You've Got Mail!

Tonight's entry will hopefully be fairly quick because I'm so tired my eyes burn. Work was good. We got a new intern named Brandon who just finished his master's at Syracuse and is interning at Alan Taylor Communications to finish up his degree credit. He sits RIGHT next to me (they had no where else to put him, so they turned the rest of my desk into a make shift one for him). They were supposed to come and drill a hole in the desk for his cords and wires, but didn't make it. Currently all the cords to connect his computer run under my feet and chair until the hole is drilled. He was pretty much bored out of his mind today, but Melissa and I assured him things would get better.

Today I was asked to be a volunteer at the Silver Anvil Award Ceremony for PRSA on Thursday night. I'm SOOOOO excited! What an honor! Taylor Simmons and Laurel Matsuda intern there and they needed more volunteers. I was the first one that came to mind because of my high involvement with PRSSA. I'm so excited! Taylor was talking to me about it at dinner and said they still needed two more volunteers. Lyndsey Payzant and Jamie Coon were quick to hop onboard. We're really excited about the event. We could be cleaning crumbs off the ground for all we know, but its a very fancy, honorable event and a once in a lifetime opportunity for us as college students. It'll be awesome. And to think, the event only costs a mere $295 per person and I get in free!! :o) That's on Thursday.

Tonight at dinner a group of us girls were also talking about New York movies and You've Got Mail was a common favorite. So, at 8:30pm, Taylor, Jamie, Laurel, myself and Sherilyn went on the 9th floor outdoor roof area to watch the movie in the sights and sounds of New York. I had never been on the roof but the view was AMAZING!!! The sun was just setting over the Hudson River and had I had my camera, tonight's entry would have been flooded with pictures. It was incredible! I'll try and catch some for you another night. Anyway, after the movie we went to the special features on the DVD, where you can actually see a map of where they filmed each place! We decided on Saturday that we were going to take a You've Got Mail tour of New York City. And even better, almost all the filming locations are here on the upper west side. At the end of the movie they meet at Riverside park, which ironically begins right across the street from the I-House. We're excited!

Anyway, its late and I did laundry back and forth while I was watching the movie, but I didn't have time to put it away so it's all over my bed. I've got some cleaning to do before I sleep. :o)
