Constant clicking of the keyboards, ringing of the telephones, and chattering of voices create a rather newsroom chaotic feel in the basement office of Raindance—despite the similar drone of the keystrokes, quite the opposition to the calm, relaxed atmosphere of the fourth floor, window-clad office of Raindance TV, my new home.

With sunshine shining through the windows of my office (only shared by one other intern!) at this very moment, the idea of working in an underground office seems rather dismal. However, the hustle and bustle commotion of Raindance emits a rather exciting, under pressure feeling that I thrive under. Both spaces, though quite different, provide for a unique, welcoming workplace.

Prior to starting as an intern at Raindance TV, my nerves took the best of me and my thoughts wondered to the worst possibilities—running frivolous errands, making countless copies, fetching coffee and lunch. Would I become Anne Hathaway in the Devil Wears Prada, working under the tyrant Meryl Streep? I hoped not, but I certainly feared it.

After my first day at the office, my worries subsided. Friendly, helpful boss, a sense of actually being needed rather than an inconvenience, and constantly learning new things—what more could I ask for? Being a new intern at Raindance TV makes me one lucky newbie. Not to mention, the no dress code. Anywhere I can wear jeans is alright by me.

In only a few weeks time at Raindance TV, I've gotten a feel for the company through daily interaction with employees and work on several projects. My first experience at an event, The Big Lunch Short Film Competition awards party, gave me a glimpse into both Raindance and Raindance TV. It seemed to me that the company motto should be work hard, play hard. As the awards concluded, the celebration continued at a nearby for a little after party celebration. I never would have anticipated my favorite night out in London thus far to be a work party!

I cannot wait to find out what the next three months have in store for me...
