First Day

To all whom have interest,

To get things started you all should know that all my blog post will have grammatical errors and I would love for you all to save the comments for the peanut gallery. Anyways, in spite of the internship and people asking me how its going I decided to create a blog where I can give everyone a mass update! I am hoping to write about every other day but who knows how this will go... It is my first time blogging.

A little background information: In the winter I received an email that was sent to all the sports management students at OU about this possible internship. I ended up applying and after a few phone interviews, a small video of myself and a little luck I got the internship. Before my arrival today I didn't really know any details about the internship besides that I would be traveling with a group going to youth baseball tournaments marketing, selling, and promoting a specific sponsor.

Today was the first day and lets just say that I learned a lot more. My mom dropped me off around noon and I was put to work immediately. They had all sorts of equipment setting out and they had us start counting inventory of different products. While counting and talking with several other people I discovered more about what we will doing over the summer. I figured out that on Monday we will figure out what region we will be assigned to. The website is baseballyouth.com/road-trip and all the possibilities are listed there on the right hand side. I'm hoping to be assigned the south :))) I also learned that we will be leaving Lexington, KY on either the 22nd, 23rd, or 24th depending on our region. In each region, there will be a group of about 8 of us selling/marketing different sponsors. Once we are assigned a certain sponsor for the summer we will be sticking with it the entire summer.

Anyways, these are the small things I learned today. I can tell the next week should be pretty hectic, but once we are on the road things should start to get fun. I am taking everything in and trying to take as much info in as possible. I am also the youngest one here!! Most the other interns just graduated. But I need to head to bed. Hopefully I will learn more information tomorrow.
