We're done with our project on the National High School Journalism Competition! I am very excited to be done because I feel like I have accomplished a lot during this project and have helped RJI immensely when they plan the actual competition this summer. I am very proud of all of my research and leadership skills this past semester. I am proud of how I handled them and how the successful the final product ultimately was.
We had our final presentation today and I think it went really well and the professors were really impressed with all of our research. They were especially excited with the trial run, which really was my thing throughout the semester that I really took ownership of. I am so proud of the whole project and am glad it came to a close so successfully.
I cannot believe that it was just two years ago that I took my first convergence fundamentals class. I am now leaving the journalism school to pursue a reporting career in New York City. I am so excited! It's been a great couple of years and I am excited to start my career.

Finishing Up
This past week I started working on the final paper/presentation and I still haven't gotten the final products from Medina's class yet, but I expect to get them sometime today. Hopefully.
I wrote the final survey, which Medina's class took because as I understand it they have finished this project. Medina had what we thought was a genius idea to have each group create a Google website to post their stories on. That part of the project, which was not our idea at all, seems to have backfired because it was very challenging for the students to do and caused a lot of problems. So, Medina called me on Tuesday and asked if he could get me the projects by Wednesday, which I said was okay. However, I still haven't received the final projects, but hopefully I'll get them by this afternoon. I'm not too worried about it.
I've written most of my section of the project, which is the trial run, since that has been what I have contributed my heart and soul to during this competition. I have worked very hard this whole semester on all the components on this project, but the trial run was definitely the part of the semester I am most proud of. It was my idea and I put it all together.
I'm looking forward to presenting our research to the faculty next week and seeing what they think of our findings. I can't believe that I'm graduating in a week's time and that my student career is over. At least for now. I am off to bigger and better things, I suppose.
