more power to women!

The interview with the wrestler turned out to be pretty good. We were lucky though, because their manager had to run some errands and left the girls at our complete disposal. We began asking simple questions like 'What made you start in this business?', 'How do you see women being treated in it?' and the like. All of them were pretty cool about it, and no one blinked twice at the presence of a camera in the room. I was really impressed with the answers they gave us. There was actually one of them who had to divorce her husband because he didn't like that she was getting more attention as a wrestler than he was, when they began training together. Why is it that men can't take it when their women are strong? What's so bad about it? And what about all the facts that, not only have shown we have the same capacities, but sometimes put us above average men too. I won't even go there.

This week has been one of the most difficult weeks of my college life. There was too much pressure to finish so many projects that I'm amazed I have enough energy to be writing this right now.
On Monday we went to film the girls at the gym in the morning, later we had classes and then a meeting at night to finish a team project on publications.
Tuesday we had two exams in the morning, then stayed to practice the exam on TV production for Thursday. At night I had to stay and edit some footage to go with said exam.
Wednesday was a good day. I studied for my exam on PR and was actually pretty good in it. At night we stayed to practice one more time for TV.
And on came Thursday, with a presentation where we had to take a guest to show how to work on a publishing organization. Then I had exam on persuasive campaigns, and finally that morning, we took our practical test on TV production (which sucked, because the camera director is such a stupid prat who brags about knowledge he doesn't even have! But I won't go too much into it, because I don't want to relive the worst part of the day) Later I finished editing my piece on Salsa classes at our school, and it's supposed to air on Saturday after next.
And even though I'm knackered, I feel great about everything I've been doing. This kind of pressure I can take because I like my career and I honestly don't see myself working in any other area.
