The Heat Chronicles, Day 4, and no this has nothing to do with LeBron

1) LeBron James is highly annoying, and a media whore. I don't want to hear anything more about him. That being said, i'm sure my cousins in Miami are very happy he's joining their probably-going-to-win-the-NBA-championship team.

2) it is inhumane to keep your full time, UNPAID intern in an office on the 3rd floor of an ancient Victorian house with no AC at all when it is over 100 degrees outside. No matter how little clothing I wear or how much liquid i drink it is still unbearable. Plus, I bring my own computer and don't interact with my coworkers anyway so there is no reason I can't work from somewhere else. They can ignore me even more than usual if they let me work from a Starbucks or something.

3) This has been the longest short-work-week ever. I'm finding some excuse to leave early today no matter what.

4) Sorry to be so negative. Sometimes it's just necessary. :/

In other news, we had a "Faces of Homelessness Panel" on Tuesday after work that was interesting. My friend Gheremey works at the National Coalition for the Homeless so he helped put it together. We had 2 speakers who have both been homeless for a portion of their lives. It was really interesting! After, we had an impromptu TWO HOUR LONG 'evaluation' of the program that Lilly, our Vandy coordinator flew up for. No comment on how much fun that was. basically she's been getting a lot of complaints and this was her way of dealing with it, but it wasn't what a lot of people were expecting I don't think.

Last night we had an "Around the World Dinner" between the 6 suites, where we divided up appetizers, entree and dessert and moved from place to place to eat. We had chinese and italian appetizers (egg rolls and bruschetta), fajitas, enchiladas and a yummy pasta for entrees, and then our suite had all-american ice cream sundaes for dessert. it was really fun and a good way to hang out with VIEW people.

And today is finally friday!!!! i'm still trying to tackle this Ambassadors of the Arts Gala that has no direction whatsoever so we'll see where that goes. And tomorrow my friend and AOII sister Meghan comes in town!!!! I'm so excited to have her visiting for the weekend. Maria Gaitan (my roommmate this upcoming year) just got to DC this week and is starting her job. Can't wait to see her too!
