A lot has changed since I first embarked on my journey as an English major at ISU. I was able to gain a bit of experience by working at the Daily Vidette, so my writing skills should be pretty solid by about now. Interestingly enough, the director from my last internship called me in to help him fix a graphic I had created in my last internship, which was an easy fix.
After meeting the UMC team at the Alumni Center's annual NYE Chili cookoff, Susan and I got right down to business. She assigned me two articles: one on the Eunice H. Speer Scholarship winner and the other on two CAST graduate students who were selected for an internship at Johns Hopkins University Medical Center. Both are due the first week of February, which should be a breeze compared to having to write an article in 3 hours. The only tedious part is finding my interviewees when I need them. *Blesses self*
I also got a sneak peek of the February issue. It looks fabulous.
I know it was only my first day, but the atmosphere of UMC is very different than STSS. Everyone at STSS was pretty agreeable (save a few people) but the people here seem to be good-natured and really, really excited to be at work... and so am I!
About Me
- Joanna
- A lot of people would describe me as either odd, fun as hell, too smart for my own good, crazy (in a good way), dynamic, introspective, deep, shy, bashful, awkward, awesome, sweet, and a bunch of other adjectives I can't think of right now. I believe in being an individual without limits or labels. In other words, do your own thing and don't worry what other people may think--life is too short to constantly worry about things. I'm the type that you would find on a cafe corner in shoving her nose into a book with a cup of tea or an espresso, throwing an awesome party with great food and great people, hurling myself around in a mosh pit at a concert, exploring the bowels of Chicago/ trying some new Asian thing, or whatever you may expect of a trendy, artsy fartsy person. I think the little things matter. if they didn't, how would we get the big things?
