Fun With My Loves, New Job

Well, I haven't done a real post in a long while. But I do have lots to say, and I'm excited about it!!

The week before last, Kim, Andrew, Raj, and Raj's friend Navin made the trek up to New Haven to come see me! We ate at the famous Pepe's Pizza and chilled in Wooster Square. I got a lot of valuable advice and information from Navin. Raj also gave some good info on mutual funds, yay!

I started classes last week. I'm taking industrial relations and multicultural issues in the workplace right now. I think that i'm going to LOVE Multicultural Issues:)

I also had an amazing weekend! On Friday, I took the train to NYC to go salsa dancing with Kim and Andrew! Then, we met up with Navin and Raj and had dinner at Matador's. Navin says that they have the best tapas in the city! They were quite tasty, hehe. It was a good night, despite the train drama I had (see my post below).

On Saturday morning, I had an amazing hot stone massage. It just feels so good. The stones, when they're first rubbed against the body, are so very hot and smooth, but then you adjust to it. The lady gave me a fully body massage, something that I also had never had! She massaged me as I was on my stomach and back. And she massaged everything, I was so scared that I might get squeamish when she got to the inner thigh. I mean, it was basically everything except for private parts. I had never felt so pampered.

Afterwards, I went to Tara's I/O Party. The first years are pretty cool! I've also realized how much the program has grown on me. Yay.

Sunday, I went to the city to meet lovely Jamie! We ate tasty lunch, and then attempted to see the new hilary duff movie. However, we didn't realize that hilary duff's movie was soo bad that it was officially banned from manhattan. Poor child, with horse teeth.

We proceeded to go to Magnolia Bakery to get cupcakes and cherries jubilee/shortcake. We ended up meeting up with patrick too! So after eating our scrumptious desserts, we did some shopping, saw Marc Jacobs in the nude (it's for a fundraiser!). We also saw 2 drag queens. One had a 5:00 shadow, LOL. It was hilarious. It was so funny when I saw the second one. It was in a store, and I wasn't expecting *her* to be a *HE*. We also made homecoming plans, and we have the best idea ever. seriously. You all will poo your pants if you ever hear about it.

Today was my very first day at Morgan Stanley! I don't know, I think that I'm just a really optimistic, happy person. I always am excited, wherever I go. But honestly, Morgan Stanley is like adult workers' playland! I mean, yes, I got a TON of work to do on my first day, but the facilities, the people are so amazing that it's worth it. I would work 12 hour work days for it all. There's another AKA in the office, yay!!! Every person that I've met is so friendly and wonderful. The site has a cafeteria with Starbucks, Au Bon Pain, Sushi. There's fitness classes, including yoga and pilates every day. There's a concierge, dry cleaning, etc there. The place is absolutely amazing, and the company is so generous to all of its hard working employees. They were impressed about me going to W&M and getting my MA, too. I'm impressed by everyone's achievements, work ethic and personality. I'm really excited about it all, today was absolutely amazing! But it's funny, because I'm already at the top company and my dream company at the age of 22. Where else do I go in life???? LOL. Joking, I still have a LONG way to go. But I know that it's because I am favored, just as all of my friends are. We've all had soooo much success in our lives. And I believe that faithful servants are blessed, and you only reap what you sow. I use the abilities that have been given to me to the fullest, and it shows. I also have a lot of cheerleaders, and that helps! Yay for Amaka, Jamie, Kim, and Mimi!!!

I love my sappy posts. Haha.
