Bylines

My first week working with Becky Billingsley has been nothing short of extraordinary. What we do is we go out and find daily restaurant news and some local news. It can be anything from a new sale, different menu, a restaurant opening, renovations, or just a stop by to see what is going on.

So far this week we have eaten at 5 places (my favorite part of the internship). I have written 2 news stories and have gotten my first 2 bylines. :D I even got to interview 3 celebrities!

I am really enjoying this internship and my boss is really nice. I have learned so much already and I know I will learn even more as the summer progresses.

Here are the links to my two stories:

Bikers

TNA Wrestlers

Internship

Following the advice of Mr. Larry Timbs yet again, I find myself with an internship position for the summer.  

If you could write a book full of advice, Mr. Timbs, I would be set for life.  Everything you have said and pushed me to do has turned out for the better. Heck, I am even considering switching to journalism.

Thank you Timbs.  I mean it.

BTW, my internship is under Becky Billingsley, CEO for The Food Syndicate.

long time, no see

It has been a really long time since I last posted, I am sad to say.  I have been bogged down with work and test with the semester coming to an end.  

I am sad to leave my mcom 241 for it is always fun to come to.  I can not help but to learn something new every class.

However, since losing all my music when my computer crashed, I have been youtubing as much of what I remember I had. 

While working on my french songs I found some of the ones that I have forgotten about.  One of my favorites that makes me want to dance is Au Bal Masque by La Compagnie Creole.  

Turn up the volume and listen.  It is a wonderful song.  

Also is the lady from Britain's got talent.  Just listen. Her song is I Dream a Dream from Les Miserables.

Enjoy!

Essays

Essays, ESSays, ESSAYS!!!!! Why do they always surround us?

I have come to the belief that essays are like stairs.  They are a conspiracy against not only me, but the entire world.  They should be banned from schools.  

That is my rant on essays.

In other news, there was a guy shot on ebenezer ave. today at around 2:20 pm.  My friend and I were in our room when we saw the helicopters hovering around the area.  they were there from about 3:00-4:00pm.  It was interesting. 

I get published today...Woot woot.  Once it is actually available, I will link it up.  Toodles!

P.S. wish me luck on my MCOM midterm.  ^^
