Jillian- Fourth Post

It is so hard to believe the summer is already almost over. Counting today I have twelve days left of my internship, and then it's time to begin the hellacious packing for going back to school. Crazy!

But I don't really feel like things are any crazier in the office, actually. I am used to the hustle and bustle on Tuesday because we go to print that day, and then the lethargic feel of things on Wednesday because most of the staff was here until late. It is routine to me now, which I like to think means I have carved a niche for myself, and as an intern you can't really ask for much more than that.

I finished writing an article yesterday about my trip to Ireland, which they are going to include in next week's issue, I think. I am really lucky that I have been encouraged to write articles about things that interest me, because I get to see many different sides of the same job. Plus, who doesn't like writing about themselves?

I am still trying to get in contact with a guy who is in charge of the end-of-summer fair in Washington County. Even with my woe-is-me intern-schtick (a strategy my boss recommended) he isn't returning my calls or e-mails. I have to say that when I go back to school, that is one part of the job I won't miss.

So even though the summer is winding down, I will have the Ireland article and the Washington County Fair article included in upcoming editions. Plus I am going to a Jason Aldean concert in a few weeks (awesome sauce) and I think I will write about that, too.

I am seriously addicted to seeing my name in print. It's awesome.

Until next time!
