Still studying...

...but not for class.
Hi everybody. Hope your summer is off to a great start. Last week was my first full week that was class-free and it was great. However, I still have to do some studying; only it isn't for a class. In high school I was big into theater. I was involved in many school and community theater productions. However once I started college I kind of let it go by the wayside. However, a friend of mine is directing the upcoming community theater production of "The Wizard of Oz" and wanted me to be in it. I thought it would be fun to get back into it so I agreed to take it on. I've been busy studying the lines of the cowardly lion. Memorizing lines sure is easier than memorizing communication theories or philosophy arguments!

Keeping in touch half a world away
I don't think I ever mentioned this in any of my previous blogs, but two of my good friends from St. Thomas spent the spring semester studying at St. Thomas' Bernardi Campus in Rome, Italy. They are both broadcast journalism majors but are Catholic Studies minors and decided to spend the semester working on that...plus they got to live in Italy for a whole semester! I have been keeping in touch with them with email and Facebook. They are set to come home in ten days. Hopefully they will have a safe journey. It will be fun to have them back on campus in the fall.

The week ahead
This week is my last week working as a producer at my internship with KELO-TV. Next week I will start reporting on the air. I am really excited for that to start! One of the other interns is currently on the reporting part of the internship and it has been hard to watch her go out and get stories while I stay in the newsroom and write. I'll put some of my stuff on my blog for you to watch once I start.

Well not much else to talk about I guess. Better get back to memorizing those lines. Have a good week!
