Intern Work

I actually have interned twice this week, because Monday the Convention was off for Easter still and Wednesday I was sick. I didn't know that the Convention had off Monday, but it was no big deal. Tues. and Wed. were pretty typical workdays interning with, again, no big projects but normal busy, office work to bide my time. Tues. I looked over newspapers from the past week to see what new events could be added to the new website. I found a couple and still need to add one more that Lauryn found and e-mailed me. Also, I need to add a business's information on our site, since they just mailed their info sheet in for advertisement. Today I did some bulks orders, and when I say that it means I filled about 100 brochure packets with about 6 different brochures and our Visitor's guides to send out to other people that request them. This usually requires no brain activity, but it is not my fault as I am the intern and I do what people tell me to do.

There are some really nice people at the Convention. The sports director is really friendly and had me do a couple things for him today. I had to file and sort some papers of his to help him organize for a project. But, he always takes time to out and will sit there for like half hour just getting to know me --the intern--, haha. Like today he asked me where I was from, and what I was planning on doing after graduation. Everyone else is nice as well, Cindy wasn't there today but has been a lot lately. But basically, I have found it is really interesting working there. My favorite project thus far is the Retirement Times article I had to write. They even have a website where my article is written. I thought that was pretty cool. Right now, I'm focusing largely on the web portfolio, but after working with Dreamweaver, I don't really feel comfortable with the site. It's not my cup of tea, but if I could figure it out, who knows it might be totally awsome. I am looking for other things to work on right now. My coworker, Lauryn told me that she used Moonfruit.com but she actually paid to access the site, and I would rather not do that. Who knows, I may just create another page from Google. My old one I created for tech. writing is dormant but I can easily just set up another account. So right now, the portfolio and poster are foremost on my priorities.
