This week I have been on vacation in Florida, so I have been really disconnected from the station. My mentor and the station approved the vacation at the beginning of summer, but I did not contact anyone from Sports 56 at all this week. I really took advantage of my week off, but looking back on it now, I feel like I should have at least text the other interns or my mentor to ask how everything was going there. Maybe they could have used my help in booking guest this week.
Having the week off has been great. It was really relaxing, but I really learned how out of the loop you could be just from one week off. I feel like this realization can really help me in the future because now I know what I will have to do when I have a career. I know I will need to keep up with my colleagues and bosses. I know I still need to continue research and keep up what is going on in the sports world, so I will be ready to go when I get back.
There is nothing wrong with a vacation, but I know now that I still must put in a little work to keep up.
