Week 16: THE END

Whew! It is my last day and I'm a little saddened by it. This past week has been just a killer for me, trying to balance school and work. I pulled a few all-nighters and drank loads of coffee. Now, the result is me walking into cars, into chairs, into door frames and any other stationary thing. Yes, I'm exhausted. I want to hurl myself into bed and not wake up for 24 hours.

Though enough about school, while freaking out about other things, I was able to go up to the Capitol and write a story about a rally of people demanding the state legislators do something about the budget. It was interesting to say the least. After everyone had split up to go about their mission, I went on to sit in on a Senate session. It was very fun and while I was sitting in with other professional journalists, I loved their commentary of what was going on (we sat in a soundproof area, thank god!). This may be dorky of me but I would love, love, LOVE to have one of their jobs. :)

Unfortunately, I'm so tired, the gravity of this being my last day hasn't really kicked in. Maybe it will next week, when everything is over. Maybe. Probably. Definitely. I will be sad. This internship did really spoil me.

Until then, good-bye Oklahoma Gazette.

Thank you for giving me this internship opportunity, helping me learn quite a few things, letting me write awesome stories, taking me under your wing and watching me fly and then guiding me whenever it looked like I was about to drop like a rock and thank you for allowing me to do those floaters, of course! :)

P.S. I was totally kidding about the floaters throughout this blog. They are the best! ;)
