So...

Haven't done too much lately, which is evident by the lack of entries. Work's been going okay. I've been doing a lot of busy work (which I guess you can expect from being an intern) but the good thing is that I'm not stuck back in some copy room. I'm right in the middle of everything and am getting a lot of exposure to the different departments. We also had an auditor type person coming for a few days this week so I had Monday and Tuesday off since they didn't really have anything for me to do while they were there. We're also starting to gear up hardcore for our auction and that's mostly what I'll be focused on. I did up the invitations yesterday and mailed them out so I hope we get a good turn out.

I've been working a lot with Jim, the development director who does specials events, and I've also done a lot of work with Melinda, who does wish granting, and I really like both areas. Melinda basically helps plan out the wishes and makes sure everything runs smoothly and works on fun little things to add a little extra to it. There's a lot more artsy projects when I work with her, which I love. I was always the kid in school that actually liked doing projects.

I drove to Augusta again on Tuesday to go to Target and buy Remember Me, because anyone that knows me well enough knows that I wouldn't wait to get it. Come on. Get real. I've already watched it and watched the commentary because I have nothing else to do. If you haven't seen it yet, go get it right now. Amazing movie and makes me emotional everytime I watch it.

Also really excited for Eclipse to come out next week. I was a little apprehensive about going when I didn't have anyone to go with but I finally got over it and realized that if I want to see a movie I'm going to go regardless if I have anyone to go with. So I bought my ticket online and will be going to the midnight showing next Tuesday. The closest theater is about 20 minutes away in Rockland so I told Sara I'd have to call her on my drive home and discuss, since we won't be seeing it together. Her, Amanda and Erin are my usual Twilight buddies and with none of them out here to be nerds with me I'll just have to improvise.

Speaking of my wonderful BFF Amanda, she went and found herself a job as a reporter and I'm so incredibly proud of her. She has so much determination to just do what she wants and not listen to some people ; ) and I really look up to her for that. So send her a little congrats if you can!

My dad is flying out to see me for a few days in the beginning of July, which I'm really excited about. I really love living out here but I really miss everyone so in that aspect I'm happy about coming home. Otherwise I really love the east coast so its definitely a contender for after graduation as long as I can tear myself away from my family and friends (we'll see). My mom is coming about a week or so after my dad leaves. Then I have the Fantasy Auction and I leave about two or three weeks later so I feel like the rest of my time here is going to fly by.

I'm so excited that my Brynner is coming out to roadtrip with me back. I don't get to see her enough and I miss her like crazy so it's going to be an awesome experience. We're going to head out of here probably the Sunday or Monday after I finish work, stop in Boston for a few hours since I've never been there, and then continue on home.

For not having much to say I guess I rambled a little. That's what I get for not having much social interaction.

It rained all night last night and I barely got any sleep. I did however forget to mention in my last blog post about how I saw a McDonald's and a Burger on my adventure to Target the other day and it made my heart leap. I won't apologize for my addiction to McDonald's fries. The closest thing we have to fast food in Camden is Subway or Scott's Place, which by the way is excellent. It's this little stand that has all types of burgers and fries and unfortunately its right outside my office and after my first visit I was already a "regular." Didn't do much at work this week, but I did get to write some press releases which is definitely amazing.

This weekend is supposed to be crappy weather so I'll probably just hang around at my apartment and try to get through my second book of the summer vacation. Peace.

Golf Tournament Adventure

So I didn't do anything for Memorial Day Weekend, which was okay because I like laying around and it was a nice weekend to do that.
On Tuesday I drove to a little town right outside Augusta, even though my car was acting funny, to work at a Charity Golf Tournament that donates part of its proceeds to us. My boss and I were stationed at one of the holes to "run" the hole in one contest. He sat at the tee and I sat in a chair down by the green just to watch and see if any of the 160 golfers made a hole in one. No one did. I was glad that I brought a book to read because that would have been the most boring 5 hours of my life. It also started raining about halfway through, so that was kind of miserable, but oh well. It was nice not sitting in an office all day. I also got to "meet", as in he walked by me, Olympic Gold Medalist Snowboarder Seth Wescott.
After the tournament was over they had a lunch and my boss told me I was free to leave, since I was planning on venturing into Augusta and going to Target. Melisa got me a Target gift card as a going away present and I was determined to buy Alice in Wonderland since it came out Tuesday and this Target was the closest one (over an hour) to where I live. When I got out to the parking lot I found that someone decided to park beside me, essentially blocking me in. So I got in and waited...and waited...and waited. The guy finally came and got in his car and proceeded to talk on his phone for another 20 minutes or so while I was sitting there with my car on, ready to go. He eventually left and I waited a few minutes, getting everything situated so I could go. Right before I pulled out, a few of the golf course employees lined up the golf carts behind me as well. It left me barely no room to pull out, I literally felt like Austin Powers with his little cart trying to get out of this parking spot. Once I got out, narrowly missing taking out a few golf carts (I refused to be trapped there any longer) I started typing the Target address into Fran, my GPS, and was surprised to find that the street it was on was not listed. So I had to backtrack and find a street that my GPS recognized and would just have to go old fashioned directions from that point. The Target was a little hard to find but I eventually found it and got my DVD. I was a little worried about my car on the way back, considering my Service Engine Soon light was flashing at me and my coolant had been acting weird. I told my dad, who assured me it'd be fine as I was leaving Target, that it was his fault if I ended up stranded alongside the road of a deserted highway. I made it home fine and he called to make sure about five hours later. Good thing I hadn't been stranded. It was all worth it though for my Johnny : )
