Keeping busy and having fun!

Wow this week flew by! Having 2 internships and always doing something different at both of them causes things to just fly. Life doesn’t get boring here! I’ve gotten to go to some fun events both with the wedding planning internship and also with Events2Give. I went to another event in Beverly Hills with my Events2Give boss, Amir. This was a small, beauty event at the Beverly Hills Plaza Hotel. It was beautiful! I had the most delicious Peach Bellinis and Sushi. I had a fun weekend, besides getting both a stomach bug and a cold, one RIGHT after the other. So strange. I went to a comedy show at Club Nokia downtown with Julianne and Paige (my roommates), and that night I got sick. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to go to Universal Studios the next day (a big group of us Ithaca kids planned to go then)…and I LOVE amusement parks. After having a kind of rough night, I woke up, and felt better, and decided to try Universal. My stomach was great for the rest of the day, which was a great relief. Half way through the day, my throat started to hurt and I’ve had a cold since then-so weird. I went from January until now without even getting a cold (a first in my life)..because of the warm climates…but I was constantly sharing drinks and food and hardly sleeping, so its pretty ironic that I get sick now! Anyways, Universal Studios was a lot of fun!

My boss is creating his own TV show and he had a production meeting on Monday. I got to tag along! The meeting was at a penthouse on the top floor of this big building overlooking all of Hollywood, including the Hollywood sign. The guys in Entourage lived at the penthouse in the show (thats where they filmed it). It was so cool! I met one of the actors for the TV show. He has been on a lot of movies and shows and definitely had a familiar face. We read through a few scenes. I got to read the narration. It was so exciting for me to be in that setting. I have a passion for acting, and I miss it so much. It was so fun to be around it again..reading a script, and hear the actors read and act out their lines.

The next day I went to see the Tonight Show (Jay Leno)! We got tickets for free, and it was perfect because there were great stars on the show that day-Emma Stone and Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Avengers, the Huntsman on Snow White and the Huntsman). It was a really cool experience, besides the whole waiting around all day. We got there unnecessarily early, but got really good seats because of it. We got to sit on the floor, which meant we got to go up and give Jay a high 5 when they announce him in the beginning of the show. 

On Wednesday Theresa, the wedding planner, brought me downtown LA and showed me the flower district and fashion district. It was fun walking around and seeing all of the fabric stores, and then seeing rooms where designers had their work. She brought her 2 daughters (one is 6 months and one is 4) so it was fun hanging out with them. Thursday I went to an event with them and Theresa’s husband at the Four Seasons. It was a wedding network event. I enjoyed some rose champagne and yummy food at a beautiful location. Each coffee table had fire burning in the middle. It was such a cool atmosphere! Friday I went to Theresa’s house. I made a few calls and sent some emails. Its been fun being around her daughters so much. It makes me really miss my niece and nephews!

Saturday night I had a fun night out with the girls at this club called Tru in Hollywood. Sunday I went to a pool party at the rooftop of the W called Club Drai. It was amazing. I went with Paige (not roommate Paige, but another new Ithaca friend). We were there all day-it was SO MUCH FUN! We met some cool people, enjoyed some great music, drinks, sun, and Hollywood views. It was amazing. But the fun didn’t end there! It was Julianne’s 21^st Birthday on Monday! I didn’t have to go into work that day so I had the day to prepare for the festivities-decorating, making the cake and such. I love birthdays! J  We went to a very authentic Mexican restaurant where this guy who was about 4 feet tall and was the valet danced with Julianne and I and boy did he get down! The Mexican musicians sang to Julianne, and she had a flaming Margarita. Then we went to this sweet bar on Hollywood called Velvet Margarita and enjoyed a free pina colada in a real coconut. After that we went to the Playhouse in Hollywood, just down the street, and a really fun time. Julianne had a wonderful 21^st, and we all had a lot of fun too! 

This week is flying by! Yesterday I went to the penthouse that overlooked all of Hollywood again. I had a really cool experience at the production meeting at the penthouse, meeting really cool, accomplished people, producers, actors…real cool stuff. There was a read through for a TV show that the production meeting was for, and I even got to read a couple lines-ahhh I miss acting!

Anyways, things are great. I just love it here, and everything is going by too fast!  I’m keeping so busy and am loving life!
