To spare you all some time, I decided to write every single emotion I am feeling right now in my title. Each feeling is just a simple word, that way I didn't have to explain it all and write a crazy long boring blog. You can thank me later :)

Well yesterday we started our Public Policy track work. (FYI-the first two weeks we are here, we go through leadership & vocation classes. Then we go into our track work). We got our syllabus yesterday, and oh my lanta it is going to be exciting, yet I can already foresee that it's going to be very stressful. I am actually going to write a blog tomorrow about it. It'll be interesting :)

So today we all started our internships! As I know I've mentioned before, I am the communications and marketing intern at The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA). Long story short, I got off to a bad start. It started with the night before getting lost trying to find my internship spot (so I would know where to go in the morning), to being nervous that I then wouldn't find it, and then to me waking up 2 1/2 hours late. Some how I was not late... don't as how I managed that one. All of the coworkers that I met are so nice, and they all really seem like a lot of fun. I started the morning with sending out the media clips, and ended the day with writing a blog for their website. It was all really nice, besides the fact that I feel totally inadequate. Basically I got an issue, learned about it and wrote a blog about it for their actual website. In normal circumstances I would think that was awesome, however in this one, I feel rather inadequate. I can easily sit here and write my own blog because I am writing as me. I write based on my personality type. But when it comes to writing a blog for a company's website that I am not as familiar with, I have a hard time writing it with it emphasized on it's "personality" type. Does that make sense? Maybe it's just me.  Either way, I am excited to continue on with this internship, and hopefully by the end I wont be feeling so inadequate anymore :P

This link here will show you what I blogged about today for AAFA. I would talk about it on here but clicking on this link will give you enough of what it's about. Although, I encourage you all to look into this issue further.
