Final Exam

I’m really proud of how this semester of News Media Practicum turned out. I’m getting more out of the class this time around. Last semester I had a medical withdrawal from FSC, which was necessary, but inconvenient. I am still catching up. At first I was frustrated about being behind, but ultimately, I realized that it doesn’t matter when I complete the course, as long as I keep putting forth 100 percent of my effort, because this is a class where you get what you put in. This has been such a great learning and growing process

GO MOCS! +4

Last night, a lot of practicum students needing hours (myself included) came out to watch both the men's and women's basketball teams dominate against Florida Tech. It was exciting. Justin had Dakota's camera, and we all took turns shooting. There were so many people, that no one really shot a long time except for TJ, but he's totally a perfectionist, so it's probably better that he did so much anyway.

My First Package +3

I've been working with Kristin on a package for Wellness TV. I'm really excited because I chose the topic myself- how giving back can help rid students of holiday blues, and any feelings of dissatisfaction associated with the holiday season.
This week we've been running around, squeezing in interviews whenever we could. On Tues, I got 3 interviews with my friends in Jenkins, but my audio didn't work, so I couldn't use them.
On Thursday, Kristin and I made up the interviews and got really cool Broll. So far, so good.
This morning, I got an early interview with the chaplain, and Monday morning, I have one with Student Life. I'm cutting it close to my deadline, but I think that if I edit everything else this weekend, then this package can be done before noon on Monday. I just have to stay focused.
