4th of July!

Sorry it has taken me so long to update! Still living the life in AZ.  I took a small break from work on the 4th of July to try and hit a beach in CA for the day. Won't lie, the weather was not awesome. Next time I'll make sure I pack my sweater. I was surprised to learn that there is this thing called "June Gloom" ( is that how you say it?)  in San Diego. Apparently  it takes a couple hours for it to warm up every day. Not sure if I love that since apparently I love to wake up to 100 degrees every day.  Special shout out to Rashizz for spending the day with me and taking me to Coronado! I am in love with that place! I definitely want to spend some more time there.

Hawaii 101

I went to Hawaii for the first time ever this past weekend! It was as amazing as everyone says and I'll probably go back a couple more times before this internship is over. Why not?!

A couple life lessons I learned in Hawaii:

• If the locals aren't touching the sea turtles, you shouldn't be either. There's a 1,000 dollar fine apparently.
• Fish exhibit aggressive behavior. Even when you aren't doing anything to harm them.
• Don't stand on the coral.
• I hate when people say Aloha in sacrament meeting.
• Rachelle cried when she heard her favorite baseball player got traded. I've met some pretty hardcore baseball fans but I've never seen them cry. Mariners' fans are no joke.

CHQ

So at my job anytime you turn in a work order to get anything done, or if you meet people from other buildings one of the first questions asked is always " What building do you work in?" Maybe it's the snob in  me but I always feel a sense of pride when I say I work at Corporate Headquarters.  I LOVE saying it. I love how it sounds. I love how it makes me feel. I love it all.  Anyway, as interns we were able to take tours of all of the buildings in Arizona.  I was able to control the helicopter simulation, I actually climbed into one of the rafts that airplanes carry. I was able to get up close and personal with the airplanes and with the conveyor system  that takes your baggage when you check it. Those systems are so complex! I loved being able to go into the control tower at the airport. It was nice to be able to see how the business works from top to bottom.  The airline industry is an exciting and interesting business to work in.
