My 8th Week @ JAMN 94.5

This week at JAMN things were pretty much the same as they have been. I've been podcasting regularly, I've been submitting my ideas and facebook statuses, and I've also been submitting "List" ideas for Santi. The "list" is a segment Santi does every morning. Typically the list is a step by step process of something, or just a funny simple list about things that happen in life. For example, one of the list I submitted today was "Most Tweeted About Thanks Giving Foods". Santi has used 2 or 3 of my list, which is pretty exciting. Today I asked him if I am going in the right direction with my discussion ideas and list and he told me he loves them so that's a good thing.

Even though I feel a little stuck, today I emailed Santi and asked him if I can continue my internship with them. I truly do enjoy my time there and I absolutely love JAMN. I am aware that in order to reach success one must be patient and persistent. I;ve been with iHeat Media (clearchannel) since May and I would love to stay for another semester to see what happened.

My 7th Week @ JAMN 94.5

So this week I only came in on Thursday as well because I had many projects and things to take care of at school. I notified Justin & Santi on Monday morning asking them if it was okay and they both approved. Today I did pod casting and came up with discussion Ideas for the show. I'm not going to lie, it's kind of depressing to come in after Monster Jam knowing that I could have gone but I didn't. Either way, I'm glad that it went well for the station and I hope the concerts continue being successful in the future.

On the bright side, at the end of my shift today Santi let me know that he used one of my idead for an entire segment last week so that's very exciting!

My 6th Week @ JAMN 94.5

This week I only came in on Thursday because I lost my wallet and had no way to get here because my charlie card and money was in the stolen wallet. I communicated that to Justin and everyone in the station was very understanding. When I did come in, all I did was podcast the on-air segments and that's pretty much it.

This week was pretty slow. Although I enjoy my time here at JAMN, I feel like I have way more to offer. I wish I can do more than just pod-casting. Today I also found out that I am no longer going to be helping out at Monster Jam (neither are any of the other interns). I asked Santi why and he answered that because they are now having Monster Jam at a new location, this venue is very strict and doesn't allow interns there.

Receiving this news is very sad to me, because right when I thought I was going to do something exciting, the opportunity disappears :(

Week 6

My 5th Week @ JAMN 94.5

This week at JAMN has been a little slow. I'm kind of getting bored of podcasting, handling the ticket give-away, and submitting ideas. I wish there was something more that I can do. I would like to show my talent more. This week I was introduced to Ashlee, she was an intern 4 years ago. Her & I share an office now and she handles all the phone calls and I only take care of the podcasting now. She is a full time employee here at the station. I guess you could say she is someone I look up too because she was in my position four years ago. Now that I will only be podcasting & submitting ideas, I will make sure to give more ideas and better ideas. There is no room for errors. I have also been following my "goal chart" perfectly, which hopefully that will allow me to get noticed. This week Santi sent out an email so I can help out at Monster Jam, so that's what I will be looking out for during week 6 :)

My Fourth Week @ JAMN 94.5

My fourth week at JAMN 94.5 has been good. I already have a set routine for the way I do things and I feel quite comfortable .This week consisted of the same old podcasting and ticket give-away. Like I mentioned before, I am here on Tuesdays & Thursdays, so if  you want to listen to what I do, check out all of the Tuesday & Thursdays podcast online. Also, last week I created a Goal Chart that includes a step-by-step guide to accomplish my goal here at JAMN. I have it posted on my internship binder, and the bulletin board in my room. I started following my guide on Thursday and I felt grate about it. As part of my idea sheet I also print out my facebook statuses that get over 20 comments and give them to Santi as part of my idea sheets.

Things my goal chart include:

- Show up no later than 5:50 every morning

-Look presentable every morning

-Make myself available to everyone, get people water of coffee

-Give Santi my facebook statuses as par of my ideas

-Ask Justin if he needs extra help

-Get lost around the office with hopes of meeting something new

My Third Week @ JAMN 94.5

This week my internship was pretty boring. Nothing exciting really happened, but I still enjoyed my time there. I did the regular podcasting and ticket giveaway. I told Justin that I am willing to do something more challenging because I want to be more helpful towards him, and I also want to learn more. On Thursday Santi gave me a project which I completed right away. He had me make a list of the funniest or most entertaining instagram pages that I follow, and also a list with the randomest college iPhone apps that I know. This project was very fun for me as I enjoy things that have to do with social media and technology. I am also still handing in my ideas at the end of every shift. Being at JAMN does not feel like a job, I enjoy my time there and I always stick around for 5 or 10 minutes after my shift is over just in case they need anything. I also always go over to Kiss 108 and make myself available to them.

My Second Week @ JAMN 94.5

My second week at JAMN 94.5 WAS amazing! A few of my discussion ideas were used on tuesday´s show which made me feel very accomplished. If you want to listen to my ideas that went live on the air, you can click the podcast section on JAMN945.com, and find the link that says, ¨The Craziest Thing you´ve Done To Get Back With An Ex¨. The discussion was a success. We got hundreds of phone calls and the public had a lot of feedback. 

This was yet another confirmation that the entertainment industry is where I belong. Every week I have one on ones with Santi, and during our last one we discussed many things. He told me to keep up the good work and that he appreciates all of my ideas.
