I got to the internship today and discovered that, not only was I going to be the marketing intern, I would be taking on the task of two people in the marketing department who are leaving soon. That's right, I'm doing the work of two full-time employees as an intern. Needless to say, that part-time job I was looking for seems very impossible. On my first day today, I was in the office for 8 hours and had already attended two client meetings, as well as been brought up to date on how these projects were going. Daunting. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my day and hope that this means I have a better chance at a full-time position starting in August. Makes sense, right? I don't think that they would have an intern do all this work just to hire someone else to do the same job a few months down the line. That's my thought process anyways.
This past weekend my bro-ha, BN came down to visit B and I. It was a pretty chill time. He really only spent one full day here, but we went to Millenium Park and the Field Museum for Memorial Day. Actually, we only went to the Field Museum because it was sweltering out, but got to see the Whale exhibit which we were all pretty excited about. We ended the day with a game of Monopoly. The game didn't go well.
Three final things for today:
1) My mom went in for hip surgery today. She had to have her whole left hip replaced because apparently it was just bone on bone. Papa K says she's doing well, but I'm going to try to go up to visit and help out next week.

3) Today is B's last day in Chicago until the middle of July :-(

| It's a good thing we don't like each other. |
