oh boy oh boy

Hi everybody! My name's Chris Murphy, and I'm the newest intern at the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, New York. I've spent three long years at the Niskayuna High School (is the name Niskayuna too hard to remember? Just think, "Frisky Tuna"), but in order to finish my fourth year with flying colors I need to finish an internship somewhere.  When I heard that, my mind jumped to the Sanctuary immediately, and by immediately I mean once my video teacher suggested it.  Since Troy is a mere two bus rides (totaling about an hour's worth of sitting) away from Niskayuna (I care because I don't have my driver's license), and the Sanctuary people are cool enough not to care what time I show up at, I took the internship!

So here's what I made on my first day: A video tour/diary of my first day! For anybody who's been reading this blog for a while, you'll be pleased to see the long-time Sanctuary blogger Emily make an appearance. (You'll also notice I wore a work shirt that day. It was uncomfortable, so today I wore a much simpler shirt with a collar. Next time I'll probably wear a T-shirt. I'm gradually going to wear more and more comfortable clothing until eventually I'll be showing up naked.) (And don't forget to click "Read more" after you're done with the video!)
