Oh the life of an intern, not the romantic view you're thinking about, believe me. The Dallas Morning News is keeping me busy, running from football field to volleyball court and back again every day, nonstop. I'm turning out content daily with multiple projects in the works. I started with football teams at DISD schools. One word for ya-DANGER! At least I know where in South Oak Cliff not to go at night, jk. I recently was put on the entire volleyball beat with roundups, notebooks, rankings, player of the weeks, stats, whiny coaches, flaky coaches and ditzy coaches (quite the trifecta) and everything else that comes with the package.
Football is my newest language. I wish I took a few more classes in high school and college because sometimes I feel lost. That's where Dad and Drew and I have fun though, analyzing why the Flexbone offense is better than the Spread offense and why defensive ends can't play safety. I'm in charge of the Garland schools for football along with Dallas Skyline and Bryan Adams.
It's pretty fun, but I'm still unsure what the recent buyouts and consolidations at the Morning News will mean for me. I hope to stay but have no idea what their needs are. I'm just trying to work my tailend off and have no regrets. I still make time to run at a nice family-friendly park in Coppell and treat myself with a new CD or DVD every once in awhile. I'm surviving and loving the cooler weather here! I also got a spiffy new hair cut, so watch out!!!
