So basically

Y'all have been giving updates on your summers and I did not provide you the entertainment you so rightly deserve with stories of my summer. Here's what you need to know:

BEST time of my life working at Simon & Schuster. Best co-workers imaginable, lovely city, and truly good food (scratch what you heard, London and Britain do have tasty plates). I absolutely loved my workweeks at S&S and walking around the city after work. I also loved my weekends when I would hop a train to the countryside or a flight to the highlands (shout-out to the homeland) and spend hours wandering a city or a countryside with "trails"- which I found out were not trails at all but mere suggestions at some points in time...

WORST date of my life. His name was David and he was a cell-biologist from Kensington. I think that's sufficient.

LOVED pretty much everything about my experience in London except for my room that had absolutely no ventilation on the 16th floor. I also loved hanging out with Rachel Piontek, a poli-sci and religious studies major from SMC. I think we can both agree that our very long day at Wimbledon was the best day of our lives.

I have no way of summing up my experience on this blog and it's making me dizzy anyway so we'll talk later about my time in WC1X 8HB.
That's me in the editorial library at S&S. Photo credit- Rory Scarfe. All I have to say is that when he took my pictures he always said "ehh" and squished his face around. He was of course very kind when he said it wasn't that I took a bad picture, but that he is a bad photographer. Thanks, Rory, my self-esteem is sky high.
