Yeah, no big deal

I started my internship yesterday. I have worked only aproximately five hours in the past two days and I have loved every single minute of it! Yesterday I stuffed envelopes with movie screening passes all morning. While stuffing envelopes I learned ALOT about the Moroch business and what they do. I feel like I'm learning so much... and it's only been two days!!

Then today... I wrote a letter to the mayor. Yeah, no big deal. A LETTER TO THE MAYOR! There is a fundraising event called BOLT ACROSS AMERICA and it's part of promotions for a new animated comedy called BOLT starring John Travolta and Miley Cyrus that is coming out November 26. The movie is about a super-dog named BOLT that stars on a hit TV show. His life is full of adventure and he has superpowers-- at least until the camera stops rolling. He has believed his whole life that his superpowers are real until he is accidently shipped from the Hollywood studio to New York City. Now, he is faced with the biggest adventure of his life-- a cross-country journey. Along the way he meets two unlikely friends, a cat and a hamster, that help him discover that he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.

So that's a synopsis... and now to the letter to the Mayor. Well BOLT ACROSS AMERICA is a fundraiser for ASPCA which is an organization that provides effective prevention of animal cruelty. It started in New York and stops in Hollywood. A giant orange truck with an orange trailor is carrying A GIANT HAMSTER BALL!!! The giant hamster ball is rolling from city to city making appearances to raise money for the local SPCA's. The hamster ball is "bolting" into Houston September 24-26, and I wrote a letter to the mayor asking him to declare one of those days BOLT ACROSS HOUSTON DAY. My letter also asked him if he would take a picture with the hamster ball in front of one of Houston's landmarks such as The City Hall Reflection Pool. *below is a picture of Miley Cyrus with the giant hamster ball*

So I wrote a letter to the mayor today... yeah no big deal. What did you do?!
