Ron Burgundy and me

You have to applaud my enthusiasm for WILL.

Today, I showed up a half hour early to get working on the nicest day of the year. I’ve updated both the Focus 580 podcasts and I’m still not supposed to be here for another 20 minutes!

Yeah, it’s that interesting sometimes here. The people are always great to the interns. Almost every time I arrive from a long day’s work at class, they have a HUGE slice of my favorite chocolate cake with tantalizing vanilla frosting waiting for me with 19 candles (yeah, this is one BIG cake!).

Oh yeah, and I actually do some work here, but even that is glorious in its own right.

As a matter of fact, as I write this, two copy girls are fanning me with big…fans, keeping me cool on the hot seat. In addition, my poor back is always feeling great with a six-man lineup of masseuses constantly working out the knots.

I’m getting my nails filed and manicured (yes, while I’m typing this). While I’m typing and getting manicured, I’m editing video using Sony Vegas and Sony Sound Forge.

These two programs are very comprehensive to the point where I basically became proficient just by looking at them for five seconds. Definitely worth the investment if your work involves editing video and/or audio.

If I had to pick one person this internship makes me think of the most, it most definitely, without a single doubt, has to be…Ron Burgundy. I am an integral cog in the academic powerhouse that is Champaign, Ill.

And if you think I have it good, just remember I’m just a measly intern. Wait ‘till you hear what the secretaries have…

Well, I better hold off on that for now (pist…the budget people at U of I might be reading). We’ll talk about all this on my LAST DAY of interning. Jeeeeaaaa.

I guess the only negative is that this all ends in less than a month.
