Communications Internship 3/3/2021

 Over the past couple of weeks there have been some chaotic things happening that have prevented me from being consistent with my internship. The freezing temperatures that put us out of school for a week were a big disruptions, but now I am starting to get back on track and getting back into the routine. I have written about the upcoming art market, by putting a spotlight on two artists, one from middle school and one from High school. I have also written about the Chinese New Year celebration our school has had, and a Spanish yoga class. Although it has been a little chaotic getting back into a routine, I have still found it very interesting to be able to experiment with some different types of writing. I have been able to put spotlights on different students, do some photo galleries, write about cultural events, and all around expand my abiliites through these articles. I have also learned the value of planning ahead and prepping for what I am going to write, because this way it puts much less stress on me the actual week. I had never really thought about planning for writing and article, but now that I have done it and put the work into it a few days ahead it has made the whole process much more smooth and pleasant.

Josey - Writespace (19) 2/27/20

This week I went back to Writespace after a couple weeks of not being able to go. When I first got there I started off with looking around online for small presses and publishing companies in Houston. This took some time, but I was trying to find companies that sort of fit the idea of Writespace and had the same sort of works published as people were writing there. So after some digging I found a few places around Austin, Dallas and some other cities and added them to my google sheet. Next I went into eventbrite and set up the emails to attendees for the workshops. These are importat becuase they remind people this event is upcoming and also give them an idea of what to expect from this workshop. To finish up my time at workshop I added some new events to google calendar, which I have done before but is a pretty straightforward task in organization. That was all the time I had but I feel like I was able to get a decent amount done and make some good contributions in all of the tasks th...

Josey - 6ft (2) 9/25/19

Today was the day I actually went to 6ft press and did work from there. I arrived and met Mr. Voorhees who turns out is super nice and got a little tour of there space. The whole space is super nice with lots of room and three floors. We went into his office and I learned more about what his job was at 6ft press, who he worked with and I met a lot of people who worked with him. So we just talked for a while about what I was interested in and what I wanted to learn about while I was there then I started working on reading these twitter posts about Native Americans. He had this idea for a story about Native Americans who traveled to London and the Carribbean from Florida because of a twitter post he had seen. So I looked through all the posts and tried to find more links of articles about something along the lines of this. So for about 45 minutes I worked on this before I was invited to go and have a demonstration of a virtual reality company that was there. They had VR goggles and you c...

Josey - Writespace (18) 2/6/20

This week I went back to Writespace and started by updating a few things in Eventbrite. Something with the workshop ticket pricing had been off so I needed to fix this for a few of the workshops. This did ot take me too long and afterwards I moved on to the task that would take me the rest of my time there. This was also a job that needed to be done in Eventbrite but this was actually making new events to add onthe website. I have done this before a few weeks ago and so after I quick refresher I got back into the rhythm of it. I went through quite a few workshops including all of April, May and some of June. This taks is not very complicated but it takes paying attention to details to make sure you get all the dates right, the time right and the ciket pricing. Since there are lots of workshops to go through this took me the rest of the time I had at Writespace, but I was able to get some practice in using Eventbrite. Although it wasn't my most eventful time at Writespace I feel lik...
