The Theme Of The Day Is Perseverance...
I got up and started my day right with yoga and had a good breakfast at the hotel. Later that day Mercury struck when a guest speaker that was the subject of a journalism contest at the Journalism Association of Community Colleges (JACC) was over two hours late and the conference had to push the contest deadline back by two hours. On the upside they gave us more time to write our feature stories on the downside, we had to write straight through an awards ceremony and the student mixer and I didn't turn in my final draft of the story until 10:45 pm. Overall though, the day went well. I bonded with two students from Foothill college, and got closer to my fellow journalist at the paper as well. I attended a very informative story creation workshop in the afternoon, which I learned a great deal about perfecting my craft from. Even though I could feel the lag of Mercury Retrograde slowing things down, the day felt singularly productive. And the speed bumps that I hit only only served as reminders that we might want to go over things with a fine tooth comb in our writing process.
