Elections and NY
I worked tuesday night because of elections. It was hectic but fun. I just love the buzz of breaking news. The only problem is that i came home at around midnight. That leaves a little margin of time to catch up on school work before i crash. Oh dear.
If you haven't been living in a hole, you already know who our new president is. I'm elated. Because he is the first black president, i hope they amped up security measures. I foresee a case of stranger danger and can only hope that it doesn't end fatally.
I'm officially going to NY. I got the call this morning while i was watching What Not To Wear on TLC. I initially wanted to get into a morning news show, like the Today show. My second choice was going to be a fashion magazine so i can dabble with fashion journalism. The rep called me and questioned me about my choices because it confused him. Apparently, my cover letter exemplified nightly news, but my area of interest was morning news/fashion. I should have realized that there was something incongruent about my train of thought. He was able to convince me into an interview with NBC Nightly News because it's "substantial" news. If i want to "learn," nightly news is the way to go. The only problem is that i've been doing nightly news and as much as i love it, it's only secondary to the fluff crap i like. Isn't that sad? I like cultural journalism, but i also like writing about stuff that i care about. I guess i can caategorize that into international news. That being said, i'm not a big fan of local news. I've had enough of bus accidents and murders.
To pacify my thoughts, i'm also interviewing with some magazine. I'm not big on the magazine idea because i DO love news. The more i work at KXAN, the more i'm persuaded that i love it. Now i have to question, is it genuine or is it only a temporary reality? I don't know. Blah. I just want the opportunity to contrast mornign and nightly news. That's all i'm asking. I can pass on the magazine. I just want to feel happy and confident about where i'm working since i'll be there 40 hours a week.
LS and a friendly penguin are visiting this weekend! I'm so happy. I miss LS so so so much. I also miss my family, of course. The whole missing thing is probably attributed to the fact that i'm stressed, hungry, tired, and helpless (at editing). Yay for sisterly fun! I'm so excited.
What i've been working on:
SING! - Homecoming's battle of the organizations
MINI DOCUMENTARY - Ableism
TAPE RESUME - 2 more packages to go
Yah, no more lists...i start hyperventilating when i see all the crap i need to do.
