The Ball

I'm pretty much the worst blogger in the world posting every other week. But hey, at least I am still writing a post!

The past week was quite busy and filled with long hours to prepare for the National Symphony Orchestra Ball, which was last night. It was to kick off the season for the NSO and Kennedy Center. I helped with the seating chart and ticket packages. I also coordinated a flower recovery program, which local hospitals could come the night of the event to collect flowers from the arrangements that would have been thrown away otherwise.

Yesterday was so amazing to be part this large event. Everyone was decked out in tuxedos and ball gowns. The event space was incredible! Once I find some pictures, I will definitely put them up. A large white tent was rented and the colors were purple and gold. I was a runner at the registration table and then helped in the tent before dinner. And the most amazing part, especially since I was told that this never happens, I got to sit for the dinner with some of the other staff members. I was just in awe that I was eating dinner along with important donors and people of Washington. It was also amazing at the end when I got to take off my shoes and go to bed. The next event is the Mark Twain Prize honoring Bill Cosby at the end of October.

This week, I am going on a White House tour with the other interns. I have never been inside the White House so definitely had to take advantage of the sign up. I am going to look for Michelle and ask if she likes my style.
