So the last time I wrote, it was July 1st...Today it is August 19th...The longest time that I have spent without blogging...so where to begin?
The first thing that I need to mention is just how incredibly fast time has flown by this summer. On Friday, I finished my first Summer internship at Morgan Stanley...9 weeks...GONE...like they did not even exist.
Looking back on things, this summer has been really enjoyable from tons of perspectives for me. I got a chance to see what a working summer in London is like...and ask myself...Could I really live here?
I think the answer is a resounding yes...Despite some of the worst weather in history, I still found the city to be charming when it had to be...I always had things to do...and Europe was still right around the corner...I met new friends, some of which I am confident I will know for years to come...I saw friends get married...and others have children...I guess when I stopped to look around, I realized that everyone kept moving at a very fast pace...and I had to keep up...
In terms of highlights...I would have to say that I just tried to do the same things I have been doing all year round...but in no particular order...
Pearl Jam, Orlando Bloom's In Celebration in the West End, England vs. France at Twickenham Stadium (MY FIRST RUGBY MATCH!), Arsenal vs. Inter Milan (My Long Awaited return to the Emirates and to Premier League football), LIVE EARTH, The RaceWay (Formula 1 Go-Karting at 50MPH!), Walthamstow Stadium (My first trip to see dog racing)...and last but not least, my first London country club golf experience...It was AWESOME...
But honestly...I just think the best times also sneak up on you...Like going to Maheki with two of my close friends and having the time of my life...or introducing my favorite KeBab shop to people from San Francisco, Alabama, and New York...or going to Shabbas dinner (MY FIRST ONE IN A YEAR!) and meeting new people and really seeing how warm people can be...
I have five more weeks to enjoy London before I am off to Kellogg and another new adventure...where I know I will meet more people and see more fascinating things...I guess really need to decide where I want my future to be...but luckily I have a few more more months...
Anyway...I will keep this entry short and sweet...enjoy the pictures...
