MID-WAY... almost

This week.
Late breaking last week.
I got to go to T.S Arlene. I was in Pensacola beach. What a trip. I was out in the storm. The sand was scraping across my feet, and the wind blew me over, it was great. Something I will never forget. Up early for the morning show, national correspondents, and plenty of water. The day after the storm was awesome… it’s a little erie.
It was a 7-8 hour drive there.. Really glad I had my itrip/ipod.
Came home late Sunday… good trip overall.

Jun 11-17
Monday: late start after tropical storm Arlene. I had a great time there. Wind, sand, fun.
I learned a ton. I got to shoot and sat truck time.

Tuesday: not much, worked on archive stuff, and played with some camera stuff. Took ND car to the shop… the prius is a cool car.

Wednesday: the hunt started. I lost the ND tape… the one with the wedding I edited. I KNOW I put it in my desk. Now its gone. SO next weekend I have to re edit the entire thing unless it turns up. Went to dinner with the ND and DS. It was great. It was at this great Italian place, Anthony’s. WOW great food. I had chix marsalla. The people here are fantastic. I am really enjoying myself. I am so spoiled though. I really am humbled for the amount of responsibility/perks I get here.

Thursday: I was on stakeout most of the time. I was to watch for a guy to come out of court and then follow him home for a story… that’s all I can say…. It’s a sweeps piece. Will tell later. In the afternoon I got to shoot again. I chased down some car ax. A flipped SUV and some lady resisting arrest. It was good to get out and shoot. I also got to edit my first end to end for the newscast. I got called back, so I didn’t get to see if it made air.

Friday: Started over on my archive…. It got deleted. DVD’s 1-16 all gone. Yesterday wasn’t the best… in the aspect. Still can’t find the tape. NEED IT!!!! Went to lunch with ND, EP, and DS. The bosses… we had a great lunch at a nice little Italian place. The afternoon was spent updating and recreating my archive, and driving around for the newsroom. Getting live trucks.

Saturday is the big switch, so I will be here late… I don’t mind because its cool to see the switch over, and get some gear time. It has rained everyday this week… I have never seen the amount of rain. It’s like a shower outside. That’s about it for the week.

Outside of FTV, hung out with BL, ASH, and JUL. They are a lot of fun. Talked to megs about the next year, and if I take the job offer here after I graduate. I want too, but there are so much to think about (NOT REALLY in function)…. I couldn’t find a better station, better people, better pay, better role models… so not in job opportunities to think about… some personal issues to think about. Meghan and I’s future is big. But that’s something I have to discuss with Megs before anything gets on the net…. Sorry. Also do I want to live here? The weather is icky, but I think I could get used to it. I enjoy the rain. Everything is AC, so outside isn’t that bad during the day… if you are inside. The nights are great. PLUS its shorts all the time… I mean ALL the time. BUT FIRST I HAVE TO GRADUATE. We will pass that hurdle when we get there. That would be funny, I could not graduate…. School… ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ok that’s an update on operation Mickey Ears.
