Today, I spoke in front of the Broadcast Journalism class. It was completely surreal to be past the point of Broadcast Journalism. Now a proud part of the coveted "A-Team," I explained to the students that they should NOT procrastinate with their stories. Today was more of a hint of what the semester will be like, as I, with the help of other Advanced Broadcast students, outlined each assignment the new students will have to complete this semester.
I also updated the South Florida Journal Facebook page while the students took a lesson from South Florida Journal's creator, Dr. Petrich, on Adobe Audition. This class was a nice little refresher for me too, being that it's been a semester since I've touched the software and the studio software too.
I can already see how this semester might turn out. I can see right from today that the girl in the picture actually below (I believe it's Germaine) will be a front-runner in class. She is not afraid to ask questions and that's something a true journalist should not be afraid of. I sat in the back of the class with Markella and she even agreed with me too.
Previous to this first class meeting, I updated the South Florida Journal Facebook page over Winter Break. I was so excited to start this new task of being a Social Media Coordinator, that I wanted to make sure the Facebook page stayed current.
I was thrilled to have a picture of the whole class together. I am so happy we are all moving on together and get to continue to be this "family" Dr. Petrich talks about!
I definitely wanted to thank our teachers, and wish them good luck in their future endeavors. I am very thankful for their help last semester. Especially Estelle's. She helped me each time I had a spot story and looked over my work.
I couldn't believe the time was finally here. A new semester, and my final semester at FAU.

WORKSHOP
Today was more of a course orientation, and introduction. We discussed our thoughts about mentoring on Tuesday, and those who mentored on Wednesday. Some of us saw the next A-Team that would be filling our shoes next semester just from one class meeting; while others saw ones who might need some extra help this semester. Today was really about reflecting on the fact that we're starting our final semester, and that it will be a lot of work to mentor and keep up with show production.
I'm so excited to be updating the Facebook page and be an Assignment Editor, that I can't wait for my first time submitting stories to Sharlene for review. I can hardly wait for the show to begin this semester. Is there a fast-forward button?
