Monday was a pretty typical day at Intuition, seems like I say that a lot on here. Guess a development internship just isn't as glamourous as one in production.
That night we had our second class of Media Industries. This time there were only 3 alums on the panel, and 2 out of the 3 now basically work in marketing. Because of this, we had a challenge to complete after they discussed what they have done since graduation. We were supposed to break up into groups of 10 (even though ours had 6) and come up with ideas to market a movie coming out that is based off of the hit game Angry Birds. After 15 minutes of discussion, we had to present out ideas to the panel and they would then select which group's ideas they liked the most. We had a really long list of ideas, some better than others, and a decent presentation. I thought other groups were more creative with their approaches, but I guess the panel liked our ideas more than the others' because they picked us as the winners! Because one of the girls on the panel now does marketing for the Menchies Frozen Yogurt chain, we all won $10 giftcards to Menchies! Yummm!
Tuesday morning I got a text that I didn't need to go into work until 11, but since I was already on my way to Intuition I decided to go to the public library in Burbank to get some print sources for my research paper.
After work, there was a workshop at 6 on the exact requirements of the paper because a lot of people had questions about the details of the assignment, so I left work early to go to that. I was really glad I went because Holly and Steve Tropiano (my advisor out here in LA) handed out a more precise requirement sheet and completely explained the assignment. I realized at the workshop that I needed to narrow down my topic a little, so I was really glad that I went to it.
Wednesday was another production day at The Doctors, but we only had two shows and a couple segments to shoot instead of a third show, so we got out a decent time. I also had my interview for Orientation Leader for this summer during work and it went really well! However, Michele (who is one of my references for the position and ironically was the one to interview me) said that over 100 students applied for the 22 spots and that they receive the most applications from the Park school, so I face the most competition, so we'll see how it goes. I hear back about it this Thursday so atleast I don't have to wait forever to find out!
After work I went back to the public library to pick up a book I ordered and look around for more references, then I went to my workstudy shift at Pendelton. Holly had me come in half an hour early because she had to leave, so I got paid an extra .5 of an hour! I'm rolling in the dough now, hahaha.
That night Ginny, Danny, Mia, her friend Ali (that was visiting for the week), and I went to El Torito for dinner/happy hour for Ali's birthday dinner! I was excited because I thought she was turning 21, turns out she was turning 22 so it wasn't as exciting of a birthday as I thought. She seemed to enjoy herself though, so that's good. The happy hour prices literally couldn't be better I paid $15 for my meal, a glass of wine, and a 1/4 of Ali's meal- doesn't get much better than that!
Thursday Paul Stanley (from the band KISS) was on The Doctors. At first I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but his publicists got there really early and were triple checking to make sure everything was ready for him before he got there so they kind of psyched me out and by the time we were downstairs waiting for his arrival, I was actually nervous! The minute he stepped out of the car, I didn't even have to recognize him to know he was a rockstar. He just has that look about him, I guess that of an aged rockstar...haha. He was on the show talking about how loud rock concerts can damage your ear drums if you don't wear ear plugs, so I thought that was pretty cool. We only had guests for the first two shows, so we got to leave really early!
Also, because Paul's dressing room was on the other side of the hall, I was standing around the Community audio booth (which is also across the hall). Half way through the day, Ken Jeong (who plays Chang on Community and is also in The Hangover) was standing around outside the booth waiting to go inside and I talked to him a little. Then later I saw Joel McHale (who plays Jeff and is also the host of The Soup) leave the audio booth! I was super excited to see him and I wish I was at the other end of the hall so I could have said hi. However, there is still two more weeks of shooting for The Doctors so I could see him again! I don't know if I mentioned this on here already but because of our close location to community I also met Chevy Chase (who plays Pierce) minutes before he literally walked out onto our stage in the middle of a taping because he "loves The Doctors," and saw Danny Pudi (who plays Abed) and Alison Brie (who plays Annie and is also on Mad Men) at their trailers when the show was still filming. I guess this list of people would be more exciting if I actually watched Community, I should get on that!
Thursday was also the day I hit 360 credit hours, so aside from my internship log I don't technically need to work anymore, even though I will because I am not about to quit either internship.

Friday there were no guest on the A show so I got to sleep in (until 7 as opposed to 5:30)! It was weird having such short days on The Doctors this week, I told my dad that "a girl could get used to a schedule like this," he got a kick out of that. The lady that does the guests' hair put two feathers in my hair (one is bright red and the other is more natural looking and striped) that stay in until your hair grows out, so that's pretty cool! On the show was Jay McGraw's (Dr. Phil's son & one of the executive producers of The Doctors) wife Erica (who is one of three triplets) and daughter Avery, were on the show because Avery just turned one AND Erica is pregnant again so they did this like check in thing with the family. Her sisters were also there because they all had babies within a year and then put out a workout DVD for working moms. It was insane seeing three tall, blonde, beautiful women that all look exactly the same up close. I don't think I have ever seen triplets in person before, so that was pretty cool.
Friday night we went to this comedy variety show thing that a lot of IC alum were at, but it was kinda lame so we left pretty early.
Yesterday I stayed in most of the day to work on my paper, clean, and do laundry. Super exciting, I know. I didn't even get that far progress-wise on my paper because I was still trying to organize my references and write my outline. However I finished the outline and got 2 pages on my paper finished, so it was a start!
Last night Ginny and I went to see Hop at the theater in downtown Burbank. It was honestly, a really weird movie. There were parts of it that were funny, and the ending was cute, but a lot of it just didn't make since. It did make us really excited for Easter though, which is three weeks from today! And Mom and Matt will be here then so I literally cannot wait!!
Today I worked on my paper ALL DAY. I literally only left the table to go to the bathroom. However, my 10 page research paper, outline, and bibliography are FINISHED! All I have to do now is the methodology, abstract, and key words, which shouldn't take me too long. Then I can start studying for the midterm (even though it is no longer mid-term) that we also have on Tuesday. Having a ten page paper due and a big test on the same day is pretty poor course timeline planning (especially in a program that is primarily internship based) if you ask me, but I guess that's life!
I am definitely excited for this week because The Doctors is dark, I find out about OL, Relay is next weekend, and it is one more week closer to when Mom & Matt get here! Whoooo!
