Life in the Fast Lane

So one of my friends starting blogging and her blog is way to funny. You can check out Rachel's blog by clicking here. She also yelled at me for not updating mine. I normally write when I travel, but have never really figured out what to write about in the mean time. Today has wrapped up my summer intership at The Brandon Agency and what a fun and busy summer it has been. All of the interns came together to enter the Intern Hero contest by Little Debbie and we won muffins. Yum! (which came in today, just in time). Braden, a sort of intern, worked with our ideas to take pictures and create our amazing entry.

I am still trying to figure out where the summer went. And procrastinating on reading a book that I need read by Monday that I am 10 pages into. Tomorrow is my last full day in Myrtle Beach before heading back to Columbia. This means getting to see so many friends I haven't seen all summer, but also missing all those who have moved away. It's hard to do the same things, like game night, when the orginators aren't there. Those stories that start, remember when we..., aren't known by the newbies and they just never find the stories as funny.

Since returning from Europe, I did get to visit DC for a weekend and althought it was a really quick trip, it was lots of fun. It just so happened that Spring Awakening was there and Rachel's(from the blog above) Claire was playing Thea. We got to see the show and it was amazing as always. If you haven't seen Spring Awakening, do yourself a favor and find a tour date near you and buy tickets now! While we were in DC the cast also did a cabaret show to benefit Make-A-Wish. It was fun to see the cast sing songs that they had choosen. It was a great show and you can see clips of the performances posted on YouTube. Also, when you have time, make sure to check out Extended Run, which is a series written and directed by Perry from the show staring the cast. So back to the trip, DC was great and Ashley and I got to visit with Michael, a friend from USC and also some other friends Dustin and Cami, who showed us some great local restaurants and bars.

Now it is the countdown to football season. Everything in the fall revolves around the weekends when the Gamecocks play. Tailgating in Columbia is an experience you have to see for yourself, cheering on your team with 70,000 fans in Williams-Brice. Sadly our first two games are away, but soon enough we will be at the Cockaboose tailgating!!!!!!!
