Week 10
Hello beauties. It has been far too long and I’ve missed this emotional outlet.
water, tea, water, tea...typ.
My life this week has been so chaotic that I’ve cried, laughed, eaten too much, and worked out really hard. I’ve had to jazz myself up on coffee all week. I rarely drink coffee, but when I do (it’s fair trade and organic and)it’s winter quarter; especially week 10/finals week.
Studying journalism gives me the opportunity to experience obscure people and places on campus. Case in point: today’s adventure to Scalia Lab, a meterology lab that’s tucked away on the stop floor the science building. A couple of weeks ago I visited the Islamic Center and sat like a fly on the wall to watch the men pray. I think these experiences make me a more rounded human being as well as one capable of engaging others in intelligent conversation.
A strange trend I’ve noticed in myself is the pre-interview funk. Before I went to the Islamic Center and Scalia Lab I wanted to do ANYTHING other than go meet those I was to interview. I feel comfort zone stretch and it’s hard! But the best interviews I do begin with my wanting to run in the opposite direction from the interviewee.
