I know I'm a little late...
This past week was good. I picked up the paper that I'm published in, wrote a little story (which my mentor said was good), and on my weekend took pictures of people at the mall that looked good. The first guy I photographed was named Menard, and I gave me his address so I could send him a copy of the newspaper he'll be in. Hopefully he'll be in one of the first ones. Well now, I haven't even said anything about the column. It's Atlanta Street style, and we (Jill, the other mentor and I) basically take pictures of people who we think look good and ask them a few questions. All the people have to do is sign the release and I'm on my way. Most people, I've found, don't want to be photographed. Oh well. And those people are the best looking ones.
I really love my job. I hope to write bigger stories soon. But anything is fine really. I just love journalism. It's amazing how efficient people are. They know how to do their job well and they get it done. I respect that. There's a deadline every week and they always make it.
My body does not get up at 6:30 every day. It sucks and I'm not a fan of it. However, I still get up and do my make up and my hair, eat, and brush my teeth. Plus I havent missed any connections yet and I'm never late for work. That's pretty good. It's because I'm taking care of myself outside of work. I eat, I shower, and I take my vitamins. Although, I can never get to sleep before 12:30. It's like during the day my body just gets over this hump and then I'm awake until between 12:30 and 2:00. Lame. I need something to help me sleep. Benadryl does absolutely nothing to me except give me bad dreams. Any ideas? There is a yoga place near my house...
See y'all...micha

Micha,
ReplyDeleteGood for you for getting to work on time and managing all of the transfers, etc. Way cool! I agree that getting up at 6:30 is awful and I secretly think that morning people are just a different species...putting up with the icky parts for the goal of getting to do what you love is awesome. It sounds like a great learning experience and a cool column that you get to work on as well.
I'm so excited that you're first big journalism excursion is going so well! Remember me when you're famous...
ReplyDeleteYou will adjust (probably) to the early hour and may start enjoying aspects of being up at that hour, seeing things others sleep through.
Keep up the great blogging--I'm so proud of you for all of this!
