Although I was on the phone into the early morning with a few friends from home, I still had enough energy to have a productive day. I finally awoke to the chirping birds of my alarm clock at 9:07 after having pressed the snooze button about three times. Kyle was waiting for me at the entrance to Emerson's Dunkin Donuts as I rushed out of the elevator doors only to discover that my watch was ten minutes fast and that the other intern that I worked with from CE, Robby, was still updating his Ipod upstairs. After he came down and was greeted by his two peers and our mouths full of corn muffins, we hopped on the T and arrived out our job on Newbury Street three stops later.
At work, we've been working with our CEO on a pretty high-tech marketing campaign. About a week ago when we were just beginning to settle in at the workplace, the CEO invited us to a brainstorming session. We came up with the idea of snapping photos of all of the Boston area T stops, (because everyone always looks for directions) watermarking them with the company logo, (for brand recognition) and uploading them to websites such as Google maps for public viewing and free advertising. Because we three were part of the brainstorm that came up with this idea, it became our project and thus we've been in charge of gathering and editing the pictures for the past week.
After work, we returned to the dorm and played frisbee until dinner time. For dinner, a group of us went to Dick's Last Resort which is about a ten minute walk away. It is an interesting place to eat; the waiters are intentionally rude to the customers and often force them to serve themselves. We still had a great time. However, an unfortunate family consisting of two clueless parents and their two children sat two tables away. They went expecting a totally normal dining experience but instead left disappointed with the service. All of the CE participants managed to have a great time though, particularly us guys as the Homerun Derby was playing on the assortment of LCD TV's hanging on the walls. There is no doubt that tonight I'll be tossing in bed replaying Josh Hamilton's record shattering first round in my head into the early morning, and despite the little sleep, (the counselors do their best to get us to bed early) I'm sure that tomorrow morning I'll still be having fun after having pressed the snooze button on my alarm clock for the third time.
