The party was held at High Cotton in downtown Greenville, and as "super important intern" I worked the table outside, directing people into the party and handing out complimentary issues of the magazines to passerbys who were curious as to the shenanigans going on inside. I brought Kristin along to help and I was really glad she got to come and meet the people I work with. Being at the party and seeing so many people in support of our first issue really got me excited for working full-time this summer. I love that my friends and I are scattering off and getting internships in our fields. We're making the first big dents in our "career lives" and I can't wait to see the new things we will all learn.Speaking of dents, I made a large one in packing up my room today:
I'm really not ready to leave the 102G yet, but we'll save the nostalgia for a future entry (official move-out isn't until next Friday). Reid came and took down my curtains and helped spackle my room (so glad I landed myself an amazing spackler). I can't get myself to paint over the quote/maps yet...I'm just not ready to part with them! So Alex, Lauren, Reid and I found a meaningful purpose (other than pleasant viewing) for the maps:
It's probably hard to see what's written, so I'll break in down.
In France, we have the birth location of Jeff and the once-home of Ashley (note: Reid's middle school spelling of the word "was"). And in the U.S. we have:
-Kansas: Corey's Home
-California: Taylor's Home (not forever, just at some point)
-A heart linking Corey & Taylor (not even my idea Cor)
-Nashville: My future home
-St. Louis: Kristin & Jimmy's home (whether they like it or not!)
-Greenville: Jeff's future home (w/ his parents)
-Anderson: Lauren & Doug's future home (though Lauren objects)
-Boston: Alex's future home
-York, Maine: Reid's future home
-And we had to label "The Island" for Kristin.
Done. Too bad we hadn't thought to write in the maps earlier in the year. Now I just have to paint over them in a few days...

I'm disappointed as well that we didn't start on this wall earlier. Just imagine what might have been there if we had.
And feel free to visit me in York, ME anytime you want. They'd like you up there.
You should've been labeling (sp?) all along--this is funny.
I will not live in Anderson, SC. Ever.
and we will not be living in st. louis. just wait...and i don't think you should ever paint over your maps. cut them out of the wall if you must!
Woah... Reid and I posted at the same time-CREEPY.
Lauren & Kristin- There is no room for differing opinions here. The map was not a suggestion, but rather truth. You WILL live in Anderson District 1 and St L.
Corey- Please stop being creepy like that. Please.
I refuse.
Anderson district one? please Reid, you know ya boy has got to make that scrilla (yes I tried to think of the most ridiculous word for money), I can do much better than the Electric City. Plus I don't want Lauren to hate me.
