Jan 12: Out with the old, in with the new
New semester, new intern, same feeling. Instead of teachers I now report to bosses, I've made the move from classroom to cubicle, and the part that's hardest for me: late nights have become early mornings. Now 6:30 a.m. is when I wake up, not when I go to bed. I haven't gotten up this early since high school and it hurts. And it's only week one of sixteen.

Nevertheless, I say a fond goodbye to the University of Florida, but an eager hello to the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau!

With my first week of free labor under my belt, I feel prepared to conquer my next task: reacquainting myself with greater Fort Lauderdale. Coming home for my internship was my way of getting back to the familiar. Only problem is, I'm not familiar with this place at all! I've come to see that I never knew just how much there was to "home." But I'm going to do something about it.

So now, in a Columbus-esque fashion, my mission is discovery.

New things to see, do, learn. I couldn't be more ready. Should I start at BeachPlace on A1A and work my way back west? Or should I start from my home base of Coral Springs and travel south to wherever I-95 takes me? I guess planning didn't do much for Columbus, so maybe I'm better off being a wanderer for the time being.

Wherever I end up, you'll be sure to read about it. I'm anxious to partake in what greater Fort Lauderdale has to offer, so get ready to sail, mates...it's going to be quite a trip. New discoveries await us.

Until next time...
