The Summer Internship That Keeps on Giving

This past summer, I was an intern for PC Magazine, writing articles for 2 technology blogs. It was a lot of fun, and recently, I found out that my highest read blog post of the summer had an even larger audience than I thought.

I discovered through my friend and the other intern at PC Mag, that my blog post on a Sixth Grader winning a Google Doodle contest was the third highest read blog post on Appscout.com, a blog about Websites, and cool new applications, for 2008. Carol, my senior editor there told me this summer that it had about 25,000 hits. I guess now it got more.

Here is the new Appscout Blog post about my 3rd place status:

The Article that Got All The Hits

Real Life Now Begins

Dude, it's been forever since I wrote last. Things for me have been going well. I finally graduated from BYU! I'm waiting for my diploma to be mailed and hopefully it will come soon. In the meantime, I have already started my new job as assistant editor for Utah Business magazine. It so far has been a great job. I manage the online content, including stories, videos, podcasts, blogs, and more.

Christmas this year was awesome too. My family got a Nintendo Wii and Guitar Hero. I got a bunch of clothes for work and a new phone, thank goodness. Let me just say that Razr phones suck and I will never buy another one ever. I have an EnV 2. It's been a lot of fun and texting on it is way easier than any phone I have ever had.

I am right now staying with my parents in South Jordan until I find a new place to live. I am looking at apartments and saving some money in the meantime. I am also looking into getting a credit card, some furniture, and a bed. Real life has now begun. There are no more furnished apartments anymore. That luxury died when I left Provo. It is such a relief to be done with school though. I don't have to worry about another assignment or test for my entire life. Although, I might go to grad school later on in life so that may not be true. We shall see.
