Moving on!
Today has been a fantastic day for me. This morning I took some time to meet with a dataset mentor of sorts who gave me some great advice on my future career and grad school decisions. She is a brilliant woman who used to be the CEO of a company I would LOVE to work for someday, and talking to her was so inspiring. She gave me a great list contacts and suggested next steps, and even gave me a hug at the end of our meeting saying that I was, “like family.” Squeeeee!! I am now feeling super excited about my next steps in life and the direction I want to go in, which feels just great!
Plus it’s Friday, so there’s that

Favorite Surprise
cookie
My coworker Claire is such a sweetie and brought me back this (half) cookie from New York last weekend. She was out of the office on Monday, and I helped her out by doing some of her work for her while she was away. To thank me she brought me this delicious buttery sprinkle cookie, which I loved! She is going to California in a few weeks and promised to bring me back and even better one from Katella Deli. She is too sweet! (So is the cookie!)
