So I’ve been busy as a bee, if you couldn’t see

I haven’t written here in a while and I decided to write about things I did in the past month of July. (–Though I should be studying for my final that is tomorrow morning!)

Dewey’s 24th birthday ended the month of June, he turned 24 on the 24th, in which we ate at our favorite pizza place, Grimaldi’s (in Douglaston) and was taken out to a Met’s game by his best friend and best friend’s girl friend.

July 1st was pretty nice, the people I intern for at the Department of Environmental Protection wanted to treat me to something for my upcoming birthday so they took me out on a trip in the field to City Island. City Island is a small island off of the Bronx and we were out their for a project involving the bridge that connects the two land masses.

July 5th, my actually brithday (turned 23), Dewey had the day off — most everyone did because it was the Fourth of July observed. I had work in the morning but it was pretty fun. Afterwards Dewey picked me up (after he had bought my present that morning) and we went to Grimaldi’s again, but this time at my favorite location — Brooklyn. We also spent some time at the Brooklyn Promenade which is my favorite place in the city.

Part of my birthday present from Dewey was tickets to see Weezer down at the Williamsburg, Brooklyn Waterfront, which we did on July 16th. It was a really fun concert (all outdoors) and they played a great set list. They did a really cool song mix/mash-up where they played MGMT’s ‘Kids’ and went into Lady Gaga’s ‘Pokerface’. It was funny and Rivers Cuomo wore a blonde Lady Gaga wig!

Other things I did in July include going to the pool, going to friend’s and family’s housewarming parties, seeing Toy Story 3, seeing Strawberry Fields perform a Long Island summer concert, painting my dad’s house, hanging out with friends, and getting into yoga.

I’ve also been enduring an Urban Processes class this month which is almost over — my final is tomorrow! It’s time for me to go back to studying. So far summer has been pretty fun, no real vacations but doing things around the city is still a lot of fun. I’ll update about August and The July Edition soon!
