The problems with eating at Pax for lunch is that as you leave, you will see these delicious bars by the exit. And you will not be able to resist buying one and chowing down on it. Awful.
And now for a meme that has been going around:
What were you doing ten years ago this month:
I was in my junior year of high school. I remember this spring as being the busiest ever. Studying for the SATs, which I took in March, playing the flute in the school band, orchestra and outside on my own, babysitting for my cousins, and on the track team at the same time. I used to take mini naps for ten minutes at time. Oh, and there was a huge snow storm and school was cancelled for two days, and I got two extra days to write a paper on Hamlet for my English class.
What were you doing eight years ago this month:
I just came back from winter break my freshman year of college. I was pre med. I figured out that I didn't need to take Calculus though because I had AP credit for it. So I dropped my calc class, which was great because the first weekend back from break I slipped on the ice and dislocated my knee and was on crutches for quite a while. And the math department was all the way across campus. I nded up spending as much time in the physical therapy room at the gym as I had in swim practice each day.
What were you doing six years ago this month:
It was the middle of my junior year in college. I had just decided to switch into engineering. And I left to go to London for the spring semester abroad. I had also just dislocated my knee again and had a surgery to repair it in my future when I got back from England (after summer school of course). I love London. I haven't been back since but hope to soon.
What were you doing four years ago this month:
I was finishing up my fifth year of college. I only had to take a few classes since I was only part time my fifth year, and I was working at a geotechnical engineering firm in their environmental services group part time as well. It was a great work experience and helped me realize it wasn't a place I wanted to work. Though I loved the people I worked with. I applied for grad school, though I had no intention of going that year since I wanted to get some more work experience in. I was desperate to get a job in NY. By August I was back in the city.
What were you doing two years ago this month:
I was working for an environmental engineering firm up in White Plains. I was bored out of my mind at my job and I couldn't wait to go to grad school. Sam and I had started dating and we were blissfully happy in a new relationship state.
What are you doing now:
I'm working for a civil and environmental engineering firm doing green design. I love it, though I could stand to work a few less hours. I have been married for six months. I just came back from four months of job training in San Francisco and I am so happy to finally be back in NY, living in Brooklyn, with my husband.
What have you learned from this:
I've known what I want to do for quite a while, but it took me a while to actually get there.
