I'm done with the work for my internship.

Hallelujah!

Can I get an 'amen'?

I had my (I believe) last meeting with my supervisor today. It was a really good feeling to know that I don't have to write anything except the final copies for my portfolio that's due on Friday.

All of my articles are done! I’m so happy. I realized I wrote around 20 articles when I was printing them out and putting them into my portfolio. 20 doesn’t seem like a lot, but it really is! The last thing left to do is attend the “Mega Writing Workshop” the Friday of Finals week. Michelle was the one who gave it that title. I think it fits since we will workshop every single article for the whole magazine.

School is still hard. I've still got a ton to do in my classes but I feel like most of it is manageable.

I feel a little like I'm coasting at my internship. Sarah and I are compiling that database, and it's kind of tedious work, but I don't mind it. We can talk to each other, and to be quite honest, this project feels a little like busy work. I don't think that the database we're making is critical to the survival or development of the museum; it's just going to be a nice reference tool for them to use (even though it will be outdated in the next year or so).

I still have 2 articles left. One is finished, but I am waiting on information still for the other two. Oh the life of the writer. I sometimes wonder if I send too many e-mails. But I need to make my deadline and if people aren’t responding, then they will either be getting another e-mail or a phone call if I have their number.

And I don't particularly mean my internship. I mean everything. I mean, this is hard. School is hard.

It's not that I don't feel like I can do what needs to be done. It's just not easy.

I'm trying to keep up with everything that I have to do and there just seems to be an endless dump of work from my teachers. The devotionals I expected, and I'm finishing up the last parts of it tonight. But I've already pulled 2 all-nighters this week and I'm flirting with another one tonight. This can't be good for me.

As of today, I have three articles left to write for my internship. This makes me very excited because I really want to see the finished product. The ones I have left to write are about athletics (ranging from intramural sports to being a part of Laker Nation), study abroad, and 3 little articles that all combine to form one article about giving back to GVSU (these involved Battle of the Valleys, Relay for Life, and Dance Marathon).

Last week I completed an article about Public Safety, the program ACES, and finally finished up my Volunteer Opportunities article.

Yes, it's almost 4 in the morning. Yes, I'm awake.

This Holy Week devotional is rough, and I didn't really have much time to do it.

I'm finally finished with my "Importance of Play" presentation. One of the employees looked at it, and said it looked great. I was a little nervous to have her look at it because I knew very little about child development when I went into the project and she's been working at the museum for five years. She had nothing to criticize about the content of it though, only minor suggestions regarding the layout of the slides.

Today, Michelle, Kiera, Ryan and I laid out the pages for the magazine!! I do not know why but it makes me feel like things are starting to come together. Maybe it’s because laying out the pages, feels like there’s some closure to my job. It means the writing is almost done and now it’s the graphic designers turn to work on the magazine. There are 6 articles left for me to work on. Some I have the information for and just need to type it up. Others I need to make some last minute interviews and revisions.
