so much has happened since then! i have made about a billion butterfly necklaces at work (so exciting, i know), won the second intern contest, finished beading the bodice of a dress i have been working on forever, and started another contest. we also went to las vegas!
the newest (and last) contest at work was to design and create a necklace. right up my alley ;) it was so fun, and i got to help the other interns learn how to put theirs together. i should put up a bunch of pictures of all of the stuff we have done, maybe i will do that next friday when i am anxiously awaiting my flight for saturday :) meghan comes back to the office on monday, so i am looking forward to that. i'm also a little nervous, because i have gotten so used to being around christen (the design assistant, my boss for the last 7 weeks) and doing things her way that i am afraid it will be a complete 180 when meghan gets back. i am looking forward to spending the last week with her though. i can't believe i only have 4 days of work left!
tomorrow we have the going away dinner for the program at the geisha house. it's the same restaurant that kameron and i went to when he was here. i am glad we're going there again, it was delicious! other than that, i plan on doing a lot of "lasts" this weekend. for example, i just put my last load of laundry in :) i'm hoping to go shopping or something to pass a little time and get out and around LA for my last weekend. we shall see!
vegas was interesting. but fun mostly. it was so HOT. i could not believe it. at 10 pm we walked around the strip and it was still like 90 degrees. what the heck! i guess that's what you get in a desert though. i am proud to report that i went into three tiffany's stores! i wish i was a billionaire though. i also gambled for the first time and won $30.62! and i only gambled $10 :)
i am done rambling, but here is my list (sequel to my list from italy) of things i will miss and not miss!
things i'll miss in LA:
1. santa monica beach-love this place. it's so relaxing and cute
2. the coffee bean-maybe they have these in iowa? i don't think so. but either way, i'll miss the red velvet cupcakes & chai tea until we are reunited :)
3. christen & karina at meg fab-taught me almost everything i've learned this summer. they're so fun to work with and always helped me get through the days
4. kristina-though our end was a bit of a struggle, i know it's not the end of being friends! i learned a lot from her (coffee bean!), and had a lot of fun too :)
things i will not miss in LA:
1. the public busses-so dumb. but definitely a character builder
2. frozen yogurt-its good, but where the heck is dairy queen? and coldstone? i want real ice cream!
3. the joke of a shower i have in my apartment...i literally have to squat a little to wash my hair.
4. the "bed" in my apartment-is this a concrete slab? and is my pillow honestly made of plastic? yes to all the above.
5. my apartment in general, obviously
6. being 898776098980 miles away from home. that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but thats what it feels like.
well i think i'll keep that as a running list, just in case i think of more between now and next friday. stay tuned ;)
see you in ONE WEEK!
xoxo-e
