Good Ideas = Free Ice Cream

Yesterday after a long day at work I decided to go to the Dairy Queen because I had about an hour to kill. *stabs time repeatedly* I pondered about what I wanted. I didn't want anything that would ruin my dinner and I didn't want it to be expensive.

The girl said, "What will ya have?"
I replided with, "Umm, I guess I'll just have an ice cream cone."

I started to get my wallet out to pay for the creamy delight when the girl handed it to me. I wanted to say, "Excuse me, can't you hold it while I pay you. Geez!" Instead I stumbled over my words, "Wh. . . it." She looked at me and explained that it was free. She was puzzled because I didn't know that it was *turns on echo and makes trumpet noises* Free Cone Day! *turns off echo* I was stunned and thanked the girl. I went to sit down, eat my cone, and read my book.

How is my internship going you wonder? Well, it seems to be going just fine. I have to admit that my day in promotions is better than it is in news. I feel more in my element here. I like my co-workers downstairs, but promotions work is what I'm meant to do. I'm working on a ten second spot for the KBJR radio station 87.7 FM and I enjoy that. My boss, Chriss a.k.a. Hussman, even liked my ideas. He asked my opinion on something and I told him instead of text I thought it would be neat to have a car. He said, "Really?" He sounded interested and now I get to illustrate the commercial! Can you imagine what a great portfolio piece that would be??? *is excited* I'm going to work very hard on it because this is what I enjoy. This is a fun, creative project that I want to sink my teeth into. *nods* I'm having fun down in the news department, but it's not as creative. It's more of the drudge work. I'm better than that, but I still would like to learn it. I love to learn and add to my repertoire of skills. It will look nice on a resume' and maybe I can get a job doing that for a little bit and then move my way up. *hopes*

So yes, everything is going pretty smoothly. I love my apartment, my internship is fun, and Duluth is a great place to be.
