Summer in New York City
June 07, 2008
Two weeks ago I moved to New York City. I am spending the summer here interning for Fox News Channel. Before I started the internship, I had a couple of days to learn my way around the city, get used to taking the subway, etc.
What a drastic change it's been. In the last year I have lived in Portland, Oregon; Helena, Montana; Prague, Czech Republic, and now New York, NY. They have all been unique places to live.
My hours at Fox are 8 am to 6 pm, Tuesday-Friday. I am up by 5:30 am, eat oatmeal for breakfast, am on the subway by 6:45. After work I make dinner and head to the gym. The internship is unpaid, but an awesome opportunity to meet and work under so many influential and talented people. I am living in an apartment at Columbia University with two other people who are interning at ABC and CBS News.
New York is an amazing place and I am thrilled to be spending my summer here. My favorite things about it are: Central Park, Columbus Circle, Bagels w/ cream cheese, diverse foods, different neighborhoods, and of course the newsroom that I spend several hours a day.
Let me know if you happen to be passing through New York City at all this summer!
More later,
Patrick
