Practice Commute

So my parents arrived at my place around 7:15 this morning to practice my commute. We boarded the subway with no serious problems. My dad nearly caused a domino effect by crashing into some poor girl when we started moving, but other than that, the ride went smoothly. I get off the subway right in Times Square, then have about a 20-25 minute walk to get to Ogilvy. HopStop.com was pretty dead on in that it takes me about 45 minutes to get to work.

First subway ride... SUCCESS

Times Square

I won't get to go into Ogilvy until Monday for orientation, but the building looked so, so nice. I'm super excited to get started but also a little nervous.

Ogilvy!

We got breakfast at the Market Diner right down the street from the office, then headed back to Brooklyn. After a slightly teary-eyed goodbye (on my mom's part), my parents headed home and I bought some groceries at Gristedes. My roommate, Lauren, and I just hung out in our room and took a nap until 8 when we went downstairs for free pizza... only to find that they bought THREE BOXES of pizza for our WHOLE building. Way to go EHS. We walked around Brooklyn Heights a little bit, went to Chipotle for dinner, and settled in for Real Housewives of New York City. We're determined to spot at least one of the housewives while we're here!

Tomorrow I plan to meet up with some of the other Ogilvy interns for lunch, so that should be fun! Then we're going out for the first time for Lauren's friend's birthday, which should be even MORE fun!

Positives: Nice office building, cute diner down the street
Negatives: Long commute, NO FREE PIZZA!
