Working: My new internship in DC has been a blessing–not only is it paid and worth 3 school credits, but I am enjoying meeting new people and learning PR skills that will serve me when I get out of school.
Music: leon fleisher’s rendition of the Nocturne in D-Flat Major (Op. 27, No. 2) is amazing…I have been listening to it at work these past two weeks. even if you don’t like classical music, just try listening to this mellow, peaceful music and you will be a convert.
Eating: Stella’s bakery on rockville pike w/ Mom yesterday was so wonderful…we each got a decaf cap made w/ Illi espresso and then we split these 4, tiny treats: a pistachio biscotti, baklava, a sugar cookie, and an ameretto Italian almond cookie. 
Reading: it is 800 pages, (I’m only around pg. 100!) set in the early 1800’s in England, and involves sophisticated characters, magic, and the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars.
