One Project down, many more to go

After a successful trip to the community center, I was happy to have pictures that matched the experience.

After my hundreds of pictures (literally), now came the enduring task of filtering the good pictures from the bad, and so the number began to shrink. From 324 to 258 to 134 to 108 to 56 to 50 . . . from 324 to 50, I got it down. From there I was able to put my top 50 pictures on the server, which I later was given suggestions of which pictures others thought were some of the best. Through process of elimination I was able to pick the perfect picture, this is when I realized, I had just finished my first project for Buckner *fireworks exploding* *Band marching* *People applauding*

To commemorate the completion of my first project I sent an email to my department with my finished picture, telling them thanks for all their help. It was great to hear the responses of congratulations to even some sarcatic ones. Still have some bosses who only refer to me as the "intern," but after all isn't that my title?

Lunch was definitely different today was we had another corporate lunch, which I never complain about. We had a guest who was about my age as she wanted some advice and who better to tell her advice than the people who she could relate with most. It was cool to hear her story and for me and the other intern to tell her ours, as she happened to be a younger college student than us. From telling her our experiences so far, to telling her about possible avenues to prepare her for becoming an upperclassmen in college, we definitely enjoyed a lunch which was beneficial to everyone . . . including my stomach.

Now that one tasks was done, I began to start working on my other ones today. With my schedule of wanting to knock out one media list a week I began to chip away at working on one of the media lists, as I started with major cities in Texas first and will eventually work on the smaller towns later.

Overall, today was more a motivational boost than anything. I saw that I was able to do a project efficiently, and with great quality, while getting a sense of belonging, you really can't put that into words. Who knows what types of motivational boosts I have in store. . . Until then, Stay Tuned.
