Hello NTM blog fans!

It’s Mandy the summer intern! At the beginning of the summer I wrote a blog post to introduce myself and share some of my embarrassing intern moments but now I am writing to say goodbye!

Yes, it’s true my internship has come to an end, and I am so sad to see it go. Soon I will be moving back to the great city of Athens, Georgia to start my junior year and to watch the soon-to-be SEC CHAMPS, THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS, travel to victory! No haters please!

The summer has gone by extremely fast and I have enjoyed every second of my internship. I think fans should have a meet-and-greet with the "News To Me" team because they are amazing! There have been a lot of great stories on NTM this summer and a few of my favorites have been: vbs.tv’s Shane Smith’s trip to North Korea, Jonathan Harris’s rare experience as seen on thewhalehunt.org, and of course Kyle Macdonald’s hard-to-believe story of the one red paper clip. If you happen to miss a show… well lets face it you won’t… but if you do check out the hotlinks section of the blog or our archive to get caught up on the stories!

Well people my infamous interning path has come to an end and as I turn in my now expired badge I leave CNN with hope that one day (fingers crossed) I will return once again!

Hello to all of the "NTM" fans! My name is Mandy and I am the summer intern for the hit show on CNN Headline News, “News To Me.” This is my first blog post ever people so bear with me!! I am writing this so that I can introduce myself to all of you and maybe give you some insight to what interning is like! I am a rising junior at UGA and I am majoring in Broadcast Journalism. I have been on the infamous interning path for almost four weeks now! Yes people, I am dressed to kill (professionally of course) with my notepad in hand. Ready to unlock and infiltrate the news world, and get what every intern hopes for... that one foot in the door to prepare for nightly news domination!

I am one girl out of six guys working on this show and if you saw Eric’s recent post where he answered your questions about how many people work on the show and why he is bald, yes I am that crucial little ½ of where the magic happens! When I am not logging interviews, carrying equipment on shoots, or trying my best to find content for the show here in my little nook at CNN (that's me in my luxurious "nook" in the picture above) I am joining the guys at what they call “the creek” aka: the production house (can you tell that I am trying to pick up the cool work lingo so that I can try to fit in a little bit more). That's where all the exciting behind the scenes editing goes on. When I’m there I hear the sweet sounds of Eric Lanford “singing” the renowned hit song “Mandy” by Barry Manilow so he can remember my name... or maybe he just loves Barry Manilow!

As an intern I think that everyone has to have at least one absolutely mortifying moment their first day on the job. Keep reading to find out what mine was!
