Woke up just like any other day ready to face whatever challenges my internship had for me. I started with four eggs accompanied by ham and delicious swiss cheese. Sometimes I feel weird when making this since I rarely see anyone else doing it. But, I still do it anyways, it is delicious! Can we agree on that? GOOD! I love breakfast to be honest. It is the most important meal of the day, at least to me. After breakfast, I used the stairs to get back to my room, on the 18th floor. Breakfast was on the 15th. Now, you might not think it to be much but after a good meal, being out of breath is normal, or maybe I should exercise more? Anyways, I finally got to my room. 8:15am struck. "I'm going to be late" I thought. So I quickly dressed up: Black shoes, black socks, white button-down, navy pants and coat. Next, I grabbed my red and blue Adidas backpack, hoping everything was there; following with my Canon T5i and Rode mic Go (with the dead cat obviously). Out I was. Fast forward to my place of work: Brookfield Place. An area located on Vessey street right in front of the One World Trade Center. Here you will find a variety of restaurants, retailers and cafes. To be honest, this places is waaay too expensive for my taste. Don't get me wrong, I do like to buy certain brands but the ones at this places are ridiculous: Club Monaco, Paul Smith, Theory just to name a few. I've never heard of any of these stores but by doing a little bit of window shopping, I know these are not cheap. Before heading up to officially start working being its 8:55am, I decided to look outside towards the marina. The stage was already set up and ready to go. So was I, at 9am. "Oh crap, I'm late for work" I fast-walk towards the elevator to start my day. I'm not going to bore you with what I do, so lets pretend to fast forward through time to 5pm. Before I even got out of the building, you could hear music. Outside were fans, security, people who work in my building and obviously the production crew talking to customers. Restaurants were full, people has drinks already in hard. Some were in front of the stage under the scorching sun others were in a separate area were food and alcoholic drinks were being served. I walked around for a while and spotted a nice seating area with a sideview towards the stage. I asked the woman sitting if she was holding a spot. "No", great! Guess this is where I'll be all night. I didn't grab any snacks or water due to not losing my spot. 6:45pm and the first performer, Lion Babe, came out. Lion Babe is a New York City soul duo. The've been performing since 2011, according to Wikipedia. I stayed for a couple of songs but my stomach was growling. It came to a point where I felt very uncomfortable waiting there for Common, who was supposed to come out at 8pm. But, knowing artists are rarely punctual, I decided to leave instead. I might've wasted my only opportunity to watch rapper Common, but then again, I am not a huge fan of him anyways.
