My weekend stories start on Wednesday night, when I went to go pick up my sister from college for her mini fall break! I hadn't seen her since I moved her in, in August, so this was the longest we had ever been apart!! We spent a lot of time catching up on Wednesday night and Thursday.
And now for the big weekend...
Friday morning my alarm was set for 6:45 am. I was heading to the city to shadow at the Google offices! I was participating in an alumni shadow program through my school, and my host was an Account Manager at Google! As soon as I found out I started Googling everything I needed to know about Google. Needless to say I was getting very excited. When I got to the offices I was not disappointed. They were as cool as I thought they would be. My host was incredibly nice. Not only did she tell me so much about Google and its history, but she also talked to me about the job search process, which I was grateful for. A day at Google would not be complete without eating in one of their many cafeterias! Lunch was so yummy. I even had to splurge on some dessert. My day was at Google was incredible, and gets me excited for the possibilities of where I could possibly work one day!
Next stop in my day? Heading downtown to meet one of my besties Nicole. I hailed my own cab for the first time! Its exhilarating. Nicole interns at Kelly and Michael, so she was also going to meet me downtown. (Isn't that so cool!?) We met at Nicole's dad's house and he drove us down to ATLANTIC CITY!! We were going down for one of our best friend's 21st birthdays. She was the last of the group to turn 21 and it was the first time most of us were going to AC when we were finally legal!
We were staying at Revel, so as soon as we got there we went and checked in and went to our room while we waited for the rest of our group. Once we were all there we got ready for dinner and headed to Lugo, a nice italian restaurant. Of course we had to order champagne at dinner! After dinner we played some machines and then went back to the room to get ready in our little black dresses for the rest of the night. We were going out to HQ night club, so we had to dress to impress. It was a full night of dancing and having fun with my best girl friends. It was a late night, but so worth it!
The next day we slept in and then strolled downstairs for breakfast at the SkyCafe. I had a nice Belgium waffle (yum!). After we played a few more machines (I won $45!!) and then went and grabbed our bags and headed out. It was such a fun trip!!
When I came home it was time for more catching up with my sister. She was leaving Sunday morning so I wanted to spend as much time with her as I could. I drove up with my parents on Sunday to drive her back to school which was also nice. We ate at a diner and I got a GREAT wrap. It was so yummy.
It was a crazy weekend but so much fun! I traveled so much but it is always nice to plug my iPod in and relax. Now I'm back at school and ready for a few crazy weeks I have ahead of me! All filled with exciting things.
How was your weekend? Anything exciting coming up?
