Summer Craze & General Life Nonsense

Life has been crazy with both internships and trying to balance them without going insane. 

I'm now halfway through my third week of both internships, and settling into the swing of things. I've gotten into a bit of a rhythm with everything, and I feel less like a fish out of water.

I'm really enjoying working at Reservoir, I like the work I'm doing and the people I'm working with. The office has filled up the last couple of days with other interns for the summer, so I'm slowly meeting everyone else and figuring out names. Looks like there's six interns total, four guys and one other girl besides me. Also, my boss Cat told me that she's hoping to hire someone in the coming weeks to work under her (kind of a step between her position and mine), so that'll be fun to adjust to. She said I'd have the upper hand because I'll have been here longer, so even though this new person will be my superior in title, I'll be like their superior in experience at the company. 

Every Friday I'm tasked with completing something called Analytics, which is just a fancy term for data entry on the social media we're putting out and how it's being perceived. Pretty much what this means is going to various websites and figuring out what people looked at, how long they looked at it, how many people were engaged, etc. Ian (the guy who had this internship before me) said he hated doing Analytics because it was tedious, but I actually really enjoy it. I've had to do it twice already, and even doing it the second time I somewhat felt like I knew what I was doing. I wasn't totally familiar to the point where I didn't have to look up in my Intern Packet what to do, but most of the steps felt familiar. Plus, I really enjoy the whole data entry type of thing, I'm not really sure why. But I look forward to doing Analytics each Friday.

General life nonsense! 

I still have yet to do laundry, which really needs to happen soon. The laundromat around the corner from me closes at 7 or 7:30 every day, and most days I don't get home til close to 6. It takes about an hour and a half to do one, maybe two loads, so you do the math. They're also closed on Sundays. There's another laundromat not too far from me, it's by the subway station so maybe three or four blocks away. I could walk there, because I know they're open later and longer (sometimes they're still open when I come home from my second internship at 8 or 9). I just don't want to walk all that way with my laundry bag, I'd feel kind of silly. I'll figure it out though, I'm running low on clean undergarments.

The weather has been absolutely gross. It was nice and hot for a while, and then the last couple of days have been stormy and gloomy and icky. I thought it was June? 

Also, I got my first ever hair cut in New York the other day, which was totally as exciting as it sounds (sarcasm). I just got a trim and bangs, nothing special. I went to a Super Cuts, and the only reason I knew it was there was because I remember going first semester with Elle to get her hair cut. PLUS they gave me a student rate, which was awesome. 

So that's it for now! Updates on life to come.
