Something Different

I can't believe I finally left Ohio.  Of course I have been on plenty vacations, but never for 2 months.  It's a weird transition being 1300 miles away from your home for that long.  And of course it's NOT a vacation for me.  I am currently in Fort Myers, Florida for a summer internship with WRXY CTN (Christian Television Network).  I am ready to finally experience what it is like to be away from home and have somewhat of a "real" job. Well without the pay that is.  I just recently found out I will be working part-time at JUSTICE -Just for girls for the time being to bring in a little income.  Hopefully I will find time to actually enjoy the beautiful parts of Florida before my time is up in August.  In the mean time, I wanted to start this blog to help fill in all my family and friends on what I am doing since I don't have time to call everyone! :( But I love you all and hopefully you can feel like you are apart of my adventure! 


So I will start with telling you about the first day of my internship! Woke up at 7am to get ready for the day (earliest I have all summer).  Had to be at the station at 9am but it is on the outskirts of Punta Gorda which was about a 20 - 25 minute drive from where I am staying.  The drive on Route 31 seems like the drive if you were on Route 3 going North past Kroger in Sunbury. Very flat and farmlands.  Its an easy drive though.  At the station I was introduced to everyone by GiGi who runs the front desk and a little run through of the station again.  WRXY was hosting a day camp for high school and middle school students this week so I was thrown into the mix of them today. There were only 4 other students though, so I didn't mind. There isn't much production this week due to the day camp. But the good thing is they, well I guess we, are going to create and produce a 30 minute show to run on WRXY.  They came up with the topic of Cyber Bullying, which we will talk about what it is, how you know if you are a victim and ways of preventing.  It seems like a great project for us to do and keep busy with.  The equipment is fairly easy to learn now that I have experience in it.  Just need to learn more about the editing software.  Oh and I forgot to mention! The kids volunteered me to run the discussion! So I will be on TV shortly down here. I will send the link to watch and what times it will be running for anyone who is interested later.  


       That about wraps it up for the day. Tomorrow goes another day of preparing for the production.  Afterwards I will be picking up my good friends Shelia and Braden Bell from the airport to drive them to  Port Charlotte, so the bed is calling for me right now.  Goodnight friends. More to come.
