Some of the highlights include;
Classes on Monday! I really enjoy my classes:)
I had an interview at the Independence Hall Visitor's Center for event planning but it sounds like it will involve more sales than actual event planning so I have a few more interviews next week.
The Center put on an activity on Identity on Thursday night. A group of actors came in and we ran through some activities and discussed different cultures and our identities. It was fun and they gave us some delicious soft pretzels.
On Friday a group of friends and I visited art galleries in Old City. Every first Friday of the month there are free activities going on in the city. So on Friday all the galleries were open for people to walk in. It was interesting because each art gallery had different types of art; sculpture, paintings, and art made out of random objects. The most interesting gallery we went to was the our last stop. It was Jewish and had art made out of pressed flowers! They were absolutely beautiful flowers. We stayed there for a bit and they announced that they would be having a dinner for anyone who wanted to attend. We decided to stay and they taught us how to wash our hands and say their prayer before dinner. We ate some delicious bread, salad, and chicken while listening to loud songs and pounding on the tables. It was all very amusing and eye opening to learn about another religion and culture.
Friday night was when the snow started to fall...and it didn't stop. Our walk back to our apartment from Old City had us walking through at least a foot of snow!!
We woke up on Saturday morning to over two feet of snow. The news referred to the snow as a war that Philly was up against. The city has no real way to remove the snow because of the number of streets and how close they are to each other. The city isn't the best at snow removal but they sure know how to salt the sidewalks!! We were hit by some salt a few times when walking the streets!
Saturday night Lisa and I went to visit some friends from the Center and the walk involved sliding on slushy, icy sidewalks, climbing mounds of snow and walking through a few streets due to the lack of a path on the sidewalks. It was a real adventure but somehow snow here in the city is a whole lot more fun than snow at home!
Tomorrow we are meeting up with a large group of people from the Center to visit the Art Museum because the first Sunday of every month the art museum is pay what you want. Then in the evening we are going to watch the Super Bowl at a house of friends that live in Old City.
Next week I have two interviews, one on Monday and one on Tuesday! I am hoping to have my internship all figured out very soon!
I hope everyone is doing well:)
