Ok, so it's been a while I know.

I have been so unbelievably busy. But a good busy.

I'll start out with my internship. It is AMAZING! I love every minute of it! They keep me so busy. I'm either entering info into the computer, reading proposals, helping out on events, figuring out new ideas, researching everything and anything or just re-organizing the closet (which I've been doing for 2 days now and my boss said it hasn't looked that good since he started!) I felt like I accomplished something. Now you might be thinking..Clean the closet? Real Boring. No! I get to see all of the products used for events and all of the setup materials and everything! I love it! Choosing this internship was a great idea! I wish I could just start working there for real now.

Classes on the other hand...well, they're not too bad. They all actually interlink themselves somehow with the topics being discussed so that's cool. I had my first quiz the other day. It was a group quiz and I think we did pretty well. I'm learning a ton of new material and so far enjoying it.

I rarely have time for a social life but I've managed to have some fun. A bunch of my friends came over for an ice cream party the other night. Fun..but too many dishes. Last night was the first time my roommates and I all sat down together for dinner. It was very nice. It felt like a family haha. Other than that...I'm going to Cape May tomorrow, went to the mountains last weekend and just enjoying life. I hope that everything is going great with you! Here are some pics from the past week.
This is my roommate Gab...she's a Pharmacy major (can you tell)

And here's one of my best friends Bridget...nicely showing her ice cream!

So how was your first week of classes? Mine was so chaotic!

Well, I only really have 2 days of classes, but they are practically all day long. And the other 3 days I have my internship for 9 hours a day! However, it is awesome!

My first day at GEP Philly was just getting to know each person that works there and what exactly they do. Some were in sales, accounting, operations or writing the proposals for all of the events that happen. All of them are spectacular people and so friendly. I felt very welcomed. And my boss Mike is really great! His biggest thing is all about have a great attitude. It is definitely something important to keep in mind as you go through college. I asked him what is the most important thing he looks for in a future employee and he said, "A great attitude."

I'm never doing the same thing there. For instance, on Friday, I was asked to research ballerina and bear costumes for a client that needed them for their event. Real odd but it was such a fun task!

Anyway, that's going great. Classes this semester are a little tough but very interesting. Most are Tourism classes so they help me in my internship too.

I also went to the Celine Dion concert Friday night..AMAZING. She is so great! My mom and I had a great great time! After a super busy week, I'm ready to relax. Here are some old and new pictures. Enjoy the second week!!
