My life as an intern

I started my internship with Rita Barela Productions International, Inc. on Monday. I absolutely love my super cool office and my very own desk! So far I have been making grids non stop of bobble head and rubber ducky prices, organizing production, registration, and the warehouse on-site boxes, and I even got to make a wood stain sample. I am looking forward to the upcoming events and the next 15 wks of my internship!

O Hippie Hill...

During our exploration, a Coffee Bean & Tea iced hazelnut latte was a must have. When I ordered, the man behind the register asked us what we were up to that day? We told him we were going to Golden Gate Park. He suggested we go to Hippie Hill where they set up a big drum circle and play for hours. We stepped off the train and followed our ears to this huge open field with people sitting all around. A scantily clad woman/hippie/bum came up to us and felt the need to hit on us and give us hugs. We sat down, far away from her, and enjoyed the beats from 20+ person drum circle (deciding that next time we would come prepared with our bongos and would join in).

He came back...

It seems both David and myself had some unfinished business when we parted ways (David would carry on with his bachelor party/road trip and I to start my life in San Fran). Not knowing when we would see each other again, we said our goodbyes and tried to "lock it up" (def: keep from falling apart). Then, after being in Las Vegas for a few too many days, and perhaps being a bit impetuous from lack of sleep, he traded in his ticket home for one to San Francisco! Within 3 hrs, he was here! We got to spend another 28 hrs together. So we took full advantage of our time and went to explore the city. Taking the train we went shopping on Haight St, ate some grub, meandered through Golden Gate Park, enjoyed Hippie Hill and its drum circle, snuck into the De Young Museum, and finally ended the exploration with a banana split! Both of us being exhausted, we went back to my room for a nap. Waking up refreshed, we dared to go outside after dark looking for somewhere to eat, but found nothing. Cold and hungry, we decided to order some pizza (that ended up being a challenge due to few dare to deliver in Bayview). While waiting for dinner, there was something that I needed to tell him, something that I had been thinking about for a while. As soon as I started this conversation, David pulled me down, and tried to make me stop talking (he does this when he feels an awkward convo is about to start up). Fumbling with his phone, he said someone was calling, he text me "i l u." I am convinced that I have a psychic boyfriend, as this is like the 3rd time he has read my mind. He told me that this was the reason he flew back, that he had to tell me in person. The pizza was delivered, and we dubbed it "The 'L' Bomb" dinner. We had a fabulous time together! I miss him already.

Quasi-Ornithophobia


Since being in the city I have developed Quasi-Ornithophobia, meaning I'm kind of afraid of birds. There are so many pigeons that see no consequence in flying right at your head. I have been counting the number of close encounters: 5. Almost every time I have went into the city. By the end of my internship, this quasi phobia will have become full-blown.

I have arrived

Ok, so I have actually been here for about 6 days, but better late than never. I arrived last Saturday night to what seemed to be the coldest, dreariest day ever in San Francisco (view point North of the Golden Gate bridge completely covered in fog). More pictures of the bridge on a more picturesque day to come.
