Working the 9-to-5

It's Saturday morning, and I just finished my first week as an intern at the Knoxville News-Sentinel. I put in seven hours yesterday, and apparently everything I write will now be in AP style...

But in a week's time, I have already submitted five stories, two of which will run front page tomorrow. 'No pressure or anything,' they say; 'it's not as if we have a circulation of 100,000 or anything.'

And the first story, seen here on the website, has already garnered 80 responses. Not too shabby.

Besides the working life, I'm trying to stay in shape. I'm getting over a chest injury at the moment, and I'm going to try a cross country race tomorrow. We'll see how it goes!
