I got the last story published that I needed to pass my class! READ IT HERE
Of course, I'll still try to write stories for future issues of the paper, but this was a weight off my shoulders. This week's story has fallen through, so I'm so happy everything I do from now on is extra.
I don't feel as stressed and I have time to work on my many assignments, due in a few weeks. The stress will return when the due dates approach. Can't wait.
Speaking of which, do any homeless people just happen to be reading my blog.. on the internet.. for which they obviously have a computer?

Published Again!
CLICK THIS 'CAUSE I GOT MY STORY PUBLISHED!
That's right; I got my second story published online and in the newspaper. They even added a teaser for my story on the front page. Movin' up in the world.
The problem: the online editors said the picture was by me. IT WAS A COURTESY SHOT, GENIUSES.
I told my editors on Wednesday and they said they'd tell the online editors right away. They still haven't changed it and I don't think they ever will. Pretty sure it doesn't take days to fix a tiny mistake - especially one that could be considered plagiarism.
I definitely will not take the blame for this one.

So, my first story was published. Yes, my mom took five copies.
Surprisingly, media lawyers do want to talk. I was shocked too! When I let them know I didn't need to interview them anymore 'cause they got back to me too late, they let me add them to my list of contacts. I was surprised. Why do people hate lawyers?
Tomorrow, I get to interview members of the band Anvil. Whaaa? Crazy, I know. I never thought I'd be interviewing people who have actually made a name for themselves. People in the other beats are getting all of these boring people and I'm getting the stars. Awww yeeeaaahhh. A&E ftw.
Wonder who I'll get to interview next!
And no, this doesn't mean J-school's all sunshine and rainbows now. You don't know the half of it.
Don't I just look all professional now? Don't know if anyone outside of the Journalism program and my family read it, but a girl can pretend.
This past week, I interviewed Grammy-winner Maria Schneider. She was so nice and answered all of my questions. Really down to earth!
