Busy, busy, busy...
So I think I bit off more than I can chew. In just a week, I went from just doing daily's to having a whole slew of things lined up for my plate this week including an interview with an author on Tuesday (7AM I might add), a profile on facebook due later that day and then my ride along with Verizon on Friday (Yeah, I stole it Adeel, what you going to do about it :)
Needless to say, I will be heading to the office on a Saturday after I finish with this blog. Finally, I am starting to enjoy business writing. It only took 3 weeks of trying to fight it but seeing my name in the newspaper and making all these contacts in Denver has broken me down.
Like Ashley and Vincent, I miss school as well. I REALLY miss school because I had to take last semester off for health reasons and sitting at home watching TV all day got old around January. There is actually a lot to do in Denver - I just haven't had the time or the person to do it with. Two of the cooler interns work the 4PM-12AM copydesk shift and the other reporter who works on the city desk is how would you say...a weirdo, so I have been spending a lot of my free time cooking (I'm really good, i swear), and sleeping. Luckily the sports editor at The Post starts July 4th and I actually know him so I will have at least one friend.
I mentioned Facebook - did you know a venture capital firm is investing $13 million on the website (money = business story). And I searched The Post archives and they ran even a general story on facebook so I pitched the story to my editor and he loved it. Of course nobody has heard of it so here I am showing them my profile and I'm like maybe this isn't the best idea to be showing them my profile as some of my friends have said some things on my wall...but anyways, that should be running on Wednesday.
By the way, they are expanding to all 1400 colleges by mid August...and a little trivia, can you guess which college has the most students on facebook. If anyone gets it, I'll give you some Denver Post swag.
Am I the only one who is already looking for internships next summer?
Alright, off to my corner cube I go...
