Florida in Four Days

This Saturday, I head to St. Petersburg for the Poynter Institute Summer Fellowship, essentially a journalism internship at the greatest training facility for said industry. But it still hasn't really sunk in that I'm going across the country (literally west coast to east!) for two weeks. Even worse, I'm the only student from a two-year school out of the 40 attending.

You might say I'm a little intimidated. But then again, I've never let that stop me before.

What's more, you know this whole thing is expensive! My plane ticket was paid for (thanks new mother-in-law), and my Dad is supposedly covering the hotel: 14 days aint cheap in Florida, so that's a huge boost!

I still haven't even started getting a list together concerning what I might need. Aside from my laptop, I better start preparing for this thing ... like, now! Then there's all the laundery I need to finish before leaving, and the online training seminars which I have yet to delve into (That's a whole lot of online work). Sheesh, between Little League and The Sentinel the past few weeks I haven't had time to even think about Florida. Much less get my iPod ready for the day-long travel between airports and planes.

Wish me luck, I better figure this thing out soon!

Oh, and I know it's old-fashioned, but I haven't sent a postcard to anyone in YEARS... Send me your snail-mail addy, and I'll definitely shoot some out from Florida. Even better, I'll try and take pictures myself and print them at Kinkos to mail out.

God, I am a geek.
