Story Tale
Today is.... July 19th.
Time is flying by. I can't believe I'll be home in like 2 weeks. Craaazy. We went to Washington D.C. on Saturday. It was hot and humid. I thought the White House would be a lot bigger. DC was really clean and Georgetown was super cute. We met this really nice little old lady who told us where we could by wine. We went to CVS, Safeway AND 7/11 and none of them sold wine. Good thing the little old lady knew that Trader Joe's would have it. It was this night that we decided we should write a book about our internship experience. Actually, it was Hannah's idea. But it had been in the back of my mind, too. I mean, a lot of crazy, funny, exciting shit happens in 2 months when your in the coolest city of the country. Our characters would be so different, yet so real. Hannah would be the crazy girl. Not necessarily crazy like drunk, sleep with a bunch of guys crazy. But crazy like "Oh my god I cant believe she just said that"" kinda crazy. Example. Hannah: "Im gonna make sangria" as she adds ice cubes to wine. Me: "Hannah, adding ice cubes to wine does not make it sangria." Hannah: "Oh." She's the blonde one. The one who lights up the room when anyone walks in. Hannah's the one in the back of the room dancing and making the funniest comments. Ever. Sara is the grungey girl with tattoos and a 30-year-old boyfriend. You would never think she is the most high maintenance. She brushes her hair at 4am when the fire alarm goes off an is always the last one to be ready on a night out with the girls. She doesn't like walking, either. Jessica is the one who knows everything that you learned in middle school about history. She reads her text books front to back and can finish a full novel in matter of only hours. She also talks on the phone REALLY loud. She can be immature at times, like squealing about the Bachelor or screaming about kissing boys through Skype. But she can be very mature, as well. She watches her money, is very responsible and, well, that's all I can really think of. And then there's me. The motherly, caring character who makes sure everyone has had their breakfast and daily vitamin. "Thanks, mom" Hannah says to me from time to time, when I remind her to get her laundry or when I hold her ice cream so she can adjust her purse and pay the ice cream lady. An then, aside from the main characters, we have our supporting actors. There's Allie, who is super quiet at first, very timid. Until she downs a bottle of vodka. For the pregame. And then there's Sam, the internship staff who is from England. All the girls love his accent- I mean, him.
Our adventures of the 4 musketeers, the girls in the city, the interns, could make millions on this book.
Ok, Jess is talking really, REALLY loud right now. I gotta go open can of motherly whoop ass.
Good night, NYC
Sunday morning we walk around a little more and went to the top of the Washington monument
