Tuesday Update

Alright so Internship Day 2 went just as well as Day 1. Although I was exhausted from yesterday's 14 hour day I watched some Star Trek on SYFY with my Dad. His friend Marie came over and I watched some less than funny sitcoms on CBS before deciding to turn in very early... like 9. I was really tired, and was disappointed to find myself more exhausted when I woke up then when I had gone to bed... at 5:30.

There wasn't any torrential rain or heavy traffic to worry about this morning, so my commute was much smoother. I parked in the same area as I had yesterday and soon found myself back at my desk. Sadly, the Communication/PR member who I was paired with's mother in law died. So, I didn't really work on any true media materials today. Rather, I helped out with general office projects. As today was the mid-term elections, the office was abuzz with general election related activities. I labeled enveloped to be sent to all of the nearly 500 elected officials in Nebraska who were up for re-election/election (Interesting Fact: Nebraska has the highest number of elected officials in the country). I updated some media documents and finally helped get election funds information compiled.

Although the tasks may seem mundane it was actually really interesting. The day just flew by! Additionally, there were several tour groups of elementary school kids in the capitol today, and it was really fun to see their reactions to things. I remember when I first visited the capitol when in 4th grade. It was truly awe inspiring!

Nothing big on the agenda for this evening. Jesus must really be happy with me, SYFY has yet another Star Trek: TNG marathon on tonight. I should go buy a lottery ticket. Can this get any better?

Tomorrow's agenda is a little busy, haircut, phone interview for a fargo paid internship, and then work at Bakers from 2-10. Nothing like starting out my last season for Bakers with 8 hours at U-Scan... Perhaps my luck has truly run out.
