A Well Overdue Update...

I have been meaning to update this for over a week now, but I have been super busy. From moving apartments to spending time with family and just getting settled in at the new jobs. Packing and cleaning is hard work and I'm not even done with the unpacking or organizing of the new room. That will probably not happen till the end of summer. It worked out nice because my roommate is subleasing my room in Menomonie for now and I am staying in EC which is about 4min away from work which is awesome!! This week I started as the graphic design intern at the EDC (Economic Development Center). The first day was great, the boss took me out for lunch and I got started on my first project!! I'm very excited about the job and I think it will be an amazing experience to say the least. For a little over a month I have been working as the graphic design intern at the ECPC (Eau Claire Press Company). I am starting to get the hang of things a little bit. I have mostly been working on the realtor books and ads for the newspaper. Both jobs are a little different from one another, but the experience is great and the people are all very helpful. My hours are mostly 8-4pm, Monday-Friday, it is weird to have an entire workday in by 4 and not have to work on weekends. Considering all other summer jobs I have had, these don't really seem like work because it is something I love and enjoy doing, the time seems to fly by. It is also weird that I work on a project for a full day and then I don't have to take it home to work on like school. Aside from all the design at work I am also doing some on the side. I designed a t-shirt for the Wausau East Highschool Homecoming for next fall and I will soon be starting on Wedding Invites. I have not been getting out and experimenting with the Canon as much as I would like, but I am really going to try to more. The problem is once I get it out I don't like to put it away, it is such a fun toy!! All in all summer vacation has been awesome!! I think my brother and I are planning a trip to Chicago in a few weeks and I am also training to run a 1/2 marathon in August. I am keeping myself very busy, but am enjoying ever minute. I hope to keep you updated on the internships as much as possible over the summer! =)
