{settling into LA}

So I've been here a little over two weeks. In some ways it feels like I got here yesterday, but in other ways.... In other ways it feels like I've been here for months.

First & foremost...I love the weather. It was a bit chilly last week, but the temp has risen & it's been glorious!  Sunny, warm weather makes me a happier person, so I'm basically smiling 24/7 here.  {And it surely beats the negative temps back East!}

Like I mentioned last week, I LOVE my job. I seriously can't wait to go to work each morning.  The women in my little department are so nice & hilarious & just plain old entertaining to be around. {They're also very patient with me while I learn the ropes of this job.} Working on a television set is more exciting than I anticipated {& my bar was pretty high}. The air is always buzzing, people are constantly on the move, & I've even learned a lot from Dr. Phil by just watching each episode :)  & I've seen a few celebs!

For those wondering... I am the Stage/Talent intern. Basically my department takes care of all the guests who appear on the show. I get them from their car, bring them up to the dressing room, put them through hair/makeup/wardrobe, get them from the stage, etc. It's all fun, important work.

I'm also finally getting used to my new routine. Since my day starts so early, the night before I set out my clothes, make my lunch, & pack my bag. I don't want to wake up my roommate/be loud, so I like everything to be ready in the morning.

Here's my day Monday--Wednesday:

5:10am: Alarm goes off.
5:15am: Shower & get dressed.
5:25am: Breakfast/Check email.
5:45am: Clean my dishes.
5:50am: Put on makeup.
6:00am: Out the door!
6:15am: Arrive at Paramount.

6:30pm--3:00pm-ish: Work! We tape two shows a day so I'm busy busy busy all morning!  We eat lunch when the second show is taping.
3:15pm: Arrive at home. Change out of my work clothes.
3:30pm--6:20pm: Errands/Catch up on tv/homework.
6:20pm: Leave for class.
7:00pm-10:45pm: Class. {Tuesday/Wednesday}
11:00pm: Home, make tea, pajamas, bed.

Tuesdays & Wednesdays are gonna be rough. It's a long day. But the GREAT news is that my job rocks & my classes are awesome. So it's all good.

There's so many things on my to-do list while I'm here I fear I will run out of time!

Any readers out there have any suggestions? Any LA places I must see? {Besides Disney, obvs, because that's clearly #1.}  Tell me!!
