In a nutshell.....
-September is almost done and I feel burnt out and exhausted but in a good way!
-Reporting more than Christiane Amanpour/Katie Couric combined.
-Done some major stories for the news (mohawk) such as an expose on abandoned psychiatric out patient centre in an inner city ghetto that was burnt down more than 2 years ago and is now being used as a crack house which is obviously causing major problems in the community. Felicia got her Michael Moore on and had interview with the local politician in charge of the building and for the first time he addressed the issue for the public, I went where no reporter has gone before! Hollllerrr! Haha
Doing mad stories including producing,writing and doing camera work for a piece on the World Cup Skateboarding Open. Today my news team used our media pass hook-ups to the fullest by reporting live on top of a half pipe during a Team Canada VS World Skate Team while interviewing Olympic Gold medalist and all round killer guy, Shaun White.
I have major back pains from running around the town with camera equipment, most of the time in heels but fuck I love this.
I have over a dozen television news stories due in a week, two exams and my fashion column for the school paper all going on. I cant complain, I am doing what I have wanted to do since I was a wee-one. On that note, I have little to no life and when I am not in the newsroom, editing or trying to get my reporter hustle on I am anchoring for our News program that starts this week. I am entertainment anchor which is no surprise since I that’s the only thing my prof’s think I can do well and fashion but this year is about more than that. Fashion Week is coming up and I have no idea how I am going to balance everything but I know I will find a way.
I had my first front page non-fashion story published and oh yeah on Monday I am hopefully going to interview KRS-1 aka the artists behind THE BRIDGE IS OVER aka BDP was the first form of hip hop I fell in love with when I was probably 6 years old.
This summer I did nothing but drink/smoke/party/sleep/tan my ass off but now its serious stuff. There is no point to this entry other than to remind myself that I am staying on top of my game since I fell off a little while ago. Best is yet to come, god I love school…how sad.
