Katie's Blog: I'm Just Sayin . . .

I am very excited for this next week?

Why? Well . . .

On Monday, I have the first meeting for my summer internship. Have I mentioned that before? Well, if I haven't, I will be having a part time internship with Utah Peoples Post. A few weeks before the end of the semester, one of the people that work for this website came into my journalism class and said they were looking for summer interns to write for them, learn new journalistic skills, and what not. He told us to email him if we were interested, so I did. I figured it's never too early to start on getting experience, so I sent him an email. He replied very quickly, and, lo and behold, he said they'd love to have my aboard. So on Monday we are going to have a meeting at 8 in the morning (ugh . . . ), where we will discuss the details of what we will be doing this summer. We already had one assignment -- to write an article about ourselves and what we are passionate about. It was really fun to write! But yeah, I'm so excited about this opportunity! So bookmark the site I linked too; I'll hopefully have an article up every week.

On Tuesday, I start my new job. After being called several times by the Census, I was able to finally take one of the positions. Granted, it was one of the lesser paying ones, BUT, it pays more than my job at the Clinic (and I'll get 40 hours . . . I was going to get 20, probably at most. That wasn't going to cut it. Though I'll still be subbing there over the summer, no fear!). Fortunately, I won't be going door to door. I will be working in the Census office. From 8:00 to 4:30 Monday through Friday. I'm not really sure what I'll do with myself after I get after work. I mean, I'm not going to school . . . so I won't have any homework (because, prior to contrary belief, I did do homework and study every now and then). We'll see. Maybe I'll make gourmet dinners every night. With the money that I am going to get from donating plasma again (sorry mother/sisters/anyone else concerned by this practice).

And the best part of my week is on Friday. I'm going home! For Daniel and Charbel's wedding reception. It's only going to be a quick trip, but I'm SO excited. I haven't seen my Colorado family in forever. I miss them tons! Forrest is coming with me, which makes the trip that much better. We are going to fly Friday afternoon after Forrest's class gets out. And then that night, Daniel and Charbel will get in. I'm so happy that after 8 months, they finally get to be together for good. It will be so nice to have Charbel in Provo finally :)

But yes. I'm really excited about this week. Cortney and I just moved into our new apartment at the Colony, which is huge compared to the Riviera. I'm really excited to see what the next few months holds! :)
