Well, it's official: I have returned home! It's been weird, but also surprisingly normal, to be back. Among the things I have learned through my travels back is that I do not recommend traveling with multiple checked bags - especially if their combined weights adds up to more than yours. However, I did manage to successfully return with all of my things! I loved seeing my dog S'mores again, ...
A Weekend in CT!
This weekend I had the great opportunity to present at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium with my fellow NYU SURP members, along with students from a number of other summer programs. The weekend started off nicely, with a trip to Spreads Sandwich Shop. A student in my friend's lab had claimed that the sandwich he had at Spreads was "the best sandwich of his [admittedly only ...
A Saturday Filled with Food!
Wowza has it been a crazy week! I'm in my second to last week here in NYC, and my program is attending at a conference in Connecticut this coming weekend, so I've been buzzing around completing experiments, analyzing data (while watching Suits hehe), and trying to put together a powerpoint and poster presentation. Needless to say, it's been busy. (I literally don't think my brain has actually shut ...
A Visit to NYC Part 2: Maman and the Magic of Broadway
I started off the first morning of my weekend with my mother by bringing her to Maman – one of my favorite little coffee shop/bakeries I’ve blogged about before. And how appropriate! Bringing my maman to Maman! (I thought that was cute.) There we enjoyed some chatting and delicious pistachio chocolate croissants, while my mother enjoyed her coffee and I tried an iced rose tea limeade. The ...
A Visit to the City Part 1: Snack Taverna
This weekend my mom came to visit NYC from MN, and what a fabulous time we have had so far! She arrived Friday, and came to my lab to see where and what I've been up to. My experiments had not been cooperating super well time-wise, so while I finished up, my PI graciously gave her a tour of the lab. I finished up before too long, though, in time for us to have a nice dinner. My mom and I both love ...
Boba, Governor’s Island and Brinner!
This past weekend, I had a fantastic and spontaneous adventure with friends to Governor's Island! I also tried true bubble tea - or rather, boba - for the first time! I've had tea before, obviously, and I've even tried jellies (little colorful rectangular ones), but was strongly not a fan (I think it was a texture thing). In any case, I never tried any form of bubble/jelly/pearl after that ...
