Last Day of Internship

Today's my last day! I've been training a new girl, and other than that, not doing much at all. It's pretty cool, I teach and then let her do as I chill. But I must say she's A LOT slower than me. Like seriously, just watching her do it made me impatient and I wanted to get rush over there and be like, "OMG I'LL DO IT!" Hopefully she'll get faster as time goes on. But whatever, I no longer work there.

I feel bad for the new girl, she has a lot of work to do. I don't think I had this much to do when I first came in. It's just like she's learning a gazillion things at once. I remember my first day, I learned how to do everything except there was actually nothing to do.. Haha.

I will update and upload Japan ASAP. But I must say, I had SO MUCH FUN! I want to go and study there and go for vacay there a lot. What a wonderful place with such nice people. :)

I should get back to work, there's a few things that I need to wrap up before I officially leave. :)

It's hard to find a balance. When I'm at internship, I get annoyed at all the work that I have to do and complain about how the real world sucks and wish that I could be at home doing nothing. After Labor Day, I got Tuesday and Wednesday off. On Tuesday I went out, so it was okay, but when I got home I was pretty bored so I napped. And on Wednesday, absolutely no plans. So I slept it in until the winds picked up and froze me awake. It's pretty cold the last day or two. Like the metals blinds kept clanking against my window, freezing me to death so I had to close most of my window, but it got pretty cold. Anyways, I woke up around 12:30 which seriously is the first time I've slept in this summer. And the latest I've woken up. Ah, how I miss the days when I woke up at 4, and only had dinner because I slept through the first two meals. Anyways, I'm up a little after noon, go make myself some lunch. Went on my computer, got bored, started unpacking/packing for Davis (I mostly left all my stuff in the garage, so just going through to see what I need, and I concluded that I needed everything, fairly fast process.. Haha). And since I managed that so quickly, I decided to do it again, to see if I got rid anything else. I couldn't. So went back on the computer. Was totally bored again. And it was around 5 I think. So I'm totally bored after being up for a few hours, and had nothing else to do. And thus, I took a nap.

So obviously, it's not good idea for me to just stay at home since I was only awake for a few hours. But I get so bored at internship, or so annoyed of the work. So what's a good balance? Part time job?

Going to Japan next week. Hopefully will be fun, heard lots of good stories about it. And the hot spring spas.. Haha, the hot spring spas.. which totally reminds me of something else funny. Me totally flashing Amy on accident. Interesting thought process (Hot spring spa->Naked->like Skinny Dipping->Amy accidently flashing me in swimsuit accident-> Me doing the same->Me flashing her again... not in water this time.. just lifted shirt a little too high). Amy: "Whoa. I just saw your entire breast" Haha. Anywaysssssssssss....

And now I will leave you with this:

"I AM NOW CHOPPING OFF PHYLLIS' HEAD WITH A CHAINSAW"
watch the office, kiddos. [/plug]

Weddings, weddings, weddings!

Wow. I love weddings. And it's something more special when you actually know the people getting married. Like I've been to my cousin's wedding, however I'm not particularly close to any of them, so whenever I go, it's nothing special. But yeah, weddings are awesome! It's such a special day, and it's YOUR day. I realized that I really want a wedding, not marriage (though hopefully that will come one day), but the wedding. When everyone's focused on your, it's your special day, getting ready, excited, that just sounds wonderful.

Anyways, it was a dinner cruise which was pretty cool. Definitely good food. That's what's important obviously, haha. Another aspect I liked was that the wedding was short (in comparison to her sister's at least). And I've decided when I get married, it'll be a half-hour wedding, that way no one will be bored. Short and sweet. And how exciting it must be to plan everything, so live the rest of your life with someone you love. It sounds wonderful.

My friend said she'll have her wedding and have everyone wear Chucks which is an excellent idea. My feet were killing me, not to mention my knee. I'll have like... a beach wedding and have everyone wear flip-flops or go barefoot. Or... a no shoe requirement? Haha. Like Indian traditions (I actually don't know if that's true or not, I just got it from the Office episodes Dwahli). But then I'll need someone outside to guard the shoes, and make sure everyone wears their own shoes home. Haha.

Funny story: A guy at the wedding decided to randomly grab a bouquet just for giggles, and then realized it was the bouquet that the bride intended to throw (he was informed by a second grader girl) and he started to freak out and told the girl to return it to the "bucket on top of the bar."

And a friend had one drink, a Screwdriver (oj+vodka) and was totally not feeling well. LIGHT WEIGHT. I had a sip of a virgin magarita which to me just tasted like salty lemonade..

Weddings are so much fun, and so happy! And filled with love... obviously. <3

Starbucks Run..

First off, not a big fan of coffee, especially not Starbucks. So expensive for something I don't appreciate? Don't think so. My friends joke that I drink milk-flavored-coffee because of the amount of half-half/creamer that I put in. Not to mention the sugar. The last couple of times that I made coffee at the office, when I got to the end of the cup I end up with this molasses like consistency of gloo from all the sugar that I put it. It's quite disgusting, actually.

But anyways, today my boss said that we're making a coffee run and asked to help out someone and order something for myself. So we make our way there, order 5 drinks, and as we're picking up each of our drinks (they didn't ask for our names) we asked for those cup carriers. And they were all out. How are two people supposed to take back 5 coffees? And one's driving too. So we thought we pretty had it handle cuz she had 3 cup holders, so I would only have to hold two. But as I turned to put the other drink in the back seat's cupholder, the cup separated from the lid. Spilling its contents all over the car. Keep in mind this is not MY car. And I'm just some intern that was dragged along for this. I felt absolutely horrible, while she was very nice about it.

Anyways, we ordered another one and by then everyone was making their routine coffee run, which made the wait for one drink a lot longer than our previous wait for 5 drinks.

And also I learned the hard way that even though foods separately are quite d'lish, sometimes they don't mix well. I enjoyed my honey mustard preztels, and my baby carrots (that I packed for myself last night, isn't that a sign of maturity?) with my Double Chocolate Chip Frap. And now my stomach is upset with me. Ugh. On a totally different note, I've lost 7 pounds since I've been home. 8 more to go before I return to my high school weight. It's extraordinary, I can tell that I've lost weight. My chin looks sharper. :) It's a good look. A more healthy one too.

Maybe I'll lose more weight once I'm back at college. I'll be too lazy to cook, and too cheap to eat out. Good combo. Not necessarily healthy, but a good one nonetheless.

Recently at the office I've been given more responsibility. Yesterday I was asked to call the tax collector about why we were billed twice on our property. And also calling FINRA about where to get the SL6 forms (though I had to copy the whole contract by hand, they wouldn't take copies, must be orignals, I only got the gist of it, something about borrowing and lending money). But the problem is I'm just an intern! I don't know our company's history or the property taxes we filled. Nor do I know my extension. Anyways, as I called these two people, I felt quite embarrassed because they would ask my questions about the properties or what we filed and what not, and I can only respond with, "Uh.. you know, I actually don't know. I'm just an intern here...." Or someone asking me for my number and my respond of "Uh.. I actually don't know the number here or my extension, I'm an intern here... Can I give you a call back??" Wow. Do I sound like an idiot. Well, almost done at this job. Only 6 days left.

DAVIS, DAVIS, DAVIS, DAVIS, DAVIS, DAVIS, DAVIS!
