Hello everyone!

My name is Kaitlyn McKenna and I am a senior here at WIT in the Interior Design program. Although during regular semesters, when I attend classes I live in Boston, I am currently in Sunny California! Through the career center at WIT, I was able to find a design firm in Los Angeles that was willing to sign me on to their team as an intern. So, on September 1st, after completing an amazing 3 weeks as an orientation leader, I loaded up my tiny Toyota Corolla and headed out west. The trip was awesome and it was really interesting to see how people live in other states and the ever-changing landscapes we drove through. I even saw a loose cow being perused by the police!

It felt great to get to California, this is the first time I've been here. I am living right in downtown LA that is really cool. From my window you can see a bunch of really tall buildings, some of them you can even recognize from movies that were filmed here. Work is really cool too. I am working at the Pacific Design Center, which is a major architectural landmark here in West Hollywood, look...

There is also lots to do here, some great restaurants and shopping and some great sports teams! Since I've been here I have already been to see the angels play(they have a great stadium) and I got to see fireworks after the game, which are my favorite. Tonight I am going to see the mighty ducks play at the Honda Arena.

Anyway- I have been here in California for a little over a week and so far I think I made a really good decision to come out here, however I do miss my family and my friends back in Boston, a lot!

Until next time...
