the best reunion yet :)

This weekend I was reunited with the love of my life after more than seven months apart — the longest we’ve gone without seeing each other since we met three years ago. Warning: sappy outpouring of love to follow.

tourist/host ~fusion~

As I mentioned in the blog post before this, my dear friend Zach extended his layover in NYC to stay with Ellie and me for two nights. It was a super-packed couple of days catching up and exploring the city together. I’m realizing that this summer I have perpetually been a tourist/host hybrid.

Julian Robertson himself

Today I met with the man who is financially responsible for my entire college experience: Julian Robertson himself. I was a little nervous because I felt vaguely like I needed to somehow demonstrate to him in those 30 minutes that I was worthy of the scholarship, but it was actually a very fun conversation. He asked me how the program could be improved. I said by building and strengthening the alumni network — which has been a priority for the program staff for about a year already. I’m actually looking forward to helping with those efforts when I get back to school, by applying for the Robertson Alumni Council and potentially helping with an alumni newsletter.
