Irene was a bust. Everything is fine in my neck of the woods, just lots of rain and some strong wind gusts. We didn't lose power, and we slept right through it last night! Although there are places outside of Philly that look like this:

I will say that I haven't gone down the street to check on my car yet, so fingers crossed that it wasn't smashed by a tree.
This weekend in allowed me to more or less finish up my room, a project which has been going on for what feels like 5 years. Here it is!

Check out that wallpaper! Also, sorry I look so weird in this.
1. The other day, I took a wrong turn and realized a bit too late that I was crossing the bridge into Camden, NJ - not too sure how that happened, but it was not my finest hour. Then I had to pay a toll to get back across the bridge. Later, I started to pay for something in cash and remembered I'd spent my last five dollars getting out of New Jersey. My mom said that should be the title of my memoirs.
2. I've spent the last couple of weeks redoing my room, which was a much bigger ordeal than I originally thought. The icing on the cake was when the box springs I'd ordered didn't fit up the stairs. Oh life! Luckily my mom was here to help me, and it's finally starting to come together. I'll post pictures as soon as I get my mattress off the floor!
3. A bunch of celebrities have visited CHOP since I started in June: Ryan Seacrest, Selena Gomez, Cee Lo Green, Keri Hilson, and Miranda Cosgrove, among others. It's pretty neat that I work at a place that had to send out an email to its employees outlining the protocol for celebrity visits.
