So we're switching it up! That's kinda how I feel about this week: switched up. Fourth of July really threw things outta wack but it's okay.
On Monday, nothing too crazy happened at the office. It was all fairly standard meetings up until the end of office hours. It was such an uneventful day that it was actually the first time in 7 months I forgot to take a one second video, which I usually do on the daily. I'm still pretty upset about that and I've considered cheating by just adding throwing in a video for that day that didn't actually happen that day, but I haven't decided yet. If I recall correctly, after work, I went over to the Biddle music rooms and just played piano for a little bit; that wouldn't be too hard to replicate just for the essence of it...
Tuesday was a lot more eventful for whatever reason! We had our staff meeting early on in the morning, after which I just made some more phone calls and worked on a new spreadsheet. My project work has actually been accumulating a bit more quickly than I anticipated so my to-do list is actually pretty long now. I'm gonna spend pretty much all of Week 8 making sure I finish everything on it. I've been doing alright thus far crossing off items more quickly than they're added on, but we'll see how that changes next week as both Ben and Olivia are out of the office, meaning I'm going to be the lead housing advocate and housing support. Basically, I have to redesign part of the laptop test again, process a new laptop request, distribute and document fliers, work on calling LIHTC properties, properties Olivia gave me, and DHA waitlist properties, and create a new FPOD spreadsheet.

After work on Tuesday, I went and played soccer with Fran and one of his co-workers at Reality Ministries which was a lot of fun. We then went to North Street for Taco Tuesday, and I got to meet a lot more of Fran's coworkers and the people he works with at Reality, so that was great! To cap off the day, we then watched Argentina vs Brazil in the Copa America, but sadly, Argentina lost. After coming back, we had a meeting on our community event, and that was the day.
Wednesday morning for CEF, we had group massage therapy which was extremely relaxing and much needed! I then had a meeting with Ben on what I need to do while he's gone at Dashi and had legit ramen for the first time in my life, which was nice! The rest of the day was very chill/lowkey and was just more to-do list items until the dinner, which was actually really cool! I really enjoyed getting to talk to the B.N. alums and honestly haven't found a single B.N. yet that isn't doing something interesting or cool. Big legacy to live up to!
Fourth of July was a bit of a bummer because of the rain, not gonna lie. I really wanted to have a grill day outside of Swift but it rained out so we couldn't do that. Most of the day I actually spent on my own because I just needed some alone time. It was very regenerative but also I felt like I wasn't spending my Fourth right since I was alone for most of it. At night, we went to the Bulls' stadium and watched the fireworks, which would've been fun, except there was a massive sign blocking out most of them in front of us.
The weekend as a whole was pretty good. USWNT won the world cup which was super exciting!!!! Megan Rapinoe is the G.O.A.T. no questions asked. Egypt choked in the African Cup, but honestly, I was fine with that with all the scandal the team's been going through recently. I didn't really watch any of their games, I just kinda kept up with the scores. We're also having a game night tonight and it seems like it's ripping us apart!! Monopoly Deal and Resistance are giving me major trust issues!!!! It's really fun though, and I can't wait for next week!
