I am not going to lie and say that doing the teleprompter is all that challenging. But I get to do extra stuff too, which usually involves me following people and learning how to do things, or the other freshman and I stand there in awe and random things we have never heard of happen. Which is why I'm there.
It's nice not to be the dumbest one of the group, and luckily most of the freshman have no idea (like me) what they're supposed to be doing. One guy, a Strategic communications major (?) is there because he likes baseball or whatever. Umm....
We also ate the greasiest pizza ever, and you could pick out the New Yorkers by whether they tried to find like the 9 paper towels it required to soak up the grease. I felt a bit nauseous after one piece. Maybe I will pass on having heart attack-inducing food next time.
I didn't get to watch football yesterday, because I am pretty sure the world wants to fill up all my time. I did receive Pats updates, and was very happy with the Redskins result. So far I have resisted all the attempts made to stop me from liking the Patriots.
In Professor Farrell's management lecture today:
"See, you can't always trust your leaders, your CEOs. Look at ENRON! Belichick! ENRON!"
Bills fan.
Today I slaved away in the Ithacan office with my editor Cory, tidying up my profile. Luckily, he really liked it and the changes were minor. Also, the cross country writer only had one source in his. So basically, by comparison, I was practically David Halberstam.
I have a paper due tomorrow for political communication. Party! Oh and I also had my first quiz in journalism, and I believe I did fine. I got a little extra credit, because I knew that Lehman Brothers had filed for bankruptcy.
Go me!
***Edit: Earlier in this post I used the wrong "to" and published it. Seeing as that is one of my pet peeves, I'm very embarrassed. It is now fixed.
***There are tons of grammatical errors in this. Please forgive me. I fixed a few more, but woah.
