Week 1, Spring Semester

Welcome back to lovely New Wilmington, PA as we enter the final semester here at Westminster College. And I mean final. This is it. Oy vae....

What I did in BC This Week: Well, I already had 2 radio shifts and a *yawn* morning show, I think everything there is going smoothly. The problem so far has been setting the news schedule, since I have such a tight afternoon schedule of classes. And here I thought this semester would be easy and maybe even *gasp* relaxing. HAHAHA....


My career goals: I'm not too sure which area of broadcasting I want to focus on as I apply for jobs. So that makes it hard to narrow down what I'm looking for. But I'm still in contact with Bowers and I'm trying to explore some other areas and find something that I'd like to at least start out doing. Who knew life would be this hard? LOL.

This Week in the 'biz: I know I mentioned this before, but this summer on UPN there will be a show during which T-boz and Chilli (formerly TLC) will be looking for that new "L" to replace Lisa Lopes, who died in an accident in 2002. I think that whatever the turn out of this hip-hop American Idol, so to speak, TLC will not have the same sound or anything as they used to. Also, they havent really been able to put any albums out in these past few years, so it may not be the TLC we remember. OF course, the article says there's no guarantee the winner will get to be a permanent member of TLC...it's just a ploy for attention and album sales. Oh, I mean the winner gets to record and to go on tour with TLC.

Growing Up (and getting older)

Well I thought it was cool for me to manage 2 1/2-hour road trips down to Pittsburgh alone, or 4-hour drives to Niagara Falls (Canadian Side)....But I just completed my first 8-hour trip, alone, and without getting lost. *Pats herself on the back*

Well, I drove down yesterday, found the hotel, and met up with Marshall Adams and his girlfriend, a Reporter for WBTV, for dinner. Then, exhausted, I slept, and was not ready to wake up this morning to come to the station. However, I did. And as usual, I got here waaaaay early because I planned extra time in case I got lost, and I didn't! Yay!

So far today I have :

- impressed Marshall with my WC skills, lol
-Helped produce the weekend edition of WBT's Charlotte's Morning News by tracking down and booking guests
-begun to learn the Newsroom 4.0 Computer System
-cut up CBS National Feeds
- written two wraps (and been told they were good!)
- seen a bit of the city!

Later Today I Will:
Sit in on Mike's newscasts
sit in on Don's talk show
get lost trying to find something to eat for dinner? i havent even passed any fast food places yet...how odd...

It's only 4:30 and its been a heckabusy day!

I'll keep you updated...

Oh yes, and as for the growing older...in 10 days I'll be 22! Yikes!
