Bellamafia, the Intern

“Being rich isn’t about money. Being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to take time to stop and eat the heart of a watermelon. And some of us will be rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead of the game.” ~Harvey Mackay
 
I didn’t sleep very well last night and I think it was because I was nervous. I woke up at 2 in the morning and then again at 6. I hate it when I wake up a few minutes before my alarm goes off. It’s as if I’m cheated on precious sleep. Like those extra ten minutes are going to make the day more manageable. I watched my alarm clock click the minutes until 6:30 and then got up. Was going to work out in the living room, but I thought I might give the blister on my heel a little time to heal.
 
Instead, I made breakfast and did some reading. Then I got ready for my internship. Busted out the beautiful black business suit that is incredibly beautiful. I left my flat at 8:30, giving myself an hour and a half to make it to the city to the north. I wasn’t sure if there would still be rush hour traffic when I got up there. Well, I arrived at 9:20. It was a good thing I brought a book. I sat in the parking lot and read until 9:50. I’ll leave at 8:45 on Tuesday, see how that does it.
 
Well, I was quite nervous at first, but as the day wore on, I felt much calmer. The morning was spent reading over the hospital’s writing style guide and the glossary of medical terms. Man, I can explain a lot of medical terms to you now. They gave me a tour of the hospital and showed me the doctor’s lounge. Which is the nearest bathroom to our office, so I get to use their bathroom. Not very many cute doctors, but there were one or two.
 
I spent the afternoon prepping door prizes for a convention they are having tomorrow. Then I made some signs for the convention and also typed up a document for my boss. I have two bosses, a man and a woman. They are both lovely people and I feel really welcome and comfortable around them. While I was prepping the door prizes, the president of the hospital came into our small office. He seems like a nice man, but I couldn’t tell. I only shook the man’s hand.
 
Parents arrived back from Mexico today. They had a grand time and I got to hear about all of their adventures. They brought back some Talavera for me. I’m so excited. When I studied in Mexico I fell in love with Talavera and brought some back. Well, my mother found some while they were down there and bought a piece for me and a piece for my sister-in-law. I’m excited to see it.
 
I think I should clarify the whole Boston thing. Big C moved to Boston for his job in September. I promised him I would come and visit him sometime. Well, I’ve decided to go the first weekend of Spring Break. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I finally did something about it. I’ll leave on the 16th and stay for five days. I’m so excited.
