Comming to an End

After about three months, I finally picked an end date for my internship, which tentatively, is Aug. 18. I think I have learned all that I can from this experience. I've learned a little and wrote a lot. I've had a lot of fun and met some nice people. I especially liked working with Erin and Ken. I will never forget my first and second day there. It was really awesome how I got to dive right in. But now, I think I'm ready to move on. I'm starting to get busy and I need to concentrate on finding a career. I've come to realize that this internship will probably not help me get a job around here--because there aren't any. But it will give me the clips and experience to get a job somewhere else. So far, I've applied for two copyeditor positions and recieved a call from both. Both of them will get back with me in one or two weeks for an interview, so now all I can do is play the waiting game. Meanwhile, I will wrap things up at the Kokomo Tribune and try to get all of my personal framing projects done at Hobby Lobby so that I can purchase them with my discount.

Adding to the work load

Well, it's been five weeks. So far I've written the best bets every week, a press release about a barbershop convention, worked on the answer book, and observed Ken Bastide's interviews. I feel ready to add some weight to my workload--now that my cold is almost over. I want to be assigned more stories, or maybe pitch a few ideas of my own. One of the writers did request that I help him with some of his articles. I eagerly agreed. Maybe I'll finally get to write something with a byline.
