Boring day to day stuff
So I’m counting down the days until my internship is over. I will not be having a career in writing for a newspaper I’ve decided. I found out I’m intrigued by history, history that you don’t learn in school, like who is buried in Georgetown’s cemetery and what they are remembered for. Except the article that I wrote on that might not get used because I’m apparently supposed to be writing my cemetery article on expansion issues, things that are more newsy. Except when I asked the cemetery guy about it, he said it’s just talk and they wouldn’t expand for at least another 30 years unless there’s a huge death epidemic or something. So I’m going to try to work on the newsy stuff more tomorrow.
Then I’ll have finished everything I can do, so I’ll ask what I am supposed to do next. Mike, the guy who hired me, still has not talked to me. The main reason I came was to get to do work on this business page, and I switched this internship around with my other one because he said if I started later, they would already have gotten the business page published a few times. So now it seems it won’t happen until I’ve left. I guess that’s the bad part about having the internship last only 7 weeks. But the good thing is that I only have to work there for 7 weeks. I can’t wait til my next internship. I think it will be very interesting, and they know I’m coming.
Oh and Australians resemble my newspaper because they are terrible at communication too it seems. Christi is still in the U.S. when she was supposed to leave for her internship at a hospital in Australia Sunday. But they didn’t inform her that her visa, which she sent in early March, was still not processed because she had to get a chest x-ray. And they just told her this last Friday. I like the accent and I would love to see their beaches, but that’s a little crazy.
