I can now say that I had an incredible day. Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009, was the best day of 2009 thus far. I woke up ridiculously tired and not wanting to get out of bed. I dragged my butt out of bed, got ready for the day, and left for the front office of the Chicago Slaughter Pro Indoor Football team, where I have my internship.
I began the morning by transcribing interviews of two new players recently acquired from the Chicago Rush and of head coach Steve McMichael.
Steve Arch, the man in charge of the media of the team, then came to the office and gave me another assignment. I was given information on the team's new offensive line coach Bob McMillen. I had to write a piece on him, and this piece is going to be put into the game day program that all of the fans receive at the game! Something I write will be seen by hundreds, if not thousands, of fans, media personnel and the like!
Because I am going to be helping with game day media as well, I was given cell phone numbers of two former Chicago Bears players! My dream job, the reason I chose to become a sports journalism major, is to be a sideline reporter for the Bears! This may be my way in!
After leaving the office, I had to face I-90 to get to school. The only problem I encountered was the traffic back up (traffic on 90... never!) beginning at the exit I had to get off at. I found free parking, and even made it to class on time.
I am not a morning person. So for this incredible stuff to happen before noon just blows my mind. Nothing could bring me down on Feb. 12!
