The internship of all internships

So my summer of US-lovin' finally came to an end. It was a bittersweet ending, though. After visiting 19 states in 3 months, I was ready to finally go home and sleep in my bed again. However, I do sometimes still wish I lived in a hotel. It's so convenient. But alas, life goes on. 

My next internship rivals my last on the cool factor. I'll have to hold off a final judgment until after this one is over, but so far, it's giving my zaggternship a run for its money. 

Say hello to my new place of work: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Office Building. It just happens to be the second tallest building in the whole state of Utah. 

I love getting to be on temple square every day! It's so great!

I am working as an editorial intern for the Church's magazine, the Ensign. So far it's awesome. I've been able to write quite a few articles that may or may not be published starting mid-to-late next year. Sometimes I do random little research projects, sometimes I edit or proofread articles. Lots of source checking. Ah, the life of an intern...

Here's a picture of my with a kitty that someone brought in. I could hear murmurings from all those allergic-to-cats people, and I felt sad for them. Here's one of the kitties trying his best to jump out of my hands. I won. :)

A few of the other interns and I went down for adopt-a-plant day. It only comes around once a month, so we had to take advantage. Here's Nichole with her new plant, Spike. I'm obsessed with it. 

So far as I know, Ryan hasn't named his plant yet. I'll double check though.

My  pretty plant. It looks pretty fake, I'll be honest. Name suggestions?

I have since ruled out any kind of future as a gardener....

I don't know what I did to it :(

Here is Nichole and I at our desks. Yes I'm wearing my lu'au outfit. It was the BYU/Utah game, and that skirt is one of the few BYU-blue items of clothing I own, so I kind of had to. Right? 

And here's my desk. So exciting, huh?

Granted, there are days when I feel a lot like this... 

Bored much?

But then there are the days when we go walk around the temple on our lunch break and have to ask elderly people to take pictures for us. And then we are late getting back from our lunch break. Haha.

I was oh-so-happy when someone kindly pointed out to me that this little board thing under my desk was, in fact, a heater. Who would disguise a heater to look like a random piece of wood? I ask you. 

So, there you go. A few little tidbits about my internship with the Ensign!
