After the Institute, I finished my last semester at UA, where I did a lot of blogging and multimedia stories for Border Beat. I was also named a Chips Quinn Scholar, and after graduation I went to the Freedom Forum in Nashville to work on more multimedia and to get prepared for my summer internship. I interned for three months at the Orange County Register, at the north county office in Anaheim. I was lost driving one of my first days there (and almost every day after), when I realized I was among Mickey Mouse-shaped bushes. I was at Disneyland, my office was something like two stoplights east.
At the Orange County Register, I mainly covered the city of Placentia. It was a fun and challenging experience to (just about) cover a city myself. While in the OC, I met up with Cindy Von Quednow, who lives in Los Angeles. We spent July 4 together and one weekend, I talked her into going to the San Diego Zoo with me.
Fast forward to the new year... I don't have a job. I don't live in sunny So. Cal anymore, I live in sunny Phoenix. I'm job hunting. Have any good leads?
