This will probably be my last post before I am in Colorado! My brother and I are driving out to Colorado Springs on Thursday. We're leaving at like 4am so that we can drive straight through (not my idea...my brother does not like stopping once he gets started on a road trip)...we should end up in Colorado by dinner time! Since I can't move into the USOC dorms until June 1, I'm staying with Ruth and Steven for a couple of days. It'll be nice getting to explore the Springs a bit before moving in.
My first day of actual work is June 2. There are two interns in my department, myself and a guy from New York named Brandon. He and I have been emailing back and forth this week, so it'll be nice having someone right away who I already kind of feel like I know. He's got a ton of video production experience and said he'll teach me a bit about it, so I'm excited for that! I think he and I will work well together, and it seems like our skills will complement each other nicely!
4 days until I leave for Colorado...8 until I move into the US Olympic Training Center!

Step One is Done
My background check is complete! And all of my paperwork (so far) is submitted to the USOC!
All I have to do now is wait for them to give me my start date! I was hoping I'd hear before the weekend (my background check finished up on Thursday), but no such luck. Oh well. I think it's the Intern Coordinator who tells us our start date, not our actual departmental bosses. So, that means I probably have to wait for all of the other interns to clear their background checks, too, then we'll all get an email about our start date. It should be either June 1 or 7...so check back and I'll let you know as soon as I know!
If we start June 1, I'll probably leave Indianapolis around the 28th of May. I'm guessing my brother Jordan and I will drive straight through when we drive to Colorado Springs, but since neither of us have ever really road tripped that far west before, I want to make sure we have time. Plus, we have people to stay with in Colorado (Ruth and Steven! Can't wait to see you guys!), and I'm sure they'll be up to showing us around the city if we're there a few days early!
