My Summer Internship

I don't know if I've had the opportunity to share with you guys what I plan on doing this summer!

I have an internship with the Ohio State Fair and a PR/Marketing intern. This basically means I'll be writing press releases about the fair and arranging for news and radio stations to come and do some coverage of the fair's events. Maybe I'll get a free concert ticket or two (fingers crossed!).

I think this will be a really neat opportunity to get my foot in the door of the communication/journalism world. I really lucked out with this internship because I didn't get it at first, then I was called back a week later and informed that one of the interns couldn't come through so I was the backup. YAY!

Finding an internship was actually a lot harder than I anticipated that it would be. I feel like I just got really lucky with this opportunity, it sort of fell into my lap. Regardless, I'm very excited and very much looking forward to the opportunity to spend my time at the fair all summer.

The major downside will be the 45 minute drive to work each morning with these gas prices. At least the internship is only for 2 months!
