i think i’m the only person at work right now. i arrived at work at around 8:30 a.m. yeah i know, i’m an eager beaver. it’s just because i know that the e train leaves 179th street at 7:35 a.m., and i don’t feel like taking the f and then transferring to the e. usually i end up standing up for the majority of the ride on the e. anyway, i’m sure you guys have no idea what i’m talking about. cici and i have been talking about diets and being healthy. did you guys know that a 30 minute workout at 6 intensity approximately burns 272 calories? that’s equivalent to 1/2 cup of haagen-dazs ice cream, or 1 (2 oz.) croissant, or 1 strawberry kiwi snapple. isn’t that kind of discouraging? i also read in the atkins book that gardening for 30 minutes burns 215 calories! all this time i’ve been running my butt off the treadmill. grr. i guess it’s good for my heart. hopefully this will make me healthier and not have heart disease at such an early age. ok enough of this dieting babble. i will leave you guys with the usual friday five:
1. How are you planning to spend the summer [winter]?
this summer i am a unpaid intern at a pharmacuutical advertising firm in nyc.
2. What was your first summer job?
hrmm, i think i was a camp counselor at my school district’s day camp. that’s when i learned that i could never succeed as a teacher.
3. If you could go anywhere this summer [winter], where would you go?
well, i really wanted to go to taiwan before this whols sars thing. this summer i want to go to europe. i’ve never been there. maybe i can go this winter. 
4. What was your worst vacation ever?
hrm. most of my vacations were pretty good. my friends had bad luck when we went to california like 2 years ago. it was freezing and overcast the whole week we were there. i don’t know if that qualifies as the “worse” vacation ever. i’ll have to get back to you guys on that!
5. What was your best vacation ever?
oh geez, here’s another toughie. i really liked all the cruises my family took in the caribbean. we got to see the mayan ruins, traverse these waterfalls in jamaica, go scuba diving, ride horses in the banana fields, and all sorts of things. it was really exciting. 
ok well, i guess i should go pretend to look busy. tgif!! <3
