MY LAST DAY!

I cannot believe that today is my last day! I've learned so much during these past three weeks and i will take everything i learned with me everywhere i go. When i first started the internship i had no interest in becoming an librarian, but after meeting the librarians at HCL i can honestly say that i will consider becoming a librarian. Even if i don't become an librarian i will never forget all of the librarians at HCL, they welcome me with open arms when i first started the internship.

I would like to thank Tina for everything that she has done for me. Tina, you are one of the nicest people i have ever met and i will never forget all of the things that you have done for me! I will definitely stay in touch! (you don't have to worry about that)

I also want to thank all of the employees at HCL. You guys took time of your busy schedule to explain your job titles and make us feel welcome. To everyone who Steven and i interviewed i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because of you guys we were able to write good articles.

Once again i would like to thank everyone who helped Steven and I especially with the podcasts!

I had an awesome time while i was here and i am sad that i am leaving

Well bye for now! (you will be seeing a lot of me)

WEEK 3- DAY 14!

OMG! Tomorrow is the last of my internship! No more waking up in the morning! Sike just joking. But wow i cannot believe that after tomorrow i won't be here anymore. I really am going to miss this place but don't worry i will be in touch.

Well today we interview Rhonda Altonen the media specialist here at HCL and i really enjoyed the interview. I learned that ever though she has been a librarian for 20 years she still wanted to challenge herself. She is currently in school to recieve her MLS.

Tomorrow is our last interview and as you know it will be with Dr. Cohen. From what i hear Dr. Cohen is a funny character and i cannot wait to interview him.

See ya 2morrow!

WEEK 3- DAY 12!

Today we did another podcast interview with Dr. Corbin. We used our old recorder and the recorder that Abbey gave us so hopefully the quality of the podcast is better than our first podcast.


Dr. Corbin was a really cool person. I learned numerous things about integrated medicine and alternative medicine. Our podcast is currently under construction but i can't wait until its finished.

Tomorrow there aren't any interviews scheduled so that will give us some extra time working on our podcasts. On Thrusday we are going to interview Rhonda and then our last interview will be on friday.

Wow i can't believe that in 3 more days our internship will be over :(

OH i gotta go... see ya 2morrow

WEEK 3- DAY 11!

Wow its already the last week! I've been having fun for the past two weeks but i have to admit i can't wait to have my summer back (lol). It will be a total of eight weeks that i have been on this campus and its a been an awesome experience.

Today wasn't a busy day that i was used to. We did have an interview today but it got cancelled :( By not having to do the interview it gave us more time to work on our podcast. Jim from IT helped us get our audio file on the computer and into MP3 format.

Now that we have our audio file we have to edit the file. We were having some problems with that so we asked Abbey to help. She has more experience in podcasting so anything that she does will be a great help.

Tomorrow will have another podcast interview and Abbey was kind enough to let us borrow her recorder that already has an USB connection. Hopefully tomorrow's interview won't have any problems.

(P.S I want to thank IT department and Abbey for all of their help.

WEEK 2- DAY 10!

Today was the big day! lol We finally got to interview Dr. Winn! He is such an amazing and inspiring character. We took the shuttle to the 9th ave. campus which was pretty cool. I got to see the old Denison library that everyone was talking about and wow the new library is a huge upgrade!

While interviewing Dr. Winn you can see how modest he is. His Curriculum Vitae was over 13 pages long and by talking with him you couldn't have know. I look at Dr. Winn as a role model because there aren't many African Americans in the health field especially as the Assistant Dean of Admissions. I just felt really honored that i got to interview such a cool person.

We tried to get our podcast on the computer but we are having some problems hopefully we can figure out what's wrong.

TGIF!! This was such a BUSY week! At least tomorrow is a Saturday and i can sleep in! See yall on Monday! BYE!!

WEEK 2- DAY 9!

Today was really fun! At 9:00 Steven and I went to see the rare artifacts and books. All I have to say is wow! I saw a book that was dated back to the 1800’s! Not many people can say that they seen an old doctors bag from the civil war. I’m happy that I was blessed with the opportunity to see all of the rare artifacts.

After our artifacts tour we interviewed Lisa Traditi, the Head of education. Lisa Traditi is a really funny lady. We got to play with her flying monkey and we also learned about the head of education does.

Later on in the day Steven and I went to a PubMed class. The class was really helpful. I learned how to search for articles and learned that Google isn’t always a good place to search for health related topics.

Tomorrow is or interview with Dr. Winn. I cannot wait but I’m kind of nervous at the same time! Hopefully the interview will go well and we figure out how to put our recordings on the computer!
