Today was a long day.
I was awake again at 4:00 am, but I did not go to the fitness center. In the typical fashion, I made my way to the closet CVS (Kara would be proud) in order to purchase some water and yogurt. I was surprised that the CVS here also sells beer and wine. Definitely not in PA anymore.
We had to cover an hour speech today, and then we had 2 hours to write an article about it. This reminded me why I am not a reporter and journalist. It was so STRESSFUL! I was thrilled that I used my Flip video to tape the entire Q&A session, so I was able to go back and review it for full quotes (I had to use 4-5 quotes in my article).
Tomorrow Steve will provide edit and feedback. Not looking forward to that. I'm sure my article needs much rewriting.
On a good note, I'm learning so many new things. I have so many great ideas for lesson plans. I am thoroughly excited to develop more cohesive lessons and ideas for not only my journalism students, but also my newspaper staff. We thought our newspaper was good this year; wait until next year!
It's late, I'm tired, and the morning will come quickly.
Note: Got to the pool this evening. It is really nice. It was still pretty hot outside, but the water was very cool. It was nice. I plan to go during the day (or morning) and take some pictures to post. Check back to see them.
