Oh The Possibilities

You won't know you don't like it until you try.

I've learned that my internship is giving me so many opportunities, even ones I didn't think I would ever have -- ie. single bylines and working for one of the most well-known editors in New York City. But while meeting celebrities are a ton fun, I'm beginning to see that my career in entertainment news will likely end with this internship. I think this summer will be fun and exciting, full things I'll never forget -- but these experiences have only helped me to see that design is definitely my passion in this industry.

On a similar note, I did get the chance to meet a number of my favorite celebrities this week: Lisa Kudrow (Friends), Penn Badgley (Gossip Girl) and Amy Brennamen (Private Practice). It's still a little surreal to know that the actors and actresses we see on a regular basis (either on TV or in the movies) are just people; being star-struck seems juvenile. Nevertheless, I did get a picture with Amy and with Penn, so I now can watch those shows and say "I met them!"

Outside of the office...it was a REALLY BUSY weekend for me and my NYC bucket list -- I knocked off ALL the locations in Central Park (with a 6 hour walk along side my friend Amy), the Met, Liberty Island (to see the Statue of Liberty) and Ellis Island. There was lots of walking and about 150 pictures taken -- and I couldn't be more happy that I did all of it.

In many respects I feel as though the end of the summer will come and I will have forgotten about something I should have done...but in the same respects -- it's only been 3 weeks, and I still have 8 more. There's so much to do...and so much to see.

Oh, New York City...
