Today was a pretty good day. I know I’ve said that at least once before, but I’m feeling more acclimated to the heat – walked about two blocks in the 3 pm direct sun and it didn’t even bother me. I am also getting used to the 12 hour days. They do work us hard. We are earning our three graduate credits. But we are also learning a lot. We actually had a great session about grammar – yes grammar. A copy editor from the Arizona Republic gave us a lot of good tips on how to teach it and the AP Style Guide without going crazy.
I am also going to miss my fellow advisors. We have only been a group for three and 1/2 days, but I feel a close bond to many of my fellow advisors already. I will miss not seeing them every day. I has been so great to have an entire “faculty” of journalism teachers. I have worked really hard to sit with different people every day. I am going to try very hard to do this when I go back to school, both with my fellow faculty members and when I am with my students in groups. It has been a great way to make sure I get to know everyone here.
I got four more interviews for my story today, so I feel really good about it. I think that I have more than enough material to write a story. I also got my first story back and was in the good, but you missed great group. I burried my lead. Ouch! I know better. But I got a lot of congratulations on my speech story photo. So I feel pretty good.
Lots of homework to do tonight.
