(Written Yesterday)

I wrote this yesterday, but then the Internet went down:

Hello!

The last few days have been quite eventful. Tuesday I had work and left early to go to the hockey game with the other interns. Once I got there, it was a really neat experience. But on the way there.... Let's just say the Metro system and I (when I am separated from my group) don't mix very well. It was quite comical, and I learned a lot about the metro both going to the game and coming back from the game....

Anyways, the game was awesome! Before the game, all of us EY people had vouchers for a meal in a club room. It was a lot of fun to talk to a lot of the interns and eat a good meal. The Capitals played the New York Islanders. We had really good seats, right up near the ice. The Capitals were losing 0-1 almost the whole game, but in the last fifty seconds they scored and went into overtime. And then in overtime, they scored and won! I had never been to a hockey game before, and I really enjoyed all of the excitement and "flashy-ness" of it. It reminded me of a college basketball game. I hope to go again someday!

Yesterday was just another day at the office. We wrapped up a lot of the preliminary tax information-gathering for one of my clients, and it is about time to actually start working on the tax returns for it. I also helped out another senior on his project by updating the partner demographics of one of his companies in our tax return system, GoSystems.

Today I helped different people out with little projects. Since I am going to Memphis next week to work on a major client's provision, a lot of my big projects are winding down in order to clear out my schedule. The most eventful type of work I did today was do some research in the SEC filings online to find sources for the senior manager to use to compile some legal documents.

I'm loving life as a Big Four intern! The people are great, and the work is interesting. I'm also very surprised at the flexibility in the office.

Thanks for reading!
