Third Week of Internship 1/23/12 through 1/27/12

In my third week of my internship I continue to do office work like updating schedules and recording results for sports teams.  One new thing I did this week was uptading a brochure for the Methodist Softball team.  The brochure includes the schedule, players and their bios, and summaries of what is coming up.  I learned how to insert pictures and how to create a brochure.  Also, last Friday I helped out the Methodist Basketball team with their fundraiser for 'Play for Kay.'  This fundraiser sold items such as bracelets, cups, and shirts for breast cancer.  This taught me how to sell merchandise and how to interact with others.  I look forward to doing more activities with sports teams.  I also hope to learn how to use more software on the computer.

Hours worked: 7 hours

Second Week of Internship 1/17/12 through 1/20/12

During my second week of my internship, I started doing some new things.  I still cut up newspaper articles and updated schedules, but this week I used a program called Indesign.  This is a program where I can make things like pamphlets for things like sports events.  For now, I just updated the Methodist University Softball and Lacrosse schedules and team members on the pamphlets.  Also, I transferred information for Track records onto PDF files and linked them to their website found on the Methodist Athletic Webpage.  I learned how to link and edit files on the website.  Some of the things I found to be difficult was how to use the Indesign program.  I think if I work more with it I will be able to figure out how to use all the tools without asking for help.  I am really curious to see what else I am going to do this semester, and I hope to use more of the programs on the computer.

Hours worked: 6 hours

First Week of Internship 1/09/12 through 1/13/12

In my first week of my internship, I have done quite a few things already.  One of the first things that I was assigned to do was to cut out and copy newspaper articles involving the sports of Methodist University.  After I cut out the articles and copied them using a copy machine, I posted the articles on a bulletin board inside the Riddle Center so everyone can read them.  Another job I have to do is working with the Methodist Athletic Website page.  So far, I have posted schedules for some of the sport's teams and picked out pictures to post on the website.  For the majority of my internship I will be completing office work.  However, I did help out with the music during one of the Women's Basketball games.  I have definitely learned a lot about how to input information on a website.  I also hope to learn more about how to run and organize a web page.  

Hours worked: 9 hours
