6/7/15- Sunday, the first day of the journalism camp, was fun. The opening day was especially energetic and awesome because they let us wander around the campus until like 8:45pm. After we wandered around the campus, we came back with our mentors and we ate some pasta for dinner and it was really good. Then after we ate, we all went to sleep. I got to meet Zayro that night and later talked to him the next day.
6/8/15 –On Monday morning, we all walked over to the Marshall building where we had to meet every morning. That morning, we got a presenter named Susan Swanberg and a great welcome from Nancy Sharkey. Susan Swanberg talked to us about media law that day and it lasted for about 2-3 hours. We got done at around 11am. After we all got our stories written down that day and then get done describing and talking about our stories, we all went out and got ourselves busy with finding sources for our stories. We had to be back by 1 or 2 in the afternoon because we had another presenter named Dan Buckley. He talked to us about editing photos and how to take good and clear photos . After that, we had to take an environmental photo for our badges for the journalism camp. Later on, we had to edit in front of Dan Buckley.
6/9/15- On Tuesday morning, I slept in till like 8:15 am. My advisors where looking for me that morning and they tried calling me but I just didn’t answer the phone when it kept ringing. I didn’t want to answer the phone because I thought it would have been my mom calling because she calls in the morning sometimes and I thought it was still early because I usually wake up early. But that day, I didn’t and so I got out of bed and got dressed and went over to the Marshall building about when the presentation started with our new presenter which we have every morning and her name is Anna Augustowska and she taught Multimedia to us and different techniques about Multimedia like not doing the things that your not supposed to be doing and the good things that your supposed be doing multimedia and there was another presenter after that one and he taught us about taking photography of animals and all different techniques like when the animals on the floor kneel down and be carefully still and don’t be shaky and take the picture and how to use iMovie to put those videos in the iMovie app on the mac computer.
