Getting on board... slowly.

Which isn't the worst place to be, really. I have so much editing to do that it is a little daunting but I am actually looking forward to seeing the product when we are finished so making the first steps feels pretty good. It will be a challenge that I know will stretch me.

Finding or manufacturing.

Both things are a challenge when it comes to obtaining work. Today my internship sort of felt like more of the latter but I enjoy the challenge of trying to do things independently. It has inspired a few ideas in my mind, even, about what I might be able to do in a more semi-extracurricular sort of way in the future. The life of an intern is a challenging one, rightly so. Learning to exploit it to maximum effect should be fun!

The busier weekend.

I have had a few schedule blips over the last week or so and it would mostly be due to the challenging schedule I have undertaken. It can be a bad thing, as I have often lost touch with some of the more important things in life, but it can be a good thing, too, as the content of my activity strengthens my connection to life. The challenging schedule I have undertaken lately seems to be more of the latter, so I have to be glad for that, I suppose.

Doing the down and dirty.

Today I got to help the development department work on ideas for potential shows and I found that, even though the work could be very tedious and outwardly lackluster, I quite enjoyed the challenge of being ultra creative on demand. It is a VERY challenging position for the development team to try to think of the next marketable idea and their general enthusiasm is admirable. I could see myself in that sort of position as a regular job.

Internship euphoria.

It might seem like a strange thing to say but that is pretty much how I'm feeling about it right now. The people, environment, work, and potential work all seem unexpectedly awesome! Far beyond what I could have hoped for. Certainly, my ideas about the experience will likely scale back to something more realistic over the coming weeks... but I don't mind reveling in the ignorant bliss of it all for now. It's one of those life surprises that are few and far between.

Keeping myself busy.

It has never been much of a challenge. I rarely suffer from boredom due to the opportunities I am so easily able to find and enjoy. I think I just like the experience of doing things pretty much no matter what it is. It is something I have often attributed to my level of skill with many of my hobbies... that basically I just really enjoy doing them so I naturally improve at them relatively faster than typical. Anyway, I am thankful for it. I am thankful that I have so many outlets of interest to keep me moving.

Rolling into the final chapter of my undergraduate school experience.

And I phrase it that way not to state that I am making definite plans for education beyond what I will soon be completing but, rather, as a door of possibility that I might take that journey should the right factors come into play. Anyway, this post is mostly just a declaration that my final 10 weeks begins today. I will graduate shortly thereafter. Life, already highly blessed, will continue to improve as the challenges and opportunities increase. I am thoroughly excited for it all!
