Huh, I have a blog now.
Well, hello there!
Before you keep reading, let me mention that I’m no blog expert. I’ve been working in online journalism for about nine months now, but I’m no techie.
I’m not even sure how I ended up getting this blog. It all started with a tiny voice in my head whispering “Get yourself a blog, it’s what everyone does before they start an internship.” I guess that’s true. I don’t want to help clog up the blogosphere with yet another mundane website chronicling the day-to-day hardships of some starry-eyed intern, but we’ll see what happens. Maybe I’ll strike pixel gold or something like that.
So, to get to the point, I’m starting my first internship next month. I’m finishing up my junior year of college at George Mason University right now (just finished my 20-page history research paper yesterday!) and I’m about to embark on a completely unfamiliar journey. I’ll be working with a new org in Harrisburg, Pa. starting in June, and in late August I will be saying “adieu!” to the great US of A and hopping over the pond to London, England for the Fall semester working as an intern while taking classes. Pretty cool, huh?
It’s a bit odd knowing that I’m leaving so soon. Not only have I never left the nest, but I’ve only moved once in my life and that was only a mile away from my old house. I’m a native Northern Virginian (raise your hand if you can’t drive in snow, NOVA friends), so the idea of packing up and essentially living in a completely different place for six months of this year is intimidating to say the least. But, I think this will help, and I appreciate you being part of my journey, if even for just this moment.
That’s where I’m at on this Saturday evening/early Sunday morning as I listen to Guards’ Sail It Slow. I really just wanted to get this up and running for now.
I’ll leave it with that. Take care reader, and make sure to wish your mom a Happy Mother’s Day for me.
