Funny thing is, at the orientation for this internship we were asked to write down three things that, if asked to do, would probably terrify us. The catch? We would meet one-on-one with the president of D and work on overcoming one of these "fears." The kicker? Pretty sure covering a luncheon with the mayor qualified as one of my fears. Well, now that I've got that crossed off...
I started a fall internship at D magazine two weeks ago. In the midst of moving to a new city it's been wonderful to be excited to go to work everyday in a fun office environment surrounded by supportive interns (two fellow MU alums!) and staff. Besides daily rounds of fact-checking information, anything from verifying listings of upholstery shops and mechanics to stories about ex-Dallas mayors and hole-in-one insurance brokers (yes, you really do learn something new everyday), I've gotten to do a bit of writing already! Take a look for yourself. Both are featured on D blogs, the FrontBurner and SideDish. One is about a luncheon featuring Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert; the other covers the grand opening of Buttons Restaurant in Addison, Tx.
