“I can’t remember all the times I told myself to hold on to these moments as they pass.” - Counting Crows

Today was a day full of work and other stuff. We had meetings and I had lots of editing and other to do.

So buttery

The meeting ran very long and so by the end of it, I just needed a break and went for a nice long walk. Very long walk. I went all the way to Bryant park and saw so many people sitting, enjoying their lunches, listening to piano and I even saw a knitting club.

Seriously, Bryant Park is definitely my favourite park in New York.

I walked back to work and did a little bit of reframing and editing. Seriously, it was a pretty dead day at work. Nothing really important happened.

I headed out for my own personal networking meeting really quick and then ran back to work (crying while I ran because I was wearing heels).

As I was finishing up work at the end of the day, my boss came in and told us we were all leaving the UN to go for drinks...

..So we did.

Empire state <3

We headed over to a French restaurant up the street and it was quite lovely. We had sangria, escargot, Croque-monsieur, salmon and tuna tar tar, foie gras and it was simply delicious. It was to celebrate a co-worker's birthday as well as to have a happy belated 14th of July (Bastille day as we call it).

After the lovely dinner, I headed over to my friend's rooftop where we said goodbye to one of the longest staying interns here. It was beautiful as we talked and enjoyed with the background of the Empire State Building.
