My Internship at Llanelli Star

Yesterday I went out to say goodbye and thank you to everyone who worked at my internship. If you don’t know my internship was at Llanelli Star South Wales Evening Post, a local news paper company in South Wales. It was actually such a really cool experience for me, and the people were some of the kindest people I’ve ever met before.. And the editor was extremely good looking. I tried to have an affair with him but it didn’t work. Going out to Llanelli was a little hard because it took over 45 minutes to get there by bus, but I started to really enjoy the commute after I started doing it regularly. Getting breakfast by the bus stop in the morning at this cute little diner was a really peaceful time that I actually kind of looked forward to. I got to know the journalists working in the editorial room pretty well, especially Geraint. He was freaking hilarious, and took me out to lunch a few times, I felt bad that he kept treating me, but he insisted. Some of the female journalists were also really nice, and I got to know them pretty well too. They opened up to me after a while, and I felt really comfortable around everyone. Everyone was really sweet to me. Other than the people, I know the internship in general was really good for me, I don’t necessarily think I want to be a journalist, but working in the editorial room was so interesting, and I learned so much from it. They had me write few short articles for them, and published one in the paper! It was a really cool feeling to be in the paper, and I started to feel so much more confident about my writing during the time I was there. They had me go out into the town and get quotes from the locals about issues they were writing about, and let me come along to some of their interviews. One of the journalists also had me come to court with her one day, I really liked this, even though it was a little awkward because the man on trial was guilty for taking child pornographic pictures. It was hard to look at him. gross. I’m really happy I ended up doing the internship, even though the final paper I had to write was really annoying. I am going to miss the people who worked there, especially Geraint, he was an extremely sweet man. I decided to make them chocolate chip scones and bring them a box of chocolates to thank them – I was going to bring Geraint flowers but then realized he may be offended or something so I just got him a four pack of Guinness – he really like that… I could tell.
I’m happy the internships over so I can have more free time, even though I have way too much free time already, but I will for sure miss them, and some parts of Llanelli. It’s weird to think I'll probably never be back there again.. Good memories.
