Monday at Intuition was a pretty average day. I am racking my brain to remember what I did, which probably means nothing exciting. I kept pretty busy between two scripts Keri needed me to read, so that was good. It's just funny how that works out because I took work with me for my class to work on and I didn't have time to do it and other days I don't take work and I end up not having anything to do all day. The parking garage where I park in was completely flooded from all the rain we got last Sunday, so that was an interesting start to the day. Other than that, not much was really going on.
Tuesday I was the only intern at the office, so I was pretty busy that whole day as well. Keri heard about this Adidas shoe sale happening across the street from our office, so her, Patrick, and I went to check it out. The sale was incredible, brand new Adidas sneakers for $15, 2 for $20. They also had a lot of clothing there too, but by the time we got there everything was pretty much picked over, so none of us got anything. Afterward Keri bought us drinks at Cafe Etc. because we were right there, so that was nice.
Tuesday night was also the first night we had class since Spring Break was over, and we found out we got an extension (one week) on the research paper we thought was due this Tuesday, so that was good because up until that point I hadn't started doing any research for it yet....
Wednesday I worked at The Doctors because someone somewhere along the chain of importance has decided they want the season to wrap before Easter instead of in May, which was what was originally scheduled. Because of this new decision, we are now going to have a bunch of three day weeks to finish in time. At first I didn't care, but by the end of the day on Friday I was completely exhausted and I am not really looking forward to doing it all again this week...
No one exciting was on the show Wednesday, and we wrapped at the perfect time because I have to leave at 4 on Wednesdays to make my work study shift at the Pendelton Center.
That night we went to Millions of Milkshakes because Mia's friend is here for a few days. I was surprised to see they completely redid their menu! They took off a few items (from what I remembered) and added a lot more. Now they supposedly have every single shake ever made by a celeb at any of the Millions of Milkshakes locations available there, but the menu isn't that big so I feel like they are missing a few. Oh well! It was really good, as usual, but the shakes there are so thick they always make me cough a lot while I'm drinking them.
Thursday we had two celebs in back-to-back shows, so it was a pretty busy day for us. Adrienne Maloof, from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, was there with her husband because he is a doctor. I don't watch the show, but a few other people in my department do and they say she is the best one because she stays out of all the stupid drama, so I guess that's pretty cool! The entire Bravo crew was there taping her every move, so all the people that had to talk to them about one thing or another were asked to sign a release. I pretty much stayed away because I have no interest in being on the show, still pretty awesome that I could have been though!
Michael Waltrip, a Nascar driver, was also there talking about the safeties of driving (surprise!). Now living near the Pocono Raceway made me think, "why have I never heard of this guy?" turns out he is no longer racing. But the interesting thing about him is, that he won the race in 2001 that Dale Earnheart was killed during. He was pretty good friends with Dale & Dale Jr. and the three of them were in first, second (Jr.), and third place when the crash happened during the last lap. All I keep thinking is how hard it must have been for Michael to have his name on a trophy for a race that will only be remembered as the race that killed his friend. Didn't get to interact with Michael much, but I did drive his dad back and forth to the parking lot on the golf cart and he was really nice. We talked a lot about Pocono and, surprisingly, Ithaca. It is crazy how many people are interested in what I am doing out here, where I go to school, and what I want to do when I get out. I mean, maybe they are just making conversation, but it is still nice that people ask.
Friday was my boss, Josie's birthday, so we did this thing called "Fun Friday" where everyone brings something to share with the group to munch on throughout the day. No one exciting was on, but it was a pretty easy day so it was a perfect type of day to have all kinds of food.
Friday night we went to see Danny in a comedy show at this place in downtown Burbank called, Flappers Comedy Club. It was a cool little place and most of the comedians were actually funny, so that was good. Danny was the only one, from what I can tell, that was still in school, so it was definitely a good opportunity for him. There were some IC alums there as well so it was nice to see some familiar faces.
Yesterday was the ICLA Volleyball tournament here at the Oakwood, so Ginny and I went to watch part of it. It was really cold and started raining at one point so we decided (after Danny's team lost their second match) that we would go work on our research papers a little at the Pendelton Center. After the tournament was over, there was a cookout (which turned into cold-cuts because of the rain) for everyone so we went back to the clubhouse for that.
At night we had some people over, and I guess between the amount of people that were here and the fact that our sliding door was opened, our "neighbors" complained that we were being too loud, so we got our first noise violation. Apparently all that happens is that we get a warning letter in the mail because it was our first time, so we just have to make sure it doesn't happen again. When in Los Angeles....right? haha
Today I went grocery shopping and I am about to write some more pages for my spec script. I wanted to get to the public library in Burbank today, but that doesn't look like it is going to happen before Tuesday because we have Media Industries tomorrow. Once this paper is out of the way, I need to seriously start thinking about who I am going to interview for the assignment for that class. Next Monday starts the only other Mini-course I signed up for, so it looks like I can kiss my Monday nights goodbye for a little while. Hopefully the class will be as interesting as it seems so it is worth it!
Another thing worth noting is that I have my skype interview to be an Summer Orientation Leader on Wednesday during work. I already asked Josie about it and she said it would be fine for me to stow away in a vacant dressing room for half an hour, so that's good. I'm really nervous about it because I have pretty much banked all my plans for the summer on getting the position AND it is something that I have wanted to do since I went to Orientation myself three years ago. Man, time has certainly flown by since then....
