"Friday", is that you? It's me, the intern

Wow! This week was fast, eventful, and darn near over. As I only work Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays- my week goes by faster than usual because I get to skip past the long and dreadful Monday's. Also, in addition to what one of the other interns said, I forgot to mention the flexibility we have here as an intern at NAVAIR. The mentors will work with just about whatever scheldule you desire- within reason.. which is greatly appreciated.

Anywho, let me tell you about my week. So Tuesday, was here and gone in about a blink of an eye. I've been working on my first story for awhile now; not because I'm slow at writing :p but because the editing process is SO tedious. So my Tuesday consisted of editing, editing.. and oh yeah, editing. For lunch my mentor, LaToya, took me to this yummy restaraunt about 5 minutes from the base called Asai, I believe. It's one of those restaraunts where they cook in front of you with the fire and all. After lunch we came back and yep, you guessed it, more editing.

One of the great things here about being an intern is that they expect minor slip-ups and mistakes. We aren't perfect, and we are here to learn how to prevent those slip-ups and mistakes for our future endeavors. It's great to have one person look over your articles, but with almost 8 public affairs officers here, you have up to 8 different forms of feedback you can get on your work; which in any work environment is great.

Wednesday I started working on another story, while my first story was getting edited. Then around 1:00 I left for our weekly class held every Wednesday. We learned about photography, and the media; as in what's appropriate to share with them and what isn't. The classes we have on Wednesdays are always so informational and interesting. We get a chance to take a breather from our other work and interact with the other interns while still learning. We do stimulus workshops and quizzes to brush up on our AP Stylebook skills, which to any public affairs officer, is more than helpful.

Well, today is Thursday, which as I said before, is my Friday 8). I have my two stories to finish, a caption to write and then I'll be done for the day.

Happy "Friday"!
