I still cannot believe there is only one more week left in the semester. It is too surreal! I feel like I have learned so much in the last couple month but I also feel like I have much more to learn. I think that is one thing about journalism though, there is always something to learn.

I ran into this quote awhile ago. For some reason I found it very meaningful

" In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs for ever and ever."- Oscar Wilde

Previous to taking this class, I had a great respect for journalism. Now, the respect I had has doubled if not tripled! Journalism is hard work! There was countless times where I thought that my brain was going to explode and nights without sleeping. I think that is what sets journalists apart from other people. They are determined to get the story out no matter what. Even if it means staying up all hours of the night or ripping out their hair. Anything to ensure written justice.

I have had fun this semester getting to know and read all of your pieces! I wish the best for all of you and have a wonderful holiday!!

Enterprise rough draft..

Well, due to a few minor set backs I do not have a rough draft.. It is more like rough paragraphs that are scattered between side notes until a few more sources get back to me. It is a little nerve wracking but I should have been more aggressive when dealing with sources. I think being too lenient is my biggest downfall when it comes to writting stories. In the future I will be more stressful with deadlines and leave courtesy at the door.
Within the next few days I will have a complete copy of my rough draft and will post it. Sorry again!
