Yesterday, I drove to Tyler, briefly interviewed Congressman Louie Gohmert, checked the police beat, wrote two briefs based on police department media releases, called police about a drive-by shooting that afternoon and wrote another brief about it, and tried to get information about a woods fire that happened in a different county.
I also cleaned out my desk and said my final farewells as a summer intern to the newspaper staff.
It's weird. This is the first time I've had a job where leaving was actually bittersweet. Everyone there told me I did a fantastic job over the summer. I'm assuming they were sincere in this since the editors told me they would be happy to hire me part-time during the school year.
At the moment, that part-time opportunity seems appealing. It will take a few weeks before I know if I can handle part-time work with my current schedule.
