Friday was an absolute blast! Working with the NHDP was such a wonderful experience. We arrived at 8:30 in the morning and helped in setting up for the event, we laid down programs, and pins, and designated the reserved seats in the audience. That took a while, considering there were quite a few tables and seats in the arena.
Between 12:30 and 3:00 the secret service had to sweep the building. We tried to arrange a ride to the office during the break, but we couldn't, so we went to lunch.
At 2:45, we went back the arena for the rest of our shift with the NHDP. Since we were familiar with the layout of the arena, we were responsible for helping with VIP check in, we escorted the VIP guests to their seats on the floor and in the sky boxes. I worked at Outback Steakhouse as a hostess, so this was my time to shine! I felt like I did really well.
On Saturday, we met with Professor Dante Scala over breakfast and talked about his book. It was really nice meeting him and hearing him speak, it was great. After that, we went to our internship placements. We did some phone banking and some canvassing. It was a relatively low-key day. Just really pushing people to Get Out the Vote on Tuesday.
And today, Super Bowl Sunday. We left the office at 6pm, because there really wasn't anything going on. I figured that people really wouldn't take too well to canvassers and phone bankers interrupting their Super Bowl activities.
