First Real Summer Post


I guess I haven't updated people on my summer as of yet. Summer has been okay. I definitely miss last summer, but what can you do? Things change.
I've been working at the movie theatre on nights, and on Monday and Tuesday I intern at The Rendon Group where I do fun stuff like helping make phone calls, put in information in excel sheets, make up scavenger hunts, try to get food donated. Not too bad, except they don't always have things for me to do, so I feel bad just sitting there. It's not like they are paying me, but they all seem so frazzled with all the work they have to do, but there's not a lot I can help out with. They are hosting a conference in August called Women2Women and it's really cool. There's over 100 girls coming from over 20
countries and 15 states. There get to stay at Lesley University and participate in different leadership activities (including above mentioned scavenger hunt), so I am excited to help out with that.
On Wednesdays I get the day off! They are wonderful. I clean my room and be lazy and sometimes have to work at night, but sometimes not! Super cool!
And on Thursdays I intern at Boston Brand Group
where I call production offices, read scripts, review movies, and fun stuff like that. The work is pretty cool, I just wish I could see some of the work I have put in actually make something happen. It won't be unt
il after my internship is over that the movies I worked with will come out and I can see if any of our products were placed in them (oh yeah, that's what BBG is, product placement company for the most part). And on Fridays I work for BBG from home. I don't like working from home, I don't have a proper desk or phone so I don't get much done.

So yeah. Summer has been interning and working
with a few splashes of fun with people like Sarah, P.A.C.K. and work people. The most fun I have is at work with all the sweet people there. Below is me being awesome and selling a water (a $4.25 water) to a customer. AKA that is another employee posing with me pretending we actually use carts with decorations. We don't. Well we have like twice.














One great adventure during the summer so far was AJ's graduation dinner with P.A.C.K. it was super fun and a great reunion for us! We danced the night away and were the center of it all! Mr. Cote took some videos of us and I cannot wait to see what kind of fools we look like in it. Apparently Marc's girlfriend said we looked like four pixies dancing around a mother tree. I can totally see it. If AJ counts as a mother tree....
Here is the fabulous four outside of the dinner
(which really became a dance party because of us)
I've also been somewhat thinking about looking into joining the Coast Guard Reserve. I have many things holding me back from making this decision the main one being that for all intents and purposes it is still a military branch and in wartime they are under Naval command. But all I want to do is clean up waters and stop drug trade. I would never be able to even touch a gun, let alone learn how to shoot it. I need more information, but it's in the back of my mind. And while I think about it, I'm training LOL. AKA I am working out and making sure I can fulfill all the physical requirements. Which I think I can do all of them already because they are pretty simple. Anyway, that's just a tid bit, nothing serious as of yet. I always think of weird things like this that I want to do with my life and then decide I don't. My mind wanders and I make new decisions. It happens.

Goodbye and good luck for every day is another chance,

Alice Shea
