Wellington Weekly #14

Season is officially over!! That means my time at Phelps was coming to a close... But in an exciting turn of events, I will be staying here for the summer!! I cannot wait to continue working for this amazing company. Here is my "last week" at the internship:

April 1

GPL! I worked in the office today, and then Kendall and I headed to IPC to shoot photos for the GPL Polotini party!! After we worked, I stayed to hang out with Barre and Ilana, and headed to home to rest up for the hunter derby!

April 2

 Taylor and I got to cover the hunter derby today, and luckily the weather was kind to us. It was hot, but the wind was forgiving, and the class was fun to watch! After the derby, the interns headed to WEF to get drenched in the rain during the last grand prix of the season! We took shelter in the media tent for a bit, and then headed out before the jump off ended.

April 3

For the first time ever, all of us had the day off! We had lunch at Short Stacks (highly recommend) and made a plan for an exciting afternoon. It started out by a possibly homeless and mentally absent man telling us that our legs looked like Italy (he wasn't wrong...). He probably said it over and over about 30 times. We then retreated to our car, and he proceeded to follow us... So we got in Barre's getaway car, and headed out of there. After all of that excitement, we finally decided on going to the drive through Safari! One of the most fun days ever. And I fed a giraffe... Life = made.

April 4

It was back to the office, and not much to report on this day. 

April 5

An exciting day! It was technically the intern's last staff meeting, and last week in the office, so the office shut down at two and we all went out to Casa Tequila for mexican food!! (and cake for Cat & Ilana's birthday!) After eating way too much Mexican, I went to Ilana's pool to "tan" with what little sun was left. Ilana, Barre, and I decided we needed Rita's, and then we decided that we had to introduce Ilana to the joy that is Outback bread and blooming onion. A great decision. 

April 6

Today was a big day! I decided to stay at Phelps for the summer, and got lots of excited reactions from people in the office! I can't wait to see what the summer has in store, and I can't wait to see who else will be joining the Phelps team! After work, Ilana, Barre, and I headed to MA's to check on her kitty, and stopped by the outlets for a little window shopping (then they convinced me to buy bracelet, and I don't regret that decision). I did laundry and then called it a night! 

April 7

All of the interns decided to sit at the big conference table in the back instead of in our office, and it was a great decision. We all got CR Chick's for lunch, and had a fun time just hanging out. For dinner, what else was there to do but go to the Food Truck Invasion!?? So many great food choices were made this week. 

April 8

Today was Ilana's and Jenna's final day in the office. After I covered a class at the show in the morning and worked in the office for a few hours, we packed up Barre's car and headed for Miami. No, not for a vacation, but for a horse show... ON THE BEACH. It was so cool. We're super lucky that we got to leave the office early and watch the show on the beach. 

I am going to do a wrap up of my WEF Season here at Phelps, so hopefully I'll some "Things I've learned" that will wrap things up... Also my excuse to not include that in this post because I'm lazy and just very far behind at this point. A WEF wrap up video to come too!! Stay tuned for fun things!
