Confidential

I met the founder of Aqueduct (the agency I work at) today!  After listening to him talk about how he wants to engage us in the company and give us hands-on experience, I concluded that he is very charming and nice.  Aqueduct treats their interns so well.  One of my advisors talked to me about Austin, TX today!  I was so giddy when I told him I was from there/I study there.  Rackin' up the cool points!!  But then I lost them when he asked me if I knew anything about football, to which I said "there is ball and your leg body parts hit it sometimes I guess maybe."

I worked off of a confidential brief today!!  I felt so special that I decided to create a powerpoint with 88 slides to document how special I felt.  Not really, but I did create that jumbo powerpoint for some research I'm doing.  Even though it took me around five hours, I'm still not done yet!  Is this what the rest of my life will be like?!  Just kidding, it's really not that bad.  Today was probably the most enjoyable day of work thus far.  I like being able to focus upon a long-term project instead of a bunch of smaller ones.  It's those smaller ones that slowly kill you inside and make you drink your weight in tea/water so you can use the restroom more to avoid work...

The day ended well with a showing of Les Mis at the Queen's Theatre.  It's such a beautiful piece of work and I cannot wait for the movie so I can watch it as many times as I want!  I saw a student production of Les Mis a couple of years ago at a local theater in Texas.  Seeing it then helped me appreciate it much more now.  There are so many layers of complexity that go into the story, so many human truths that emerge out of the songs.

"He gave me my life, he called me brother...can such things be?"
