I can has updates plz?

One Week, Internship Style! (to the tune of "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies)

It's been one week since the beginning,
when I started interning at JPost.
Five articles I've turned in:
Australia and Ben Gurion and Tel Aviv.
Three days until the weekend:
I'm seeing Bruno, sleeping in past 8am.
Doing this all again five times.
Holy shit! This repitition is fucking crazy!

The internship is going well. I am not a veteran intern! Whoo hoo! Today I went to Ramat Gan, which is a suburb of Tel Aviv, for a press conference that Jason Lezak (Olympic swimmer who gave up participating in the FIFA World Championships in favor of competing in Maccabiah) was holding. This was my second time in a press room. It was cool. The whole thing was insanely awesome...except for the fact that I had to leave my apartment by 8am in order to make the 10:30 press conference. Alas. And I'm slowly getting better at structuring my articles! My intros still need a little work...but I have 5.5 more weeks, so I'm not too worried.

I'm exhausted. I was too tired to go to the grocery store today...I also got home around 9pm. Ugh. Hopefully that won't be the case tomorrow!






(Sidenote: When I was little, I thought that the word "barenaked" was dirty and I was uncomfortable saying the band's name. Look how far I've come!)
