Getting There

Only 2 weeks left here at the NJ!

All the stories I've been talking about for the past week or so are finished (wallpaper story finally ran today...gel manicures ran a few days ago...) and I FINALLY found someone for the fedora story to talk to, and today I'm finishing up my volunteerism story. Next, Betsy wants me to pitch something to her.

I'm thinking of asking to write a story about authors in Delaware who self-publish. I've always been curious about how people do that. I think it would be interesting to talk to people and follow their journey from idea to publication. We'll see what she thinks.

I did a great interview for my volunteer story with a 95-year old named Molly who has been volunteering since the 50s. She was adorable, and her family is so excited to see her story in the paper. She must have felt a little famous; I went to see her while she was on the job at Christiana Care, and a photographer and a videographer came too--all eyes were on her!

One of the guys here is having a dinner for all the interns next week so we can talk about our experiences here. It seems weird that it's almost over. I have so many clips from interning here, and that's my tangible proof of all my hard work, but without them it feels like I just breezed in and out of this office for an hour. I'll have worked here for 2 months by the time I leave. Seems short, but I learned so much in a short amount of time.
