Well I have officially begun my internship at The Jim Henson Company! I am the Creative Affairs intern, which means I get to work with both the film and the children's television department. Most of the time I am reading scripts and then writing coverage. Coverage is basically a synopsis of the story and then my comments on what needed improvement. I also get to do odd and end jobs for my bosses that need done. Everyone is soooo nice here! People are allowed to bring their dogs to work, and underneath everyone's desk is a nerf gun, just in case a nerf gun war is about to start! 

A few days ago a company was using our soundstage to film a commercial, and the dog trainers for that commercial brought two newborn baby deer, because they couldn't be away from her for over three hours. My boss said we all had to go see for ourselves so the interns took a little trip to go see the baby deer, they were adorable! Also, today on set Randy Jackson was there recording something, so I got to see him, which was pretty cool.

I am one of four summer interns and they only female, but Sam Levy, another girl from Ohio University, is still here from spring quarter. All the boys are really nice and Sam is so amazing, I adore her. We all get along really well and I'm glad I get to work with such fun people.

I am so excited to continue working here and the relationships I will build. This has already been an amazing experience and I know it will lead to great things! I will try to keep you all updated as them come.

All my Love!

This is the outside to Jim Henson Studios. Our lot used to be Charlie Chaplin studios, so Kermit is dressed as Charlie's character, The Tramp!

This is right outside the building I work in! We call it BOB, which stands for Big Old Building :)

Welp, here I am!

In the past month my my life has changed drastically! I am officially a college graduate (Woot Woot) and I have moved across the country to Los Angeles, California. Being the small town Ohioan that I am, I expect  it will take quite for me to adjust, however I couldn't be more excited! I begin work this Monday, June 27 at The Jim Henson Company. For all of you who aren't as obsessed with children's media as I am, Jim Henson has given us some of the greatest movies ever, The Muppet Movies!! I will be the Creative Affairs Intern there and I cannot say for sure what that all includes, but I will know after Monday. 

I have literally just arrived in my apartment a few hours ago and am settling in quite nicely! My room is a decent size and has a walk in closet, and a bathroom attached to it. I can definitely say it is the cleanest bathroom I have had in the past two years. I am still trying to scope out some furniture but most of that should be taken care of tomorrow. 

Within two hours of being in LA, I managed to make a fool out of myself (not surprising I know). I went to Target with my roommates to get some necessities, and we had to park in a parking garage attached to the store. In the garage were cart racks with carts in them and I said, "Oh my gosh, you have to get your carts out here, that is so weird!" almost immediately I realized that that wasn't where you got the carts but returned them. So to cover my mistake I said loudly, "We don't have that in Ohio." Hopefully no one in the garage staring at me was from Ohio, or cared about me being a dumb blonde.  

It is late and I am exhausted from just driving 36 hours the past three days so I think I will go to sleep! All my Love!

Here are some pictures from my graduation!
