Hello everyone. I know I originally said that I was going to use this blog to talk about my education abroad internship and experience. And I want to. The truth of the matter, though, is that I severely underestimated this semester in terms of workload and time consumption. As such, I'm going to have to devote the majority of my time next month to working on my capstone project so that I can graduate. That's not to say that I'm not going to be continuing with my internship, I am, but it's going to be in a mitigated role. It will consist more of sitting in on advisement appointments and helping the guys organize the students by making spreadsheets for them, because that's really all I have time for.
In that light, I thought it might be interesting for some of you to see what all I'm doing with my Mobile Journalism Tools capstone project. Essentially, we're testing out tons of equipment, writing reviews for them, and them putting them online. Each week I'll be posting a review I've done, so that you can get a feel for how we do it here at Mizzou. I'm going to call it Month of Mobile Journalism. I hope that you enjoy!
As far as the internship is concerned, I'm learning lots. There's just so much to wrap my head around, and it seems like they work at 100 miles an hour every second of every day. Still, they laugh a lot, and the atmosphere is light, so I can't complain really. Just looking forward to helping out with some of the big orientations. I feel like that's going to be the most useful. I wish I could go to NAFSA this year, but I doubt I could swing missing three days of school for an education abroad conference. Sad days. Still haven't told the parents really about my future change of plans. I'm sure that's going to be a fun conversation.
Yay, glad I'm thinking about that now...
