06/24/2008: "Internship"

music: None
mood: Nonchalant

Hello! Sorry for the lack of updates. The summer is going by swimmingly. I'm doing my internship with the river nonprofit group, and it's going pretty well. It's so strange to have a real-world job and have independence to make my own decisions. I'm required to keep a journal on a day by day basis for my college credit, but I probably won't share that here. Most of it is pretty boring... just ramblings about my concern over the direction I'm working in or the conflicts I had in helping with a fishing camp while retaining my vegan belief system. Overall I'm doing several things - creating a media kit for the organization, working on the website, helping with canoe trips and summer camps, finding venues for a public service announcement, filming a video for a YouTube contest, and applying for a Google Grant. I'm just trying to keep organized due to my OCD tendencies and that prevents me from feeling stressed.

Life in general is somewhat interesting. I'm staying with Josh because it's closest to my internship, but I do greatly miss home and my puppies. Living with four other guys that are complete slobs is also not fun. I spend most of my time there just cleaning up after them. But at least I have Josh... and our hamster Mango... and my fishy. Our one year anniversary is coming up soon so I'm pretty excited about that!

I really would like to keep this site more updated. Right now I don't have much traffic coming here or anything. Tomorrow I have a day off from work so hopefully I'll get some stuff done with the content. I've been trying to plan out a new layout as well.
