Every day I am struck with this feeling that it is all going to end but I will move on and hopefully change the shape of journalism if I come in and show exactly how
I am currently writing for both "The Stormy Petrel" and The Source on campus and it is exciting.
It is very interesting to sit down and write about school activities. I very much enjoy the research aspect of writing stories and interviews.
I find it a little off-putting that schedules don't always work out the way you would like but it is just a part of life. Not every interview is able to work out and compromises have to be made.
Things I have learned already:
- That I love to research fine arts aspects of life (duh!)
- I am growing more fond of light roast coffees
- I still hate how terribly people treat each other
- My co-workers are the most awesome people to deal with
- Non-disclosure forms will have to be signed for an increasing amount of jobs I end up taking
- I should be used to opening the door by now but I still end up smacking myself every now and then when I open the door to Pegasus in the mornings
- The people in Oglethorpe's Communications Department are wonderful and a blast to be with
- We truly are a community. Oglethorpe is it's own little polis if you want to mention the school's core program
- I think better with a little music on
- I probably look crazy dancing in my seat while writing but its fun
- And last on this current list, I need to really find out what exactly my paper topics are again so I can write the papers for this.
I think I would enjoy writing about fine arts as a job but have no expectations other than knowing that I will specifically ask to not be put on a Sports beat.
I don't know how many people will read this. But those who do, thank you very much. I do appreciate it. This is my little confessional corner for this internship.
There will be ups and downs and probably a (censored) swear word every now and then but thank you. Hold on. I will try to post more frequently if anyone reads this.
