3/31/13 - 4/6/13

There were no office hours this week because the game fell on Tuesday. This was a must-win game for the Sharks if they wanted to stay in the playoff hunt. They have been losing a lot of games lately and if the season ended today, they would not be in the playoffs. A Tuesday game may be more slow than a Wednesday game. But it is not too early to start thinking about next year. One of our supervisors, Kristen Moore, told us that tonight would be a good night to take note of anything that should change. She suggested that if we have any better ideas about how a certain station should be run, we should write it down and ask her about it. They are always looking to improve and make things easier. I was with my buddy Finz again today. It was a really easy day as there were no birthdays and not too many promotions in the game. We had a lot of time to visit with fans and sign autographs. A lot of people were happy because he usually doesn't have as much time to interact with fans individually as he did today. The Sharks lost 4-2 but and our playoff hopes are hanging on by a thread.
At this point in the internship, all of the interns are pretty close and all really good friends. This is to be expected because we spend so many hours a week together and have no choice but to get to know each other. It is fun getting to know and work with people from different colleges. I am glad I have gotten to connect not just with the people in the front office, but my fellow interns as well.
