Casting a wide net

I have many other things to worry about aside from this internship, such as finishing school and graduating, but I am absolutely excited to get started. My first order of business at work will be to introduce myself to every single co-worker and establish a relationship with each person. That includes the photographers, graphic designers, Web editors, even the ad-sales people. I really want to learn how all aspects of the newsroom operate.

Learning from fellow Chipsters

There are very few things that I enjoy more than the act of writing. It affords an outlet for daily troubles, a sense of pleasure, and in this case a career. Orientation tonight reminded me that I have a lot to learn as a journalist and writer. Also, there is no better environment to do so than here in D.C. After listening to the speakers and hearing so many of my fellow interns talk about their goals and what they would like to contribute to their internships, I have one goal: simply to learn from them.
