So why does my whole department think that when I say I have ‘two weeks left’ they think it means I have two working weeks left.  Come on people no one ever does stuff their last week.  If I weren’t an intern I probably would have had oodles and oodles of vacation time to take.  And you know when people take it?  The last week of work.  I still have to find the most concise and direct way to say that I’m going on the Price is Right next week and I’m gonna win tons-o-money or even ‘a neeeeww carrrr’.  I guess I don’t really need a new car though.  That’s the thing, why do places always give you free upgrades and whatnot, exactly when you don’t need them?  For example, when the phone company gives you a free upgrade every two years.  About one year into it, I decided to upgrade my phone to the beta version (with bluetooth!) .  Then, the two year mark rolls around and my daddy being fast decides to get the ‘free upgrade’ (which in itself is an oxymoron; the free one is always suckier than the one you have).  So, he gets that and about 2 months later my beta version is broken (internally, so not my fault) and I wanna get rid of it to get a new fancy phone with a keyboard.  But noooooo sucky phone has replaced offsetting like half the price of the upgrade.  Now I’m stuck with a refurbished beta :-(   Anyway, bottom line, I’m not supposed to do work next week so stop giving me new projects as this week comes to a close!  (kind of too long of a sentence to put an exclamation, where would the emphasis go?  it’s kinda hard to build up the volume and intensity when it’s a full sentence)

Wow! This summer has flown by.  I’m definitely almost back home then back to school.  There have been so many things to happen since I’ve been here.  There’s been a love story, 2 love triangles, a twisted argument, lots of beach time, lots of drinking, and lots of clubbing.  My bro bro came out here last weekend and of course commented on how much I haven’t been blogging.  I keep having to watch my back about what I actually say on here.  I’d rather not talk too much about work or the distain people have for it or my future career plans because that may make potential employers a little confused.  Also, I don’t want to put much about my new found friends and possibly ruin our friendship over things that I’ve just never thought I should say to them.  Thus, that really doesn’t leave much to talk about except for activities and me going home.

I’m going on The Price is Right and Dr. Phil’s new spinoff show The Doctors.  Okay, maybe ’spinoff’ is a bad way to describe it.  It’s more like an extension.  Only thing is, I can’t document my journey because neither of them allow cameras :-(   Hopefully, I get on The Price is Right and win lots of cool things.  We shall see.  I have to study up on my ‘retail values’ of cars and cans of soup just in case!

back to work
