Pit and Peak: week of 8.26.13

Ahhhh okay I haven't posted in FOREVER - this weekend has been crazy! But I have a lot to write about for the next few days so WOO! I like JUST remembered that I had to pay my rent so I scrambled out of bed to set up that account since it's my first time paying it in this building. I thought that I might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone and post my pit and peak right now, too! (Sidenote: I usually like to do this on Sundays but I haven't had any time today because I've been trying hard to entertain my friend who is in from out of town.)

Without further adieu, here's my pit and peak for this past week!

Pit: The pit of my week is probably the fact that I am not so happy with my "best friend" right now (the air quotes are there for a reason). He has ditched me TWICE 2 weeks ago, and we didn't talk at all last week. Our last conversation was him ditching me for the second time. UGH, I thought girls were supposed to be the dramatic ones! He hasn't even apologized or anything for it. Or made any effort to talk to me about it because he knows I was upset. And I am not reaching out to him first. Very disappointed. I am pretty sad about that.

Peak: The peak of my week was hanging out with my best friends that have finallyyyyy all moved here (And my friend that's visiting is in that group too)! Oh my goodness this past weekend was so so SO much fun being partially reunited. It was a crazy weekend and I am so sad that it is over. More fun times to come for sure though now that all the NYC crew is here! :) We did some things that I def need to post about because I had no idea those things excited in this city. A very fun weekend with some of my favorite people. Really doesn't get any better than that.

Okay, I will be so much better at posting starting tomorrow - so many cool NYC things to write about! Hope everyone gets to sleep in tomorrow in honor of Labor Day. I need this break so bad and am going to try to take full advantage of the laziness it encourages :)

(PS - I promise I will respond to comments I got this weekend tomorrow! You guys are the best.)

Pit and Peak: week of 8.5.13

Week 2 of this tradition!

I cannot believe it was a week ago that I did this for the first time! It's time for the pit and peak of my past week.

Pit: The pit of my week was definitely having that terrible encounter with my ex-soon-to-be-roommate - Ellen's - boyfriend. You can read about the incident here, but that definitely was my low-point for the week. I hate when people are mad at me! And I had being put into terrible situations. UGH. Still bothered but def not as much as I was right after the fact.

Peak: OBVIOUSLY the peak of my week was finding an apartment!!! Ahhh I had been waiting for so long and it makes me so relieved that everything came together. And that the place is basically a palace. UNBELIEVABLE! Supposedly the other girl moves out in a little over a week, so then I am definitely starting to move my stuff into my new place! YAYAYAYAY

Okay, onto the next week! :) Hopefully this one will be much less dramatic.

Pit and Peak: week of 7.29.13

What a perfect photo!

I saw this in a movie (of course now that I'm writing a post on it I'm completely drawing a blank as to what movie it was). Every night at dinner, the family would share the pit (low-point) and peak (high-point) of their day. I have decided to reflect and do this every Sunday night for the previous week. Yes, I know that weeks start on Sunday technically, but I feel like in the real world they start on Mondays because that's when the work week starts and everything is insane!

Pit: The pit of my week was definitely apartment hunting. It's not a specific event, it just has been weighing down on me and I'm starting to get concerned. My roommate is in Chicago right now for training and literally has been the least responsive person ever. It's frustrating me. Idk, tonight I started going on Craigslist and looking for rooms that way - it's a lot easier than brokers and I can meet with the people after work when I am available. We will see what happens...

Peak: The peak of my week I'd say was I think the check-in meeting I had with the HR department of my company. It went REALLYYY well and made me so much more excited about the company I work at! It's awesome to find a place where everyone is so nice and is genuinely looking out for you. :)

Okay, that's all for this post! I guess we will see if I keep doing this in the future!

On to the next week...
