Internal Affairs

I had lunch with a couple colleagues and friends of colleagues today. They didn’t tell me the conversation was “off the record,” so I’m safe to blog about it. I’m not giving all the details, but I will say we had an interesting conversation about the state of journalism in this country, especially in light of scandals rocking the industry.

We had lunch at an awesome Mexican restaurant in the West End. We opted to sit inside since it looked ominous outside. The department head told me this morning that it’s weird to have this much rain. I’m not big on the heat, but the heat with the rain is just uncomfortable.

I consider it progress that, at the end of my second full week, I can identify a couple Dallas neighborhoods. I’m also feeling a bit more comfortable at work, with a few assignments in the works. It seems as if I am finding my way.

Next week I’m gearing up for a big story, so I’m thinking I won’t be blogging much. Hopefully my fellow interns will come back from the weekend with some good blog posts.

Then again, I am thinking about going to the Dr Pepper museum tomorrow, maybe I’ll come back with a story.
