LOST!

Today started out great. I got up early (well, early considering I don't have work yet) and went to the gym. It's surprisingly really nice! You can tell some of the equipment is kind of old, but the place is huge. Living with EHS for the summer, everyone can get a free membership for their time here, so that makes it even better!

Eastern Athletic Club

After that, I got all ready and embarked on my first solo subway journey. I made it safely to Ogilvy around 1:00 to meet with some of the other interns. Everyone was SO SO nice. We got lunch at a little place down the street and Armaan and Sandy acted as our tour guides for the rest of the afternoon. We went to SoHo, walked around, went to Top Shop (which was super expensive for my taste), then stopped at a little carnival-type game and tried to win some big bucks. The only thing we walked away with was this bit of advice about the number card in the game, "It's like a dress... It's what's underneath that counts!" Then we went to a place called Gatsby's where Armaan so graciously bought a round of drinks (thankss!).

First drink in the city!

At this point, things started to get a little rocky. I decided to head home when we left Gatsby's, so after getting directions from a guy that worked there, I thought I was all set. My fellow interns pointed me in the right direction, and after getting sidetracked in a store (and buying a cute dress) I was on my way. I never found the subway stop near Canal Street that the guy at Gatsby's mentioned, so I ended up asking like 3 random people how to get home, all of whom gave me different, and WRONG, directions. After numerous men asked me if I wanted to buy _______ purses (insert pretty much any designer name), I finally found a guy at some theater who told me to take the A train to Chambers street, then get on the 3 train from there, which finally led me back to my beloved Clark Street.

At least I eventually made it! Some more great news, I can pretty much bypass the walking portion of my commute because Ogilvy has a shuttle from Penn Station! Woo! Also, we're going out tonight, so I'm off to take a nap!
