Make the most out of every opportunity
Hello OKC!
After a few weeks of work I decided it’s about time I get to blogging about who I am and my experiences here in OKC.
First, I’ll begin by introducing myself; my name is Andrea Giacalone. Yes, complicated I know. It does not sound at all like it looks, phonetically… jackaloney, like, rhymes with macaroni. Hope that little lesson helped!
I recently just graduated from Ball State University with a degree in Journalism Graphics and am an intern in the Art Department here at The Oklahoman. It’s been an exciting time since I packed up my bags and moved to Oklahoma City!
I moved in with a wonderful young lady, Lauren; she sings and is very talented (check her out at laurenraquelmusic.com).
- Lauren performing at Myriad Garden during the first Sunday Twilight Concert Series.
I have been able to travel to Tulsa, Fort Worth, Wichita, and back home to Kansas City.
I have spent a lot of time exploring Bricktown and the surrounding areas of OKC. It’s been such a fun time to be here with the Thunder doing so well in the Playoffs – EVERYTHING revolves around the Thunder right now, including the inside of our office and the Thunder donuts from Krispy Cream.
- The elevators here at work, clever!
My favorite place to spend time at in OKC is Myriad Gardens; I LOVE this place! On Sunday nights I have attended the Twilight Concert Series. I would highly recommend this, the atmosphere and music makes for a great time!
Equally awesome was meeting James Marsden when some of the interns and I went to see a film during the deadCENTER Film Festival.
- At Myriad Gardens for the showing of Under African Skies
- James Marsden, who is from OKC, was SO excited to meet Olivia and I! But then again, who wouldn’t be?! ☺
Knowing that I’m leaving in a month and a half is crazy; time is already flying, but for now, I’m reminding myself daily that I must take every opportunity to make the most out of my very remarkable life and I hope you enjoy following along while I’m here in OKC.
Enjoy!
