Has been really great. I'm using a huge data set and learning lots of Stata code from the RA who's a total pro at it. The downside is, the computers at work are really slow, so it often takes awhile for the code to run. Sometimes it takes so long, that, combined with the tendency of data analysis to take three times as long as you had planned for it to, it ruins my plans and requires my attention past my usual hours of 9am-6pm. On Wednesday, I stayed until almost 8pm, missing my happy hour plans with another intern and making others wait for me. But at times like that, I just remind myself, at least I'm not doing i-banking.
On Thursday, my department had their annual summer party/BBQ and it was delicious. Yesterday was another great food day - I snagged some leftovers from the BBQ for lunch and my boss bought us cookies. After work, I went to jazz in the garden with again, and this time, I made the wise decision to partake in the sangria consumption and was reminded of how great (read: effective) it is to have wine before dinner. We went to dinner at an extremely authentic Chinese restaurant that boasted $8.95 dinner specials and I had my first sake bomb (or three).
After dinner, we went to a few clubs and I crashed at my friend's house in the city, unwilling to try to repeat last week's Friday night commute adventure with a starting time of 2am rather than midnight.
Today, I went to the Hirshhorn - the modern art museum that is shaped like a doughnut. It was great as usual.
After the museum, I tried frozen custard, an ice-cream-like delicacy that's a bit creamier but also melts faster. I was being peer-pressured to go to a famous chili place with others, but I resisted, went home, and made real food for myself for the first time since about a week ago. This installment is Greek-themed. Without the feta.
