Today started out with filling out a bunch of paperwork, getting a security card so I can get anywhere in the building, and setting up my accounts in order to write articles and whatnot. I was even given my own personal computer to work on. An old school Macbook Pro! It still works though so it's better than nothing. I thought it was interesting that I was given a laptop that I can take home with me so I can work on writing articles in case I need to meet a deadline. My last internship I was given a laptop as well, but we were forbidden to take it out of the building. So I thought that was pretty neat!
Right away I was given some writing assignments to work on. One of them I was told to get done in an hour... talk about pressure right away! But I met the deadline, and within a half hour I received this lovely email:
I was so excited! An article I've written gets published my very first day! It had to be published asap because it talks about ticket sales that go out this Wednesday. But still! I was a happy camper seeing my name as the author's name. You can read what I wrote here!
I'll probably be blogging about stories I have written, because that's the life I'm living now! Tomorrow I get to start out the day interviewing and having breakfast with an LDS author named Tamara Johnson. She wrote a book of her true-life story called "31 Dates in 31 Days," and it's all about her experience dating 31 different men in 31 days. And guess what? She ended up marrying the very first guy she went on a date with exactly one year later? I see this story as being a future chick flick for sure! Hopefully we have a good chat and I can write a newsworthy article on her.
I still am amazed how I am where I am right now. I moved to Utah to start this new adventure of mine, not knowing what to expect at all. I had a set plan of what I wanted to do after I graduated college, but it just goes to show that the Lord's plans for you will always prevail over your own! I think I needed a reminder that the Lord loves me and is watching out for me. I should never be worried about what my future holds, because I am being watched out for and as long as I am doing what I am suppose to be doing, I will be blessed.
I'm eager to see what the rest of my internship has in store for me!
Wonderful. So happy for you! Enjoy this segment of your life. Once you get married and have kids your life is in the service of them. ENJOY! Take advantage of this time alone to find out who you are and experience things you won't be able to as a mother and wife. "To everything there is a season." This is your season. Make the most of it! Love you!
