I don't think we have ever been busier... The summer was fun, but we are happy to be back in Provo. Javier and I came back to our jobs at the Museum of Paleontology, but we also got other jobs! Javier got an internship at an outsourcing company in the HR department (SO proud) and I got a job as the Taiwan Paid Program Representative at ILP! It's been busy, but nice having jobs that we really enjoy.
In remembrance of the summer, here is the post that I started a while back, but never finished because I didn't have any of the pictures...
"I don't think there's a jungle around with as many monkeys as there are people in Manhattan. Even though all it seemed we did was eat and walk, it was like living in a movie. We saw Times Square, the Seinfeld Diner, the bar that Maclaren's was based off of (How I Met Your Mother), Broadway theatre, the Hershey and M&M stores, and Central Park. We ate NYC pizza, hot dogs on the street, and ice cream from a truck. We rode in a taxi, and on a train. We watched people ride bikes, people giving people rides on bikes, and people riding in horse drawn carriages. We saw people dressed up like movie characters and weird statues of liberty and... flags :P.
Newark is different. Just a tad. (; That's where we stayed the night. Our hotel was called the Riviera-a 100 year old building. Some of it was cool old! Like the 100 year old key holder, and original entrance/architecture. But most of the old things were just...old. For example: Our elevator was GHETTO to the max. Old buttons and shaky...almost took the stairs. Our room looked like the set of a horror movie, with nasty old white paint, with old burgundy curtains and cracks running all over the walls. And the party from next door seeped through the walls all night. Yum..."
I'll get back on posting all our fun little stories... We both work and go to school a TON, so those fun little stories get lost in all the monotony if I don't keep up with telling them!
