Week 10, October 25-29

On Monday, I didn't have any press releases yet to write, so I did all my clippings for Matt and then basically job searched! On Wednesday, this day was eventful, I did all my clippings and then received stack of information from ODOT to write in press releases. Soon after I started on this there was a fire drill in which every single person in the Capitol had to go outside and stand (it was cold of course) for an hour outside. They then let us back in and I ran errands for Jennifer, another lady in my office, to Senator's executive assistants. I then started working on press releases again until 12:30.

Week 9, October 18-22

Both days on Monday and Wednesday I was at my internship from 8:30-12:30. This week was a little slower than the past few weeks. I did all my clippings at the beginning of each day, then reviewed my press releases, finished getting them approved and sent all them out to the appropriate media bases, in each Senator's district who had a press release written by me. I then responded to emails some media outlets sent me with any problems they may have regarding the press releases. I am ahead of schedule, getting all my press releases written, and currently there is nothing for me to write.

Week 8, October 11-15

I finished all my press releases this week! I worked on them on Monday, then wrote my last ten on Wednesday. I then started sending them to the Senators and the State Representatives to get them approved. Most of them just get approved right away, but if there's an error, I fix it, then send it to the appropriate media outlet. On Wednesday I did all my internet clippings and then just sent out press release after press release to the appropriate Senator. Now all I have to do is wait for them to be returned and then send them to the media outlets!

Week 7, October 4-8

The seventh week of my internship! almost half way finished....Both days this week I worked and worked on getting all those press releases written. Each day I was there from 8:30-12:30 just writing all these releases. I also did all my news and broadcast news clippings. Which is my favorite part of my day because not only am I working, but I'm also reading everything that's going on in Oklahoma news.

Week 6 September 27-October 1

I can't believe this was week six of my internship already! Time is flying. This week I was handing a brand new stack of press release information and have already almost finished it. I'm not really amused with these press releases because it is way too easy now. I want something a little harder, but hey since I've gotten so good at writing them, they will look good for when I apply for jobs! My life is extremely hectic working 40hrs a week bar-tending, working 8hrs a week at the Senate and taking 16hrs of school. But in December it will all be over! Writing press releases from 8:30-12:30, sending and discussing my press releases with the senators and executive assistants, then mailing them to the proper media outlets pretty much sums up my days. Oh, and doing all my news headlines and multimedia clippings, of course.
