when I first saw it two weeks ago. 

First years arrive on Thursday so outside of some onboarding tasks, I have been settling in and doing student outreach and connecting with partner offices. 

Outside of work, I have been reading a fair amount, connecting with friends from school and exploring. Last weekend, I caught the tail end of the music festival, explored around the Steel Stacks, and stumbled into the National Museum of Industrial history








. 


This weekend, I went to a local park and explored around there and down town Bethlehem. I was hoping to end up at the local plant store but they are on vacation right now, so we will try again next weekend. I also put up some more decorations and organized a little bit. 





Best wishes for the week ahead, 
me

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
