So now that I am officially done with one of my internships and going to end my second tomorrow, I get to look back on the crazy adventures that NYC has led me through. (But more about that later.)

      On August 1st I interviewed my supervisor Jennifer to get background information on City Futures. It was an awesome conversation because I learned more about her position and how she started her career with City Futures. It was great to learn the history of the company and how much it has progressed. Feeling prepared to write my case study… I think. I’ve been trying to keep notes on my projects and experiences so fingers crossed they’re good enough to make the study worthwhile. 

       And now back to the craziness that is called New York City. Yesterday I woke up to a thunderstorm, which apparently was just ending by the time I woke up. I  made my way to the train station parking lot to find that it was completely flooded, which was a clear indication that the rest of the day was going to be pretty rough. (Keep in mind that a few weeks prior I returned home from work to find that my car had a lake inside of it so a flooded parking lot was not something I wanted to deal with twice.) I turned around and went back home then got a ride to the station. Of course I had missed my train and had to take a later one but at that point I knew I would not make it to work at 9:30. Anyway, I got on a later train which took about 2 hours to get to Penn Station (twice the time it normally should). Once I got to Penn Station I heard an announcement that said there weren’t any subways going to or from Penn because the subways were completely flooded. There was absolutely no chance that I was walking to Wall Street, that was just out of the question. Finally, the NR line was running, which I had never been on, but I figured I could find my way (my supervisor helped me out and told me which train to take). I made my way to the NR and waited for about an hour and a half for an R train to come and watched 5 N trains pass by. :( After all of that fun, I made it to work a little after 12 and was congratulated several times for actually making it there. Of course, the rest of the day was gorgeous and there wasn’t a sign of rain when I got home. NY weather and mass transit… gotta love ‘em!
