The Spectrum

GRADUATION
Im going to miss all these people soooo much!
We had so much fun. Its sad that we weren’t able to stay in the dorms or else we would have been that much closer.
I had such a great time together meeting new people, working hard though the hot summer days. We have all shared [...]

Overall, I think this experience was a good one. It showed me what journalism is all about and whether this is something I really want to do. I learned that there is a lot more to journalism that I was unaware about. I enjoy the writing aspect, NOT the multimedia.
I am really going to miss [...]

I’m not sure what to say, other than that this was an AMAZING experience and i am so glad i was lucky enough to be part of it. I have learned so much about journalism in this 10-day span. I came in thinking “i KNOW how to write articles. I know how to take pictures, [...]

These are the differences I can see between the me who walked in here ten days ago and the me who sits here, blogging at the moment.

I weigh about five to ten pounds more that I did. Too many taco bars. Too many cookies. And that massive cupcake with strawberry icing from Crumbs probably didn’t [...]

So its officially done.  During the week I didn’t think i’d be saying this but I’ll miss  workshop.  It was difficult at times but I’m really glad I did it.  I learned a lot about journalism, reporting, and writing.  The trips to CNN and The New York Times were really cool and showed what its [...]

Well, goodbye UJW. You have surprised me and taught me a lot more than I thought I would learn. I really did enjoy the whole experience except I will never eat a taco again. I’ve had my fill of tacos these past ten days and I do not see myself eating one any time soon. [...]

And so I’m sitting at this screen for the last time, emailing myself some pictures and videos I don’t want to lose.  Renato’s calling our parents down from the 7th floor, but that was a mistake so they’re going to be sent back up.  I love miscommunication sometimes.
The truth is as much as I’m going [...]

Well today is our last day, =( . It felt like this day was never going to come. Ive had ups and downs  but if it wasnt for Professor Latty, Mandi, Professor Vivian and my UJW family, i dont think i wouldve accomplished anything. I will shrine this memory and never let it go.
I will [...]

As you can tell from everyone’s titles, today was the last full day of UJW. We went to the New York CNN studio and got to see the workplace and watch “American Morning” from behind the scenes. We even got to meet with, talk to, and take a picture with the anchors! CNN has always [...]

I woke up early to get to CNN on time. I got there at 7:30 but I’d rather that than missing it. The CNN building was really nice. This woman named Fran gave us a tour around the building and even the newsroom were just really cool. I’d feel honored every day to work there, providing [...]
