On the other hand, I CAN talk about the amazing internship I just had! I got to venture down to Burbank, California to be an animation intern on the NBC show "Community". They made a stop-motion Christmas episode that airs TONIGHT AT 8 PM!!! It was loads of fun working on this project. I got to meet and work with a lot of cool and talented people, including Teresa Drilling. She has been my stop-motion instructor for the past year and a half. Teresa offered the internship to myself and four other classmates. We all also worked on the short together that we are making at the Art Institute of Portland.
Anyways, here is a short article that was written about the Portland animators that worked on the "Community" Christmas special in The Oregonian:

My name is in there! AWESOME! I got to help organize the puppet hospital, make props, and even help an animator or two with some of their shots. I'll even get an IMDB page out of this. Haha. It was a great experience that I will never forget! Being a stop-motion animator is one of the coolest and most challenging jobs there is. That's why I love it!
Here is the crew credits list too:
