first day!

I will be doing a rundown of my first day at my internship:

8am Alarm goes off. I hit snooze.
8:10am Alarm goes off again. I get up because the alarm is kind of quiet and I am afraid I will miss it next time.
8:15am Breakfast! Special K and passion fruit/pear juice.
8:40am shower
9am I changed my shirt three times.
9:17am Wait for the bus
9:30 bus arrives
9:50 I arrive at the Central Bus Station
10:00am I arrive at the Jerusalem Post building, check in with the News Editor, and chill in the conference room with the other interns. There's a girl a year older than me from my high school, as well as a girl from the next town over.

Hanging out, waiting for a story, cursing my self because I forgot my adaptor. The girl from my high school offered to lend me an adaptor later.

11:15am I got a story! Now I need to work on it.
1:21pm The other interns are going to get ice coffees, which are basically coffe slushee-type things. I'm staying here to work on the story that is maybe 1/4 done. (They're getting me one...maybe I am slowly reforming my opinion on coffee? Eh. I doubt I'll make it myself next year, and I'm sure as hell not going to buy it all the time.) Also because one of the interns is waiting for a phone call and I said I'd take it while she's out. I have 7 weeks to do fun intern-bonding things, I'm not worried. We spend most of our time chilling and talking, while writing our stories. It's cool.

One of the reporters had me transcribe an interview with Jason Lezak. It took awhile, but...Jason Lezak! I was an avid Olympic watcher. So at least it was pretty interesting.

I'm about to go home. I haven't finished my article because I am waiting for response from people in Australia, and Sydney and Melbourne are 7 hours ahead of Israel.
