Ode to Summer Interns
To all those optimists reading this blog
For us interns, the glass is half full
This hardy clan has come a long way
And these 5 weeks have been anything but dull
Since the last time you read we’ve had major group laughs
Wedged between brainstorming the class project, you see
But to where July has been sneaking off
Is a question that definitely beats me
Last week we had a visitor From Charlotte, NC
She dropped in to meet Caroline and the interns
So we dragged her to the photo booth, respectively
Our awesome visitor Jane, squishing into the booth with me, Caroline, Avery, Dominique and James
Potluck lunch on Monday
Thursday intern lunch with Blake
Intern hangout that same afternoon
But we actually work hard too, make no mistake
Our project presentation was a big success
From Youth and TINY we invented decor
Around a map of where TOMS have been given
And we’ve got more random creations in store
Micah grilling the camera
This week we got our “mentors”
From other departments, they’ll be our guides
And we learned to LOVE the new morning shuttle
From car to HQ (and back after work), Travis offers everyone rides
From half-time/midfield
Call it what you may
I’ll leave you with that update
Check back for more escapades next Tuesday
