First Week

So I had my first official week in LA & at Chiat! So far so good. Everything has been wonderful, minus the weather but it was actually very sunny on Sunday, perfect for the beach. An overview of what I have done so far...
Saturday: Arrived, V picked me up, loft is super cool! We went to eat brunch at this amazing place, I don't remember the name but it was delicious. That night I was so tired and just passed out.
Sunday: We went on a hike in Griffth ?? park. It was really cloudy but I was happy it wasn't scorching hot for the hike. 
Monday: Chiat but really didn't start till Wednesday, who knew Wednesdays were the official beginning of the week...but i met everyone got set up on my computer. LOVE IT! It's so casual and fun here, its awesome. Trivia night - art history super hard, but nailed the Titanic questions!
Tuesday: Didn't really do anything all day because I didn't have work so I hung around the loft, organizing things and downloading some music and watching TV. 
Wednesday: First day of interning. We had the intern breakfast (every Wed.) I got to meet the others, I am the only one on Sara Lee so its pretty cool. The breakfast was great. I did some research and a powerpoint for Jimmy Dean Sausage. Thats pretty much all I was able to do. Afterwards worked out with Veronicas trainer, she was good!
Thursday: They had GfK Roper Reports presentations that I attended, the main one, moms, and food/beverage/diets. They were pretty interesting and I got to learn more of the trends and see how things work. I also started industry reports that I will do every week/two weeks. Cool stuff. After work, went and saw UP in 3D. That was a really cute movie and actually kind of funny for an animated movie. So expensive though-movies! Ge'ez!
Friday: No work on Fridays!! Joined Bally's gym because not working out was driving me absolutely insane. Very happy about that. Went to Wurschuch ? Im not even going to attempt to spell that correctly but it is a amazing little like dive place that serves only brats/sausage and beer and fries and it was sooo good. I got the vegetarian italian! Delicious! & the fries are unbelievable. My dad would LOVE that place. Someone should write it in to Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives. (there is always a line) 
Saturday: We went on another gorgeous hike in Runyan, the day was really nice too and I got some great views of all of LA all the way down to the ocean! Just gorgeous. Got dinner at an Indian place, it was the first time I actually did not know what I was eating. It was alright, very strachy carbs but for the most part everyone enjoyed their meal. Then we went to go see The Hangover. OMG that movie is hilarious! I really didn't think it would be funny and I wasn't going to see it but she had already bought the tickets. We saw it in the dome down in Hollywood or something. Huge screen but man o man what a funny funny movie. I highly suggest to go see it. 
Sunday:  BEACH, Venice Beach to be exact. What a great place. I loved it; the beach, characters, entertainment, shops, everything was just awesome. We played volleyball with some of Veronica's friends. That was a lot of fun, its been forever since I have played. The water was freeeeezing and down by the ocean it was really windy and a little chilly but I did get sun. Went to eat at this Swiss place which was good and then home to watch the Magic f it up at the last second, literally! Hopefully they can win the next 3 home games and make this series somewhat challenging and entertaining. 

Alrighty well that was a sum up of my first week in LA, and like I said, so far so good! 

Peace&<3
