GRACE F&CKIN' KELLY!!!!!!!

Pardon my French.... and pardon my inexcusable absence. It's been a whirlwind of a semester!

Last month, my friends & I flew over to Boston to attend the Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business Conference. The timing of it couldn't be more perfect as it was during the weekend of fall break & Remembrance day! WHAT A TRIP! some highlights:

- Anthony's Townhouse = sketch.
- Some of the speakers on the panels that I got to listen to: CEO of Disney Anne Sweeney, President of Magnolia Bakery Bobbie Lloyd Petracca, Zulema Griffin (from Project Runway), & President/CEO of SweetRiot Sarah Endline -- LEGIT!
- stumbled upon a Johnny Cupcake store, and met JOHNNY CUPCAKE himself!
- "Haaaaaahvaahhhd"
- Scorpion Bowls -- anyone who goes to Boston needs to go to this place called "Hong Kong" & have one of their infamous Scorpion Bowls.
- clam chowda
- UNO snack hours
- partying with the locals
- Fenway Park
- Hyatt's free breakfast!!?!?!?!?!?!.... FREE????
- FALL LEAVES!! (beautiful fall season there. it's legit, too. Unlike quasi-2-week "fall" here)

On the second last day of our trip, my friend and I also had a chance to visit her friend who lives in Providence. He gave us a tour of Brown campus, which is absolutely GORGEOUS. It looks like the story-book ivy league typical college experience. The running joke was that I was going to Providence to stalk Emma Watson... little did I know....

Before heading to Brown, we grabbed some lunch, bought hoodies, and candy to bring back home with us. Incidentally, when we started walking towards campus, class had just ended and so I had a chance to oogle at everyone's cute fall outfits. Then, we crossed the street and walked through this tunnel of some sort and in the distance a petite Hermione-looking blonde girl walking and talking............. could it be?... was it actually?... no...it couldn't be............ HOLY SH&T! My eyes went real big and couldn't help but gawk at Emma Watson walking right past me (with a tall lanky male friend) -- OMFG. IT WAS MEANT TO BE!!! I didn't get a picture because it all happened so quickly and I was caught completely off guard. My friend's friend (who was showing us around campus) had told me not to get my hopes up because people who've been going to school there for 4 months have never even seen her before and he had only seen her twice. She's so naturally pretty in person (even if she always look like she's scowling). Hair tied back, dress, tights, and a blue scarf. We made eye contact, but it might've just been because we looked like goons trying not make a scene hahaha.

But anyways, NBD, I saw Emma Watson & now my life is complete.
