Just a Workin' Girl!

This week was my first experience of a full week of work!

Holy cow am I tired! It was a huge week!

First of all, last weekend I went to China Town and witnessed New Year celebrations! It was awesome! We hung out at some friend's house in China Town for a while and then at 12:00 we all went outside an saw a bunch of people dressed up as dragons and they were moving from Chinese restaurant to Chinese restaurant doing a dance around the firecrackers that were being set off! It was really exciting and there were tons of people in the streets. People were standing on the snow mounds along the streets. Below are a few pictures.

On Sunday I went to a church nearby and after there was dinner for the homeless and anyone who attended. It was neat because we were able to meet a lot of new people. AND Sunday was Valentines day so in honor I will add the below picture.

Just the typical Philly picture;)

Monday felt long because of my classes, then Tuesday through Friday I was at work from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. This week, I did various different tasks at work. Some include..

-Attending 2 sales tours of the hotel for representatives of competing hotels.

-Attended the business meeting every morning that included all the sales women.

-Attended the "stand-up" meeting every morning which included managers in charge of events, The Coffee Bar (the cafe in the hotel), Tavern 17 (the restaurant in the hotel), housekeeping, maintenance, sales, reservations and front desk.

-Went through a computer training program for Delphi which creates BEOs which are Banquet Event Orders. This program is used by all departments in the office I work in.

-Attended a sales meeting with a bride and her wedding planner.

-Designed the screen shots that appear on the TVs outside event space.

-Created labels for brochures and stapled sales packets.

-Set up and preformed a Site Inspection.

Tonight one of my roommates and I went to a really delicious Crepe restaurant a block away! We split a berry crepe with vanilla ice cream! It was so tasty! After dessert we went to a friend's house to hang out with other people from the Center.

Tomorrow I need to go and buy some more vegetables at the Italian Market and finish up my homework. Then Monday starts another week:)
