happy 4th everyone
So after much prompting from AKS, I am finally posting. It's really only fair considering all of the free entertainment the blog has been supplying me with for the past few months. It probably goes without saying, what with everyone on here being journalists and all, but you guys are great writers, even when you’re just slinging insults at each other.
So today I have the day off, which is something of a small miracle, considering I work all weekend, every weekend at The Star. But because Mondays and Tuesdays are my regular days off (woohoo), I’ll actually get to see some fireworks tonight. But overall, the job is going well, and I like the people I work with. But with only two weeks down and eight left to go, I’m really not looking forward to the hell that will be August, when I’ll still be commuting there, the Kansan will be back in full force, and there will also be that tiny little bother known as class.
We got off to such a late start because the training in San Jose didn’t start until June 5. We were there for two full weeks, and it was pretty fun considering I was there for “copy editing bootcamp.” Honestly, it was much more laid back than all of the horror stories I've heard, but I think that the San Jose must be the exception to the rule. The professors were odd and maybe a little on the ancient side, but the other interns turned out to be cool. We even found time to go into San Francisco on our day off, and it was nice to be there again. There’s another intern who was there and is now at The Star as well, and we get along really well. Maybe she goes to MU . . . glad that’s out in the open now.
OK, I promise I’ll wrap it up here. Just a few side notes:
Neeley: I’m with you on the being “boated out” thing. Really not possible. And while I’m sure Live 8 was a major pain in the ass for the locals, it was fun to watch on T.V.
Courtney: DEAR GOD. Are you okay? The bites, the reaction, whatever, sound miserable.
Bill: So that math comment may have been supremely nerdy, but it’s really not fair that you get to be good at both words and numbers.
Ashley: Your job sounds amazing. If I didn’t like you so much, I might have to hate you for it.
All right, I’m out. Let’s all try to keep our fingers today, OK? And by all, I am referring to you, Kealing.

Zits, (That is supposed to sound like zeets, not zits as in acne)
I am going to send you the most glorious postcard ever. It has JC on the front, so with that information you can prejudge its awesomeness. — AKS
I'm glad your training was laid back. Ours was nice, too - they let us do whatever the hell we wanted when we wern't in class or had to work, though I doubt Columbia was as much fun a Cali-friggin'-fornia. I managed to spend almost half my meal allowance on drinks, though.

Azita! I'm in Felicity withdrawal and I still have your two DVDs. The only thing that's been getting me through is the discovery that now they air them on the We channel. I think I'll go home and watch one while I itch my bug bites...
