My Plans for summer

I thought that I would use this post to talk about my plans for summer, but mainly my intention of staying on at The Grosse Pointe News.  I really love the paper.  Though the incentive of a good grade in school is gone, I have genuinely enjoyed working there and have found a family in the entire staff.  I feel that with so much in my life changing right now, I'd like to maintain the constant that is my job at the paper.  That's about it for this post.

Update on my Co-op Job

Hey guys.  I'm writing because I want to give you all an update on my job at the Grosse Pointe News.  I'm having so much fun working there.  I am surrounded by fun, engaging and interesting people.  Everyone is totally professional, which is a welcome change from daily life in high school.  It's just wonderful to have a drama free spot where I can just chill out and work peacefully.  As Spring rolls around, I am enjoying the Grosse Pointe News more and more because of the ease of getting here from school.  I really enjoy walking here from 6th Hour.  It's really very quiet and peaceful.  The walk is also somewhat brief, so I don't have to be out for too long if the weather gets chilly.  I did not enjoy the walk during the winter because it was VERY chilly, and the wind just exacerbated the problem.
When I get to work there is always something to be done.  For example today I have updated the calendar with most of the events happening in the Shores park through 2010.  Tomorrow, I will complete the task which, at first, seemed to be a quite daunting task.  Also today, I gave a list of addresses and telephone numbers for local municipalities to my boss, thinking that he might want them for an easy reference guide.  I need to access that information everyday, so I took the initiative to compile it into a list.  My boss loved it and asked me to expand on it.  He asked me to get web addresses, and telephone numbers of specific people within the city governments.  He said that the list would then be distributed to employees as a handy reference guide.  There's always something to do, and I just love it.  I'll have to catch you later!

Not Much Work...

Hey guys.  I'm at work right now.  I don't really have much to do because I have finished all of my work.  My boss doesn't have time to start me on my new project today, so I'm just hanging out doing homework and writing this.  I have another hour until it's time to leave, so I'm going to busy myself with work.  Just thought that I should put this in.

Mid-Winter Break

Hey guys.  Even though the Grosse Pointe School System says that I'm on break, the Grosse Pointe News begs to differ.  : )  I'm at work right now, but I don't think that I'm busy enough.  I'm going o have a great break

Sick

So this morning I woke up at four am and threw up into the trashcan in my room.  I went to the bathroom and threw up some more.  I went and told my mom, who apparently left a note so that I wouldn't be woken up.  I woke up at like 9:30 am this morning and got to school at about 10:20.  Just in time for lunch!  Anyway, I'm not quite sure what it was, but it could have been the flu, a 24 hour bug or even food poisoning.  That's my little story for today.  I missed hours 1-3.  I went to work afterwords.  I found out that one of my co-workers left for another company.  I'll have to send her a card.

Hey Birthday in two

Hey guys.  I turn 18 in two days, so I'm super excited about that.  I've been super-busy, so I haven't really been able to talk much, but I hope to be a little free this comng weekend.  I've been working a lot, and I'm hoping to get an article into the paper for this Thursday.  You should see it in this week's paper.

My First Article

I know that it's been a super long time since I last wrote, but I just have to talk about this.  Next week I should have an article published in the Grosse Pointe News.  I've been working there for three weeks now, and I'm loving every minute of it.  I'll put a link to the article on the website when it officially comes out.

My New Job

Hi guys.  I'm sorry it's been 2 weeks, but these past 2 weeks have been totally insane!  I'm working at the Grosse Pointe News, so that's my co-op.  On an average day, I get home at like 5:30 pm now.  I used to get home at like 3:30.  I love my new job, but I won't get into detail about it here, because some deets are confidential.
