I can’t believe my internship here at INTERNeX has come to an end! Wednesday is really an odd day to end, isn’t it?
To be honest with you, I was a complete nervous wreck when I first started way back in January. Everything was so overwhelming and every single task terrified me. As soon as I heard that I might be the only PR intern working, I was seriously worried…had I made the right choice? But of course, the answer was yes. I don’t think I’ll ever regret this…especially because I was able to meet so many wonderful people. To everyone (including those who have already left Vancouver), although it might have been a short time, I had so much fun and thanks for being AWESOME.
I’ll always remember our hilarious pub nights, trips on the weekends, the beautiful and fun Rockies trip, and of course that amazing pub and club night last Friday. I want to let you all know that you have impacted my life in so many ways. To all the staff in the office, thank you for being so encouraging and supportive. It’s actually weird that I have to leave…I was just getting so comfortable here!
What’s next for me, you ask? Well, it’s back to being a student for the moment. Yep, that means textbooks and exams (no more pub nights for me on weekdays…no tequila shots). And after that, who knows! But I’ll still be around in Vancouver so we can hangout!
I want to leave with a quote (you might have read it on my desk frame), “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened” -Dr. Seuss. What an incredible, amazing, lovely, humbling, fun, and most of all, learning, experience. I’ll miss everyone and not being the one in charge haha but hey, it’s my turn to sit back.
note* I think out of all my blog posts, this was the hardest to write. I just didn’t know where to begin.
See you around,

Movie and Games and Potluck Night at the Office!
In just a week, it will be St. Patrick’s Day! What does this mean? Lot’s of drinking, music festivals, and fun events! On Saturday March 9th, there is a special FREE kick-off celebration on March 9 at the Village on False Creek (the former Olympic Village). It’s a family-friendly afternoon of free Celtic music, dance, food and fare featuring artists from CelticFest including: The North Shore Celtic Ensemble, SwingReel,Blackthorn and Vagabonds.
Are you a fan of poutine?! Then you’d love this awesome festival starting tomorrow noon until evening! The festival includes entertainment for all ages, rock concert, and experimental poutine tasting!
With only couple of days left to go before March, let’s celebrate another new month by going out for a pub night! This Wednesday (which is tomorrow), we will be meeting at the Library Public Square House at 7:30 pm! Though I have been to this place only once, I remember they had a foosball table and tons of other games! It’s also really nice because the pub is just outside the Vancouver Public Library!
First and foremost, this Sunday we will be heading down to Chinatown to watch the Chinese New Year Parade that happens every year in Vancouver! This is a great way to learn about the Chinese culture, enjoy some delicious Chinese cuisine and watch spectacular shows! So come out with us this Sunday!
Were you busy during the week and on actual Valentine’s day? Don’t worry, the celebration of love doesn’t stop! This weekend, there will be tons of clubs in Vancouver that are partying it up with Valentine’s day as their theme! Check out these clubs in Vancouver:
