The first two days of my internship were exciting and productive...
The time has come for my internship to start. I head into the building. The one thing I had in my head was to not be starstruck when I met my new co-workers, who I have read their material and some I have seen on T.V. Believe it on not, this was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I immediately met Sherrod Blakely (Celtics insider) and Mary Paoletti (Wicked Good Sports Blog) and they made me feel at home. They welcomed me to sit down with them and chat until my boss, Art Martone arrived. Sherrod, a Syracuse grad, began flaunting his Orange paraphernalia to Mary, a UConn grad (a running joke around the office full of Syracuse grads.)
Things were also surprisingly very casual in my first interaction. For some reason it was very cold in the office, Mary wrapped herself in a blanket that looked eerily like a snuggie. This, much to her frustration, led to many comments around the office throughout the afternoon.
and i digress...
Art arrived and I began to learn what I would be doing over the duration of my internship. The base of my day was spend learning the dreaded Platformic media system. This is the program that is responsible for posting articles and editing the CSN web site. As I learned the system somewhat quickly, I began searching social network sites like twitter for any stories of importance. After finding something headline worthy, I was able to write a little something and post it.

Its really nothing special, but it is very exciting seeing your work on a web site for everyone in New England to see.
