Sophomore year
Sophomore year is here! Well, sophomore year has been here for about a month now, but I’ve just been really busy. I am very excited about all of my classes. It’s amazing what happens when I’m actually interested in what I am studying about. My classes are as follows: Sociology (General Sociology), Religious Studies (Intro to Judaism, Christianity, Islam), Political Science (Intro to Political Science), Journalism and Electronic Media (Intro to JEM), and Musicology (Jazz in American Culture).
This year is definitely different. This year, I know where to eat, where Walmart and the mall is, and what the building codes are.
Something very recent is a JEM 275 class assignment. The choices given were working at the school newspaper, TV station, radio station, journalism website, or writing a 10 page paper. Of course, I chose to work on the journalism website.
Yesterday I met with another Tennessee Journalist reporter from the Arts and Cultures section. Erica met me outside UT’s International House at 6:00 pm to cover a story about Greek week. Oh! I forgot to mention that I got a new and very cool camera so that I could be a photographer (though I’m not really good yet). We learned a lot had had tons of fun. Erica is so sweet and a great writer!
Last night I stayed up until 1:30 am to edit photos, captions, write a summary and to put some finishing touches on the article. I learned that it’s something I really enjoy if I stay up that late. After setting the article to “Ready for Editing,” Erica sent our editor an email telling him that it was ready. This morning when I woke up the article was on the front page of the Arts and Cultures section. Just a few hours later our article moved to the homepage of TNJN!
That’s all for now. I have to go study for two tests tomorrow.
Glory to One- alayna grace
