A Day In The Life...

Of an INTERN.
Out of respect for the studio I don't blog a lot about my experience there.
But I do LOVE my internship.
It is hard work.
It is a completely different experience than my study abroad in London.
But for many many reasons this experience was needed.
I am working hard and putting in lots of extra hours.
I have found myself working 12 + hours a day.
I want to make the most of my time - and work as hard as I can.
So here is a little glimpse into my day.
When I have to be to the office at 9 I take the subway.
I am often blown away at the different crowds of NYC.
The other day as I was hoping of the subway and I found myself just turning the corner and not even thinking about where I was going I had to stop and have a good laugh at myself.
When did I become one of these New Yorkers?
I love it.
When I have to be there before 5 a car is sent for me.
And when I have to be there before 6 I take a cab.
I had to post this..
This cupcake mobile is a huge hit among New Yorkers.
These people don't know what they are missing out on.
Sweet Tooth Fairy is still my top pick!
I spend my days helping producers with segments, answering phones, running errands, and just taking it all in.
A few times I have had the opportunity to help with the "Who Knew" segment for the 4th hour of the show.
I have also helped with the "Parents Tell All" segment.
Everyone here is SO kind and lovely.
They are just what they appear to be.
Honestly.

Sometimes we get to work on really exciting thngs.
Like Evanne - with this beautiful shoe that was warn by one sexy lady
on one sexy movie that just came out -
about a sexy city that I live in.
Got it?
The day of the concert we wake up bright and early to help out.
Concert days are a blast.
Often times we are sent to let people know about the free concert.
This can be a bit challenging at 6 or 7 am as the business men don't really care!
Nonetheless, we get the word out.
Meet Charlie and Katie.
Oh how I love the other interns.
Charlie just left on Friday.
He is going to be missed by everyone.
Except Evanne.
They had a love hate relationship.

It was early.
That's not excuse.
Like I said - everyone here is SO nice.
I was brave enough to ask if my Mom could take a tour.
It was like - do you even have to ask?
My Mom was SO excited.
When I told the producer of the concert that she was coming she was like, "She can have a VIP pass"
So nice.
So Ann got to be with all of the VIP's at the One Republic concert.
She even got to snap this pic with one of the on air talents.
Like I said, everyone is so nice.
My Mom was nearly in tears talking to her about me.
Isn't my Mom just the cutest?
She had about 5 people tell her she looked like a New Yorker.
She was so flattered by that.
I got a kick out of it because my Mom had no idea where she was half of the time.
I sent her to get a treat for everyone in the office and after about an hour she called me and said,
"I can't find Broadway!"
I pretty much died with laughter.

It was so wonderful having my Mom see what I do and where I do it.
I am so incredibly grateful to be able to be with such a wonderful company on my very favorite show.
While I don't want to say everything that I have gotten to do or how the company operates I will say that I have felt welcome from the moment I arrived.
It really is a family.
It has its ups and downs and sometimes its hard being here in the city.
But I am learning a lot about the business and about myself.
And that makes my experience absolutely irreplaceable.
What makes it even more worth while is the people I get to work with.
The other interns are such a blast!
Evanne and Katie are two of my new best friends.
I adore them.
They know pretty much everything about my life.
If anything - they are the reason I am supposed to be here!
