RODALE

Friday sept 12th I got to step into the Rodale offices!! It's soooo amazing that I got the opportunity! I interviewed with Jessica Sokol for an internship with Prevention magazine!! the office was really pretty! it was very modern. Her office was small and had a sliding glass door as office door! I learned so much in the interview! I learned they use CS2, and they only work weekdays!! Jessica taught me all about the magazine. They did a redesign in 2007 and changed things like the size of the font, they stopped using light pastel colors for their text, they stopped having text on colored bars and a few other things I can't think of at the moment! it was fun to find out that Jessica was working on the December issue and that's the one with the biggest loser on it so she couldn't show me!
Jessica also told me that their newstand sales are down, and there online readers are a totally different audience than the print readers.
The interview went ok, I wasn't nervous but I don't think I asked the right questions in order to leave a good impression, so well see if I get it! I feel really blessed to have gotten the opportunity to go and interview!

Friday night I cheered at my first soccer game at St. Johns! It was pouring down rain, so we wore our sweatshirts jackets and pants. It's crazy cheering at the games there's no room. I'm so glad that the band didn't show up so that we didn't have to dance at the game, because I don't think there is room to dance. I really just like competitive cheer, games are so exhausting. we were on our feet for about 5 hours. we have to get to the games so early and then sit there and wait for the girls game to get over. Its kind of sad that we don't cheer for the girls, but I don't think I could last for two whole games. The cool thing about the game is that we got free t-shirts! I like t-shirts its like all I wear!
Although the game was really long and we got a little wet it wasn't to terribly bad! We won so thankfully we didnt go into overtime!
After the game I ordered some chinese food and did a little homework while watching a tv show online! and then I went to bed!
