Week 1 Reflection

Saturday, June 18, 2011

Sooooo unfortunately the week started off really well for me but ended up being a drag. I had my first and last day of my internship on Tuesday this week. Turns out my allergies decided to amp it up and I had to go to the doctors about 100 times. I woke up one morning with my face puffed up like a balloon, another day just half my face, and just more ridiculous things. The doctors ended up having to do an allergy test on me...little did I know it would be one of the worst experiences EVER. They prick you with everything and wait to see how you react...and what do you know..I'm allergic to just about everything!!! My arm was beat red and on fire. It was terrible. The doctors were like "oh wow!" Soooo now I have to get allergy shots and all this ridiculous stuff. Just for entertaining purposes I thought I'd let you know all of that. BUT, putting all that aside, Tuesday was very exciting for me. I work with Dan Christopherson who is the sports broadcaster at the local news station Channel 6. He previously attended The University of Portland and worked for the Beacon so we have our little connection there. We complained together about how there is not enough going on with broadcasting and that UP needs to step their game up. One of the things that made me pretty upset was when I found out that the sports broadcasting only get 90 seconds at the 5 o'clock show and 2 1/2 minutes at the 11 o'clock show... and weekends 3 1/2 minutes for each show...that is some b.s if you ask me! I was mad and me being me I said something to one of the ladies who is in charge of all that good stuff..haha I told her how they should be given more time on the air and blah blah blah. I think Dan appreciated it. I decided that by the time I'm outta here I want to have it changed! (or at least try haha). Anyways, it was a good day and hopefully it will continue to be fun over the next couple of weeks :]

Adios for now !
