a breeze

I have to admit that, when you happen to enter a place with awe it deteriorates gradually as time goes by. Well this internship is starting to feel like work. I don't mean boring, but more like the fact that I'm starting to know a lot more people from the station. It's great, people say their greetings and we move off to work. It's almost non stop, I love it. Ultimately the duties as an intern don't seem as challenging, at least yet. I'm working on the quickness of a newswriter and the flow of a production assistant. By the way, I've tried to talk my way in to doing some production assisting and in a news room that means running the teleprompter setting up some wires.

My intern coordinator Sara is good at setting up these things and it makes my stay feel worth while. I can't say it'll get worse, but I can't say it'll get better either. I'm on a boat and riding the energy of the ocean. I must follow the direction, but not follow it. Never the less I am still learning, not as much as I wanted today but its going to get there.

I have to mention though that the printing and script checks are intense. Let me explain; after all the news writers write out their script for a show like the noon show for example, we take all of it and print it out with the show's rundown or schedule. Then my job is to check off if we have any missing scripts that were part of the show or if any reprints have to be made. Real awesome. I know I'm excited on the little things but thats how stoked one can get, about his future especially. So I'll mark off the scripts there and circle the ones missing or having any problems. This sounds straight forward but with the speed and quick pace energy from a news station its intense.

Besides doing this internship I've still concentrated on my hobbies of filmmaking and photography. I put those two together since the art concepts of design or composition are the same. Speaking of design, I won't be able to mess with as much graphic design as I'd like to but it'll sneak in some where, so my work in the graphic arts will keep moving on up. Alright for now, I'll have to go.
