Most exciting moment of today: interviewing people for my journalism class! We got to class today and actually had to go out and TALK to REAL people, and take notes on what they said. I decided to do something about cellphones because of a recent train wreck in California that happened because the engineer was texting while driving the train. I chose that because I reeeeally didn't know enough about politics to do either the bailout or the VP debate. So. I went and talked to people. Definitely a big adrenaline rush!! "Excuse me, do you have a second to answer a few questions about cellphone usage in today's society?" Dad, I definitely saw you in a couple of the men I tried to talk to.. :) :) :) But I ended up getting a variety of sources and then writing an article on deadline. I felt like a real reporter, it was SO fun. I love Medill.
Most controversial moment of today: watching the Vice President debate. I actually don't really like Sarah Palin.. like, at all. McCain did a much better job, but.. man. She seems like a really nice person, but possibly not the most coherent Vice President. Anyway. Interesting moment of the debate- neither candidate said that they support redefining marriage as being equally either heterosexual or same-sex. Which I thought was cool. But some of the listeners in our media lounge did not.

Were those men you talked to still using Windows 95 and a daytimer calendar with a real ink pen? I'm glad to know there are still some real men left in the world.
Glad you enjoyed your first assignment and got it in on deadline! Congratulations. Sorry, I really do like Sarah Palin.
