Back Again For the Last Time!

It's been almost a month since we started classes, and my how the time flys! I spent the whole summer in New York City's Upper East Side, doing an internship at Fox News. I won't bore you (or entertain?) you with all the details, but it was nothing short of rewarding and wonderful! I met so many people who I can now keep in touch with, networked with big wigs, and I was urged by the executive producer of the morning show Fox & Friends (the show I worked on) to send my resume upon graduation. How exciting! By the middle of the summer, I was producing my own segments from start to finish and meeting people I have only seen on television. I even had the chance to do the weather live on the show my last day there. It went pretty well! I had never done weather before, so it was a little.... funny, shall we say? My parents and older sister got to see the whole thing from right behind the camera, too! So after my last day, my family and I saw a bunch of sights that New York City has to offer and we picked up and drove the more than 6 hours back to New Wilmington and the amish. I was home for not even two weeks before packing up again, clean laundry and all, and moving back into my apartment in Clarion. It's weird how fast time goes.
School has been going well so far. Getting into the groove of classes, and everything else I'm doing this semester. Anchor tryouts for WCUB-TV, Clarion University's very own station, were 3 weeks ago, and I made it for the sixth straight semester. I've been doing this since my Freshman year, and it's all thanks to my Dad for urging me to get involved. I love every minute of it and I get to anchor on Friday nights at 7 with my co-anchor, Caitlin Zarecky. Last night we did really well, if I may say so myself! Be sure to check it out some time!
I also help out with remote productions for the tv station. That means we cover football games right now, and then we'll get into basketball and other sports. Today is Family Day and I can't help with the game this weekend. I have 4 tests next week, and a lot of other homework to do for the coming week, as well. So I'm staying in and getting that done, deciding how to go about organizing myself to study for 4 tests!! Yikes! Speaking of tests, and homework, I must be going to continue studying and all that good stuff! Don't worry, there'll be more coming soon! But for now, I am so excited to have this opportunity to blog about my life! And I lead a pretty exciting one, so be sure to come back often and see what I'm up to! Oh and let's hope the Golden Eagles can pull out a win at Memorial Stadium today!!
