Today was a sad day for nerds like me.  It was my last day of Ethics and Law.  Everything we do in that class interests me.  I think most of my classmates agree. Craig LaMay, our professor, is a fantastic professor.  He’s a guy who knows his shit.  I was very surprised that he doesn’t [...]

So, yes, I have been slacking in the realm of updates.  Mostly it’s because I spent the last week in what is known as “beast mode.” Basically, I got shit done.  As previously outlined, I have to turn in 8 stories in 4 weeks.  As of the end of week two, I’d only turned in [...]

Mind you, it was about 60 degrees out today. I was laughing to myself about where that [...]

Yesterday was the first day of beat reporting.  Each class essentially functions as a newsroom.  To that end, each class has two “slot editors” for the day.  I got to be the guinea pig along with one of my classmates.  First day jitters were certainly on everyone’s mind.  Luckily, she had worked with a similar [...]

On Friday, I weathered the elements (namely sideways rain, a Chicago staple) and went to my midterm review for my methods class. When I showed up, my professor was running half an hour behind.  The guy scheduled for 4 p.m. was still waiting at 4:30.  I walked to Chipotle and wolfed down a burrito in [...]
