Last days...

Yesterday was the last day at work. i got to go in late, and the atmosphere at work was so relaxed, cuz it was the weekend, and people wanted the weekend to start as soon as possible. my editor took me out and treated me to a sushi lunch, which was so nice of her :) we got to talking, and i must say, i'm actually gonna miss working with her and everyone else. i thought i'd be jumping for joy on my last day of work, but i was actually kinda sad and not ready to leave. at all. but we did say our goodbyes...
i'll probably keep in contact with them though, so i have a network of people to reach out to if i want to work here in the future. (which i really want to)
i wrote out a list of stuff i've been doing in the office, so the next intern can know what to do. and my editor was like, please don't leave! haha. i have to, but it's been great :)

We went to a PR event after work, and got to see exclusive previews of products from all kinds of brand names that will only be launched in the fall. and i got to TAKE SOME OF THEM WITH ME!



Laura Mercier almond coconut milk body creme (it smells soooo good), Godiva chocolates (we got to sample some there, and bring some back. yum), Cookie smelling shower gel from Philosophy (makes me wanna eat cookies), and perfume/lotion from Philosophy's amazing grace. oh and also perfume from Memoire Liquide, this cute brand that lets you custom-make your scent. it smells SO good.
i love philosophy. they had an entire room of philosophy stuff for the christmas holidays, and it was all sooo pretty :)

the event was so fun. a girl came to take us around to see all the beauty products like makeup, perfume, body lotion... then we went to the fashion section, with clothes galore from all kinds of brands, then to the lifestyle section with all kinds of gadgets and cool stuff. the place was SO pink. pink candy, which i took some of, pink cupcakes and cakes...oh it was so cute. and they had an entire bar filled with free drinks too. i so wanna work here!

Graduation ceremony

We had our Dreamer graduation ceremony last night... it was really sad, seeing all 100+ of us all together again for the last time :(
Kaz, our program director (he's awesome) gave one last speech and told us to go forth and pursue our dreams! they played a slideshow filled with photo memories of our time here, and it was nostalgic. we got a free book filled with inspiring words, and then we appreciated the staff members and got in a circle to toast to an awesome summer in NYC :)

And then i did my laundry and accidentally put in a pink shirt with my other white-ish stuff (like sheets) and now everything is pink-ish/stained with splotches of pink. sigh.

I hate packing. and of course, since i'm leaving tomorrow, my period unsurprisingly has to come now. lovely.
