Looking Up...

I attended the Hyphen meeting last night, and I felt I contributed, considering it was only my first meeting. I now have an assignment which I'm really excited about. I'm raring to go. I can offer something to Hyphen, I'm not really sure what that something is yet, but I'm going to be ready, whatever tasks lie ahead.

I just submitted some picks for the Guardian, so I'll be sure to post the links on here when they're out next week. How ironic that I originially interned for the SFBG as a news intern...and now I'm writing music and writing picks! The format challenges me, because I have to input as much information as possible into maybe 100 words. But picks provide great writing practice, force me to keep my ear to the ground, and help me give props and publicity to musicians, performers, and lecturers.

I need to get a calendar...a journalism teacher, John Marvel, once told his class that he keeps a whiteboard (bulletin board?) of all of his assignments, with all of the due dates, so he could keep his deadlines straight. I don't have that many obligations, but I have just enough to keep me slightly frazzled, so I may have to take that advice to heart.

I turned in six or seven applications last night, so apparently I can still produce some resumes, even with all of this freelancing chaos going on.
Unitl next time...
