Work!

Got lost while going to my first day of work today! Of course. Google maps tricked me, that sneaky thing. I was only ten minutes late after power-walking up some escalators in a pencil skirt (terrible experience), so that was nice.  Upon arriving, I learned that there would be four other interns!  Exciting news!  Four of us all live in the same house, and apparently we all got lost today thanks to Google maps.  GOOGS, WHY.

I enjoyed my first day.  At Aqueduct, there's an abundance of tea, coffee, and the color yellow. Everyone is super down-to-earth and chill.  Here are some e-mails I received today:

J: "Hi all. There are new interns near the kitchen end of the office here for the summer. Please make them welcome."
D (in response to J): "Wa gwan new homies! Feel free to come and say 'Hi' and put some new fresh music on! the rain's making me depressed so i'm playing depressing rap...."
C (in response to J): "Hi interns! I'm quite new here too.  Once you get through the hazing it's really good fun."
T (in response to C): "You're not through the hazing yet C."


After eating out with the other interns at The Distiller, the five of us gave presentations over Euro 2012.  We researched websites and phone applications in relation to Euro 2012 and how well they were set-up, what they were missing, what could have been better, etc.  It was pretty chill first day.  There was a lot of tea drinking.  At 5:00PM we got to watch the England v. France game with co-workers which was fun.  The game ended up being a tie.

Met Tacy for dinner at Byron after work and then successfully made my way back home in the rain. Everyone keeps telling me the weather isn't usually like this, so I hope it'll get better later this week.  It's no fun walking to/from work in the rain!
