Hellooooo everybody
I just got back from a wonderful Easter weekend at home in Pine Beach. It was a really great weekend...probably one of the best I've had in a long time. I got to see all of my best friends, and hang out all weekend with the family. Ben came along for the weekend too, and he got to meet all my friends and hang out with the ones he already knew, as well as enjoy the Jersey Shore and a McKenna-fam Easter basket.
Here's the bunny cake we made: (I also made some yummy brownies)
I actually had a full week of vacation mode :). I spent last Saturday until Wednesday in Vero Beach Florida at the Disney Resort. Chris had a baseball tournament nearby, which Mom & Dad were going to, so we made a vacation out of it! Doodle has a time share with Disney, so we were able to stay in a sweet villa in Vero Beach. The trip was totally relaxing and fun, and I got some good bonding time with Mom & Doodle. I went to one of Chris' baseball games. It was great to see him play! He did awesome, and I hadn't seen the South team play at all since I was in high school.

While I haven't been at work in over a week (vacation! oye), I really love our new office building (The Letterman building). There's much more space for everyone, the film studio is much nicer, and the interns have our own desks and space. It's great :). Also, the other day, I saw Paul Schaffer (of the Letterman band :)) just chilling in the lobby downstairs, so that was pretty cool. We also rearranged the film studio so it's a "newsroom" setup, so you will be able to see either the back of my head or me walking around pretty much every night :). I've been kind of in a slump at work, just because it's become so routine, and I am starting to get sick of doing "intern" things. But I just need to focus and finish the experience strong!
This week, I'll be up in Boston for the TGWW REVUE! I'm so excited to see the show and see all my friends. TGWW is also having a Voting Meeting for new Executive Board positions, so I will be going to that too.
I am making some progress in terms of accomplishing my goals for the time I'm in New York. I still haven't really accomplished any of the "big" ones, but we're getting there! This experience is more than halfway over :(.
Love and happiness to everybody! And enjoy this gorgeous sunny weather :).

Getting Settled in NYC :)
Hello :) Welcome to my blog!
For anyone who doesn't know, I moved to New York City two weeks ago today! I am here to do an internship with Entertainment Tonight/The Insider. I am doing it through a Co-op program at Northeastern, and I will be here for six months (until the end of June). I am living in a cute apartment in the Upper East Side with my friend Ben.
So far, work has been great! I have been working for two weeks...I work from 9am to 6pm Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. My tasks include logging daily morning television shows, going on tape runs around the city, following the camera crews to shoots, directly assisting producers and directors, sending show footage out to the LA office, and whatever other random tasks come my way. It's definitely a very "day-to-day" job, but I love that I never know what to expect! I've met some random celebrities already that have come in to interview, and I can't wait to see who else I will get to meet and what else I will get to do. Also, Entertainment Tonight/The Insider's office is currently located in Paramount Plaza at 50th and Broadway, which is an amazing building/location, but we will be relocating in March to set up the office in the building where they film Late Show with David Letterman :) So excited for that!
While my main reason for being here is to work at ET/The Insider, I also have some other goals I hope to accomplish while I'm here. Ben and I each made a list of goals that we'd like to accomplish during our time in NYC and posted the lists on the fridge so we're constantly reminded of what we want to do :). A few of mine are: To be the most impressive intern at ET/The Insider, to audition for Broadway, to write and record 10 songs, and to be consistently running about 14 miles a week by June 30th. (There are a bunch more...I have a lot that I want to do! :))
Here's some pictures of my apartment!
Living room/music room :):
Master Bedroom (Ben's for the 1st 3 months!):
View from the master bedroom:Smaller bedroom (mine for the 1st 3 months):
Kitchen:
Cute, right?! :)
Also, Ben and I went to see HAIR on Broadway the other night! It was AMAZING. I had been wanting to see it for a long time now, and I'm so glad I did...loved every second of it! Here's a picture of me with one of the stars of the show, Will Swenson:
We also went and explored the city a little bit the other day...here are some pics!
Horse & Carriage in Central Park!:
Rockefeller Center:
FAO Schwarz Toy Store :):
Ice skating in Central Park:
Here's me with a coffee-cup that fits around the amount of caffeine I normally consume in a day :P:
So I will be using this blog to write about my experience here in New York City! I'll be posting pics of work, friends, the city, and any random adventures I happen to have :). Hope you enjoyed reading this....Leave some comments with any questions or advice you have :)
Love,
Katie
