Sorry for this posting being a few hours late.  It was a late night and I needed some rest.  If I didn’t rest, I would have been sleeping during all the meetings!  That’s never a good thing, especially if you are interning and want to set the right example.

Just like every other day I woke up and took my shower to get ready.  This morning was a bit rough because I over slept by ten to fifteen minutes and my stomach was having issues.  To say the least, I was 15 minutes late to the building that I’m “mainly” interning at.  It wasn’t a big deal, I just HATE to be late to things.  It’s not how I was raised nor does it feel right.  It always makes me feel awful and makes it feel like people are talking about me behind my back.  That’s never good…

Today was like no other morning, went through all the meetings with no problems.  After the meetings is where the fun begins

I went over to someone house that they are renting for the afternoon.  While I was there, I had to make a phone call to the unemployment office in Neptune, NJ.  Can you believe that I was on hold for about 40 minutes only to be on the phone with an actually person for under a minute.  That was just crazy.  The good news about waiting for this phone call, I still have no idea if I’m going to be accepted or denied.  I find it all out on Monday.  Please pray that this will fall through.

After spending an hour of my day on the phone with a machine, I got the chance to head down to the beach for some Maine Beach fun.  Believe it or not, Maine can get hot, but the water is cold.  Just going to give you all a heads up.  I went to Old Orchard Beach to go swimming and play from ball on the sand.  It was a good time and you can never go wrong with the beach up here.  It’s more difficult to get burnt, but I assure you, it’s possible so be safe!

Beach play was over and now it’s dinner.  Dinner is always my favorite part of the day.  Yes, I love food so I get excited.  I had Cincinnati Chili for the first time and I completely fell in love.  If you never had it, I would HIGHLY recommend it!  It’s just beyond amazing and I want more just thinking about it.  Maybe I’ll switch topics now…

After dinner I went down to the Pavilion in Old Orchard Beach (OOB) to watch Sandi Patty.  She’s a great singer with some amazingly high vocal cords.  Oh, I forgot to mention that her stage presents is also great.  She puts a smile on everyone’s face and she’s hilarious.  Great concert!

Now it’s time to go to the Pier where I bought some Bill’s Pizza and Pier Fries.  They are right next to each other and I think they are the best places to eat in that area.  If you’re in OOB, go there if you want fries and pizza.  It’s a bit pricey but not overly expensive.  For desert I had Dairy Queen.  I bought the Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard…amazing!

Now it’s time to head back to my room where my fail of the day happened.  My key decided to get scratched up at the beach so it didn’t work.  After a long time waiting for assistance, I got into my room and slept the night away.  Goodnight and I’ll fill you all in on things tomorrow.
