just arrived in the afternoon. settled in went to get basic necessities (shampoo, chocolate etc) and the bank. so by the time i got to the house i'm staying at it was 5pm? i was so depressed i just cried myself to sleep.
ok some explanation. i'm staying with an old couple (mr and mrs smeaton) i get like this little part of the house with a bed room connected to a bathroom and a little living room with arm chairs, tv, fridge and the like. they are really nice don't get me wrong, like grandparents. but yeah being in this little drab sleepy town and dreaming about new york just really made me. every time i thought about it i would feel sorry for myself. i was stuck here i couldn't get any where because i have no car there's no public transport. down town consists of one street with restaurants which is a half hour walk away. i don't know anyone at all. i can't groccery shop. my internet sucked. i have to walk to work 1.5 miles (25 minutes?) everyday. you can't buy alcohol after 7pm wtf. basically i was trapped with nothing to do except cry.
the kitchen
my bedroom! chandelierrr (:
my bathroom
the disaster zonewoke up super early. nothing to do. really just spent the whole day in tears. i hate feeling sorry for myself like that and sobbing in my own self pity. it is not that bad. there are much worse things. i think if i didn't have a boyfriend who was willing to listen to me sob and talk to me i would have spent the whole day in bed.
at night i went to this shakespeare in the park play with mr smeaton. the park was pretty nice there's like a mini waterfall and bridge and all.

work! finally started! slightly better cos i finally had something to do omg. the company is super nice. the people are friendly and the office is filled with toys and dogs. there's a pool table. a punching bag. a few xboxes and play stations and on one floor, everyone has their own wii! there's a little serenity garden. basketball hoops and random projector screen tvs. i like it (:

i'm working on an account for this restaurant which is like a chilli's or tgif kinda thing. except its called FATZ CAFE which kinda freaks me out because, well if i'm going to sell it i have to try the food right? FATZ. we tried it out one day for lunch and it lives up to its name. the portions are huge. they put cheese under everything but well hidden so you get in those extra calories without even noticing! the vegetables which you think are healthy are smothered in cream or cheese sauce. anddd the bread they serve are fried! fantastic huh?
my team is pretty nice too and i think i'm lucky cos my intern program is different from the other 8 interns. i actually get a primary account whereas they are more like floaters, doing random tasks. i like the focus and depth of my internship. and i like it that this company is full service, which means they do every single aspect of advertising - account management, media, creative, production, digital. so i can get my hands on everything. next monday i'm going for a commercial shoot! sexxcited (: its one of those where they show lots of yummy food being cooked etc for a special limited promotion and we have a food stylist to do that! isn't that interesting to work as someone who makes food look pretty?? there's a dish that has two prawns on it and to ensure we get the "prettiest" ones (she actually said that) we need a 5 lbs bag of shrimp omg and we have to buy the exact brand of everything that the restaurant uses. i can't wait for the shoot!
ok so the other interns are nice but, well most of them are southerns (suuhhh then errs) and they are just different. they sleep at 9pm. the girls think waxing is some new fangled thing. they work out EVERYDAY sometimes before work, which starts at 8.30am. omg. sorry i can't keep up. they are nice but. like those nice dumb girls you know? one guy from washington dc is ok. as in more interesting and real. less fluffy. more worldly.
i'm a lot better now. not maniac crazy crying. my period came too. this weekend i went out for dinner with the inerns on friday then to this bar which is supposed to be nice but not really. they have nice margaritas though! last night we watched this scary movie (the descent, i hate it) at the guys house and had moscato and cookies haha so i guess it's getting better (:
sorry this is super ass long. there's actually much more details but i'll spare you. oh random facts:
i got a bike! yayy transport other than my two feeties (:
i'm going for yoga classes today hee the other interns are hiking but. well. hiking no thanks.
i had grits for the first time in my life today. it's this southern grain mush thing. don't try it. (the old couple always offer me food when they cook and they always do sunday brunch. today we had peppers and mushroom omelettes. garlic butter grits. peaches and toast. last week we made waffles! with raspberry and blueberry and greek yoghurt)
oh and we actually write the menus for the restaurant haha so i spent half a day coming up with yummy sounding names for dishes like grilled chicken (5 spice charleston chicken) and seafood salad (citrus seabreeze salad), subject to client approval. (the client is like a real housewife of new jersey).
ok long enough haha see y'allll
