Workaholic

The past month has been crazy. I have worked 38 days straight. Minus a sick day. And leaving early a couple times. Today is my first Saturday not working in a very long time. And I enjoyed the day, I really did. Would I have rather laid in bed all day watching movies and being super lazy, not bothering to get out of my pajamas. Perhaps. But did I need the time to hang out with friends and enjoy one of the best days of Fall? Yes. So with that, this Saturday didn't slow down, in fact, I'm tired already, and it's 10:00 p.m. Call me a workaholic, but I need to stay busy. I currently work at Mall of America for another seven days, and I still work at Charming Charlie for what seems like infinity, so with that. Here goes the past month, through photos, because writing about every single event that has gone on would be far too overwhelming.

Barbie Princess Charm School. A 20 minute presentation that little girls can sit through to learn how to curtsy, sip tea, and use manners. Oh, and everyone gets a barbie hair crown too.

Wristband counting. Yep. I'm the one who chooses the colors. Oh, the power.

Scrapfest 2011. A ridiculous-ly busy event, but one I wish I participated in!

The super SWEET set-up an un-used "ballroom" space at MOA had for a VIP party for the cast of Victorious and the teeny-bopper guests.

The Cast of Victorious. I just happen to catch five minutes of the show the night before and at least had some idea of who these kids were.

Chris Kluwe at Sky Deck's for a ticket giveaway. Probably one of the highlights honestly. Since this event was a "secret" until the day of.

The Christmas Room. Yep, those are glitter trumpets just laying around.

Kendra Wilkenson book signing. She is a super sweet person. Celebrities are ordinary people. Crazy.

Gumby display for Canstruction. Yep, those are food cans to then be donated to Second Harvest.

The crowd for Marlee Matlin. A very motivational woman for not only the deaf community, but everyone I feel.

Alright. This was definitely THE highlight of my internship probably. Yep, that's Babar. Well his head at least.

This internship has been so great. The people are amazing, very fun to work with, and there is somewhat of a laid back atmosphere, even considering the high number of events that go on. I'm going to miss it. I honestly think "What if" and try to stop myself. But what if I did complete this internship through December; where would my future lead? I will never know. It's been a very bittersweet feeling knowing I am leaving. I've never quit a job before, and to put in my official two weeks notice was a bit nerve-wracking. I can only be thankful for the time I have spent with Mall of America and the Events Department, for they have opened my eyes to another side of event planning that exists. Thank you, Mall of America, may the next seven days be great ones. 01 02 18

One month later.

Time flies. Yep. You heard me. Time really does fly. I always thought this was an expression adults told kids just to make kids enjoy the present time. But they were right. Time really does fly. It's been over a month since my last blog. That is ridiculous. I honestly though, have not had time to write. And if I do have time, I have chosen not to be on my computer. Where has the time gone? I never though it went this fast at school. Maybe that was because I wanted time to fly, now I would rather reverse the clock or at least slow it down. And here I am with a new job (yes, add it to my ever growing list of jobs) and a new life in front of me. Are you ready to hear about my last month? I don't even know if I am. Uffda. I will post shortly about my crazy life. That is, if I have time. Because I really should be sleeping right now. 01 02 18
