Actually, the farewells took place about 3 weeks ago. I wrote my last news story, uploaded the latest CD review, did some other odds and ends, and took my leave.

What followed were a series of interviews for a fall internship, some with small companies, others, with huge names. Ultimately, I decided to intern for The Nielsen Company– more specifically, for their website, Hey! Nielsen– because they seemed to be about the stuff I am passionate about: all things pop culture.

I started yesterday, and the experience was, in a lot of ways, like Global Rhythm, and conversely, different from GR at the same time. I don’t know if I used “conversely” right there. I hope so.

I get my own cubicle with a huge dying cactus plant behind me. I updated the site with the top ten shows on TV at the moment; the top ten movies out in theatres, etc. The most fun I had was writing a blog about the movies that are coming out this week. Steve, my boss, showed me how to organize a YouTube playlist and link up the movie titles to make the blog post presentable. He didn’t do much in the way of editing the final product, which made me happy.
