Hello reader!
First of all, thanks for stopping by and reading this first entry…or at least for reading this far. I hope you will stick around and enjoy my adventure with me. In this entry, I will summarize the first 2 days of my internship, which will last a total of 28 (excluding weekends). In real time, I just finished day 15, but I’ll catch you up soon enough.

Eliza Cooper, a junior at Connecticut College, is doing an internship in the Development department at the National Braille Press in Boston. She's originally from California, and is a psychology-based Human Relations major (and an undeclared English minor). On campus, she's been involved in Chamber Choir, Percussion Ensemble, and the college radio station (WCNI), and will be the Housefellow of Smith House in her senior year. Although she's not exactly sure what field of work she wants to go into, she thinks she'd like editing at a publishing company or magazine or go into advertising or public relations.
