Last Friday some friends and I went to the Oval down by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.   The Oval is a space where the community can gather and have some fun!  All of the events are free to go to and there's a lot to do down there.  They have a beer garden, yard games and a small mini golf course!  The night that we went was for a screening of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie/ pizza party!! And strangely, Macaulay Culkin's cover band The Pizza Underground was playing a special show as well! Here are a few photos from a fun night! The sizable crowd!!! "I've always liked, 'cowabunga!'" Hope to head over there again and have some more fun! -Kristina

The week I started I was able to experience the madness of a sample sale, a charming cheese party and the joy of summer hours in which we get to leave at 12:30 on Fridays! It's an interesting adjustment being back in the city, but things have been going pretty well so far.  I just only hope that I will be settled in the next week or so and use to a new routine.  The other great thing about being back here is having a handful of my friends close by. I'm currently working with 3 girls that I graduated with and the last two weeks I was staying with my two best friends.  There are still many people that I need to see before the summer is over but I'm just getting started! ...

As you already know, I was in Philadelphia last weekend for an internship interview and to see a few good friends along the way. I left my house in New Hampshire around 7am to try and be a little ahead of traffic.  It helped but not by much!  Massachusetts had most of the traffic but I got caught in a jam for about 30 minutes or so when I was going through Connecticut.  It's like the road work never ends!  After about 4ish hours in the car I made my pit stop in Nyack, New York and met up with this lovely lady: That was us back in 2010 in the same area and you can count on it that we went back to both those places while I was in town.  I did take a picture of us while I was there but it turned out to be a little too derpy. I'm saving us both from the embarrassment! We got pizza, took a walk down to the water, had girl talk and checked out a few different shops while we had some time.  The time passed too quickly and it bummed me out that I had ...
