Days seem sooooo long here!
After what felt like three hours of sleep, my alarm clock on my phone went off and it was time to get up. I was so tired I was even considering skipping breakfast, but my roommates were able to pick me up a little bit, and we all headed down to eat.
So the long awaited awards ceremony was this afternoon, and me and my fellow classmates were just tired out of our minds. So, it was pretty funny that during the ceremony when we went to the hotel to relax because we were just so tired.
The day went on and we slept for about an hour and 10 minutes. We missed the ceremony completely.
Before you read, let me warn you – it’s 12:15 a.m. right now, and I am unbelievable tired. Nearly four straight days of fun in this city has really taken its tole on me, so if this shows threw my righting, I apologize.
Just kidding! But seriously, I am ridiculously tired and feel like I could fall asleep within the next 30 seconds. But I’ll press on!
After all the seminars I’ve gone to, I realize just exactly the complexity and dimensions of journalism. There are so many ways to appeal to the public in order to address news.
I am gonna major in journalism someday, so it was interesting to think how wonderful it is to be in the field of journalism. Just seeing every one walk around with either a notebook or camera in hand, it’s interesting to think that just maybe this is a bigger art than it gets credit for.
Yesterday’s adventures consisted of the Harry Potter-version of a bookstore, Powell’s Books, a trip to Voo Doo Doughnuts where they also sell underwear…, and public transportation.
My experiences on this trip have been a culture shock, a different world from the upper class community I live. I saw a homeless man eating pizza out of a trash can, a man skateboarding while dragging his suitcase and a man in a suit riding a bike. MTV’s “the Real World” is officially mediocre.
When the yearbook staff at Highland High School in Anderson, Ind., started on their 2010 yearbook back in the fall, they settled on the theme “Faces of Highland.”
That plan changed, and the staff’s job became a bit more daunting, when their local School Board voted in December to turn their school in to a junior high beginning with the 2010-11 school year. Highland High School would be no more, and the 2010 yearbook became the “Final Edition.”
Anniversary yearbooks can be a fun, yet challenging, task for a yearbook staff. What about a school celebrating its 100th anniversary?
As this article from the Durango Herald shows, the Toltec staff from Durango High School in Durango, Colo., has really gotten into the spirit of celebrating their school’s 100-year history.
It’s Sunshine Week, and journalists, media groups and citizens are working to highlight the public records laws meant to protect the people’s right to know what their government is doing.
Sunshine Week’s history can be traced to an effort in 2002 by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors to stop the Florida legislature from creating a [...]
More than 2,000 administrators arrived in Phoenix to attend the National Association of Secondary School Principals Annual (NASSP) Convention, “Unleash the Extraordinary,” planned this year to focus on the importance of skilled leadership.
The challenge facing principals today, according to Steven Pophkal, NASSP president, require school leaders to “see each boy and girl as a unique individual, develop their respective strengths and to unleash the extraordinary in each child.”
The significant role that yearbooks play in recording a school’s history is certainly a point of view that we love to emphasize here at the Yearbooks Blog.
Here is an article from writer Elizabeth Pinkerton of the Elk Grove Citizen in Elk Grove, Calif., which discusses the same ideas.
