S'more of my life in the city!

This week has been so awesome! I can't believe that my second week in the city is almost over that means I only have 8 left! I've made some great memories again!

Fox is still amazing! It's more fun now that I've been there for over a week because you can really see everyone's personality and the dynamic of the place. It's really fun! Wednesday, Roger Ailes the CEO of Fox and senior Advisor to Rupert Murdoch spoke to the interns. He's obviously experienced so much success in his career, yet he is still just the same old guy. It was really neat to hear some of his stories from his career. He also gave a lot of career advice to all of us interns. He said you want to be the person who they call into the room when there's a problem. You want people to trust you and this is an opportunity for you to stand out. He said the news business is hard because it does require you to spend time away from your family and nothing is ever just given to you. He also said if you want to be an anchor it's better if you don't have a high pitched voice otherwise they will send you to work on your vocals. I think I'm ok on this. He also said higher degrees aren't a requirement. Which is making me rethink my future, but I know God will figure it all out just like he has every other time so I'm not going to worry about. I'll try my best and let God do the rest. I know I'm not here because of me.

I am working on the Cost of Freedom Shows and sometimes we help with Neil Cavuto's show. He also has a show on the Cost of Freedom segment that airs on the weekends. Yesterday, he bought us all lunch- take out chinese! I ordered fried rice and got to eat in one of those cute little chinese carriers, which I've never eaten out of before.

On the way back to my dorm it was raining and I walked back in my flip flops because it's uncomfortable to wear heels while walking through the city. Plus knowing me I'd fall over and probably break my leg. By the time I got home my flip flops were sopping wet. Next time I'm taking the subway when it rains. The other intern and I found this whole city underneath our building! You can buy everything from flowers to food underground and the subway runs under our building too.

Last night, my roommates and I went to this italian restaurant on the corner. It was delicious and the best part was we all had leftovers. None of us have really cooked. We only have a stove top and the burners are really small, so it seems like it would take forever to cook anything. I usually just eat sandwiches and chips or get something to eat. I had chicken fettucine alfredo. Then we went to Crumb's it's a chain, but they are only in bigger cities. There aren't any in Kansas unfortunately. They have cupcakes that are pretty good size and filled with a filling inside. They are delicious! I had the s'more and it was wonderful! It was a chocolate cupcake with marshmallow frosting and chocolate chips on the top and walnuts around the outside. The inside was filled with the marshmallow frosting too!

This week I also signed up to be one of the interns who works Fox Fan's night at a Mets game towards the end of the month. It's an event that Fox does and the interns help put together and then hand out stuff at the game! I'm really excited just to be more involved and meet other interns!

Tomorrow is Friday and we tape all of our shows that will air on Friday, so it should be a busy day! If not then me and Lauren, the other intern in the department will scour the green room for pop and cookies and soak up the sun outside! I'm excited to see what another weekend in the city holds!!
