Sports Internship

I began my internship with the Sports Department. Mr. Dalton Myers is my supervisor and is an avid Argentina football fan. He made it very clear that when my team, USA, loses that I will become an Argentina fan. So he thinks. He and I have a lot in common in regards to sports and athletics. He also runs on the grass track at night after work. He, and other co-worker, Rasheed, took me to the Pepsi Jamaica plant today. (This is right beside where Red Stripe is made- but no free samples- boo.) We went to the plant to negotiate sponsorships for the UWI athletics. It was quite a conversation and gave me some insight into how university athletics get money for certain things- new facilities, equipment, etc. In the afternoon I began working with some students workers on creating a new and improved website for the UWI Sports department. They are in need of an enticing and creative site. I hope to be of some help. I enjoyed working with students again. I didn't realize I was missing my students, so it was good to work with them today. They have invited me for a "lyme" next week. I am looking forward to spending some time with those around my age. I also signed up for a 5k on July 4th. It begins at 6 am!

Following work I went to the grass track to jog off the day and sure enough Mr. Usain Bolt himself was there. I wasn't sure I would know him when I saw him face to face but after studying my notebook, I knew it was him. LOL. He was truly as fast as lightening. I couldn't really believe it. The fastest man in the world and I'm trotting around the track. It was a great moment!
