Updating my blog...

The week 10/14 to 10/19 I continued to work on advances and updating calendar events. The following week I didn't come in because I had some doctor stuff and the magazine was wrapping up for the November issue. After my mini "vacation" I was assigned to update dates and information on the Holiday Events calendar featured annually in December. This past week I was given a handful of advances to complete in addition to an assignment that I'm covering this week. Basically, Out and About is sponsoring the DSL, Delaware Sports League, which revolves primarily around the bar scene while lightly incorporating sports such as kickball and ultimate frisbee. They're going to have a game Tuesday followed by relaxing at Catherine Rooney's (which I've never been to) afterward. I just turned 21, so the timing was impeccable. They're also going to be at Klondike Kate's Monday (tomorrow) so I'm going to see if I can head up there as well. I really wish I had a car so I didn't have to set up a ride (very inconvenient - note to self, get a car if planning on being actual journalist). Other than that, Bob Downing, the head of DSL from what I gather, offered me a job collecting money and "promoting" DSL. By promoting I can only assume that I will dazzle potential DSL members with my snarky wit and startling eloquence. Anyway, this is the first time I'm going "on assignment," so to speak so I'm incredibly nervous as well as excited. Wish me luck!
