Meggles' Presentation
I need a break from my journal, so I decided to tell you all about Meg's presentation! I was going to put this entry up tomorrow, but there's no better time like the present! ^_^
Last Friday my mom and I went to Bemidji to see Meg. It was the big presentation day and the roads were not happy. We made it safe and sound with not too much time to spare. Meg was lucky to be the second presenter and after Josh's. . . um. . . lengthy presentation it was Meg's turn! Woot! She showed her comencement thinger, bookcover, Buena Vista doodle and library stuff. My favorite piece that she presented was the Buena Vista logo. I am a sucka for blue and orange things. And the logo she used was all swoopy fun-ness. The B reminded me of skiing! Swoosh!
She did an excellent job! She told me in the tunnels going back to her dorm room that she didn't think she did very well, but she was awesome. Don't be modest Meggles, you really did a good job. ^_^ Meg has a bright future ahead of her and I can't wait to see the things she does with her mad graphic skillz.

Intern Journal
Intern Journal
Here I am in my happy, little apartment typing my journal for my internship. I have my introduction done and now I'm debating how I want the sections to be. I could do a date thing, a section on each major project, or go by first day-final day. I'm leaning toward a section for each big project I did. Yeah, that's what I'll do.
I have been in Hibbing for a long time and I was about to go nuts! I missed my bed, Chich, and PS2. I told Dad that I missed my apartment and he asked why. Pff, it's home! I know I've been here for a little over 3 months, but it still feels like home. I have the freedom to do whatever I want. You would think parents would understand leaving the nest. At one point they did it themselves and they must not have wanted to stay with their parents for long. I love my parents, but I love being in my own little place. Mom was telling me that since I owe them so much for sending me to college that if I get a job in Hibbing that I have to live with them. Um, no. I couldn't becuase I would go freaking bonkers!!! O_O *nods* Bonkers I tell you! I told Mom that I really don't think it would be a good idea for me to stay with them, but she insisted that it would be a good idea. I said, "Maybe for a couple months until I found an apartment." Oh no, that would not work! This is my plan, not to get a job close to Hibbing. I'm doing this for my sanity and my independence!
Other than that, nothing is really going on right now. I might go to Bemidji on Thurs. with Luke-san for my post meeting thing with Mark. I hope it goes well! ^_^ Thanks for taking me Luke-san! You're so sweet!

It's Been A Good Time
It's Been A Good Time
It's an odd feeling. I have only been here for three months, but I will miss this place, the people and my cube. *smiles* I have so many mixed emotions right now. Sadness fills my heart knowing that I will not have to come here next Monday, but on the otherhand I feel excited and curious. What is the future going to hold? Am I going to like my future boss/es as much as I like Margo and Chris? I hope so. The feeling of anxiety also creeps into mind because I literally have no clue as to where I'm headed. I am extremely grateful to have gotten this internship and in the summer I was feeling some of these same feelings. Worry lingered in my mind because I wasn't sure if I would get an internship. Well, I got one and it turned out great. Now the worry (I guess this is part of the anxiety) is back and now I wonder if I will even get a job. I admit, however, that I do feel more confident about my work and believe that, yes, there is a company/agency/whatever that would like to hire me. The feeling of happiness pops up everytime someone tells me good luck, or what a good job I have done. I'm happy that I did a good job and I wish them the best of luck as well.
Today Margo, Nina, Steph and I are going to go out for lunch. I was actually surprised at the mention of it yesterday. I was delighted and I think it will be a good way to begin the afternoon. I plan on spending my last hours here in the newsroom with the floor crew.
Margo told me to try out for the writer/producer position on the Iron Range. I talked to Chris about it and he told me that would be great and then told me to get an application. Well, I got the five page application right here and have it partially filled out. I need to get my reference info and all that good stuff. Honestly, I don't think I would have a chance of getting the position, but like Margo said it would be good for me to go through the interview process and then Chris could critique me.
This morning Tam stopped by my cubicle and gave me a card with a gift certificate to Grandma's. That was really sweet of her. She teases about being my slave driver and she was! *nods* No, she was one of the best people to work for here. I hope to use it with Mom, Dad and maybe even Scott, Steph and Austin! We'll see, but for sure I would like to use it when I'm with Mom and Dad.
My new resume is officially in the process of being made. I started working on the compass rose that will be on there. I have continents already made, but they are at 72 dpi and for those who don't know much about printing graphics, this is bad. I would like to have my resume printed at 150 dpi, or 300. I'll have to see what I did with those graphics. Maybe for some reason I did make them 150, or 300. I'll put my progress up on the net when I get farther along on the illustrations.
Well, *holds up virtual champaign glass* here's to my last day. *raises slim goblet and then drinks* Ahhh.

Shiny Chompers
Shiny Chompers
*opens mouth* Hee yay ar a hiny an kee! Idn hat huenduh? I hink ho. *closes mouth* *yawns* I had an early dentist appointment this morning and everything is fine and dandy. *nods* I'm kind of tired today because I had to get up at 7 a.m.! Ok, I know it isn't super early and most of you are already at work, but to me, that is a forbidden time for awareness and broccli. Sometimes for asparagus too, but we won't get into the sleeping habitts of vegetables. Fruit on the other hand, they are a crazy sort of bunch. They like being up in the morning and that is why we drink orange juice for breakfast. *nods*
I have decided, ok maybe it isn't written in stone, but I am thinking about making Maki the goddes of dental hygene as well as sound. For those of you not up to date with the crazy people in my head, here is who I am talking about. Maki is the goddess of sound in Maiestus. She loves to control the frequencies and if someone ever got rid of her Maiestus would be silent. She is sound with a body and a mind. And Sound prefers to have her body wear raver clothes and loves to have crazy hair, not to mention swanky tattoos. Ok, so why the waddlefuzz would I want her to have anything to do with dentists? Well, I got my teeth cleaned by a thing called a sonic scaler. It is a neat little gadgetroo that uses high frequencies to get tartar out of those hard to reach places. Wow, it works too! In my mouth my teeth are singing, "Sonic scaler goodness, it's good for us! Yeah, yeah, yeah! We're happy, we're shiny, we're clean! Whoo!" Isn't that the sweetest!?
Not all of my dentist visit was a happy musical. I did have my dramatic moments when the evil wisdom teeth showed up in the x-ray singing, "We are here to conquer! Fear us, or go bonkers! We are evil, we are mean. In the future we will make you scream. Fear the evil teeth of WISDOM!!!" I was once told that I didn't have wisdom teeth and I was happy beyond belief. However, the x-rays that I got today say I do and like my big brother I have two on the bottom and one on the top. *growls* Then there is my father who has them, but has never had them out because they don't bother him. One of Scott's wisdom teeth was turned sideways and he had to get it out. Mine, however, seem to look straight. Now, I hope I'm like my dad and I won't need them out. *hopes* I am going to see a surgeon *shivers* to see what he/she thinks of em'. I really don't want to have more surgery on my head. I don't want general anestesia because I'll get sick. It never fails, I always do and I am not looking forward to that.
Tomorrow is my last day at the TV station, so expect a sad entry. I don't want to go! Ok, it probably won't be sad, but maybe serious. We'll see.
