I went behind the mic today at a Jazz radio station where my professor works at. He’s a really chill dude. So chill that he holds some of our classes there. I mean, the guy’s big time with his voice. Insanely incredible. Plaques on the wall, running the radio station.. So much admiration and inspiration one can take from seeing and hearing that.
After reading my first ever revised copy, I felt pretty awesome. Made me contemplate on doing radio as a career. I mean, I always wanted to host something and interact with artists and celebrities. You know, be that socialite? But you know what boosted it up even more? My professor’s compliment. “You sounded like dynamite in the beginning. And everyone behind me [students from class] agrees. You were on fire! But as you went on, you sounded unsure of what you were reading… You probably just need to laugh it out.” It may not be much, but his reaction surprised me. I was nervous. Hands were sweaty and a bit shaky. But I was glad I went through the whole copy. Receiving that type of compliment is like, a Christmas present.
All you need is that energy and determination. I’m glad I have an education, very grateful. I’m determined to succeed and undergo all the stress and hardships..
One day, I’ll repay those who’ve supported me throughout. Especially my mom who deserves all the achievements I receive my whole life.
If failure proceeds at one point, then let it be. Because I know I’ll learn from it.
I think I’m rambling now.
The Journalism/Media professors I have this semester are just amazing. Purely a-ma-zing. I’ve got a Pulitzer Prize winner, an artist, an Associated Press veteran, pretty known newspaper writers, and an outstanding radio announcer/DJ. They’re all legends in my book.
Not to mention, using Twitter is an assignment, as well as Blogspot and Wordpress. Pretty cool!
And my Multimedia professor watched a part of the Most Popular Girls in School with a friend and I. He was highly amused at the stop-motion filming. LOL. I thought it was pretty funny considering his age and he didn’t hear the audio.
Well, I think that’s all I have to update you guys on.
.. I still love SNSD, by the way! I listed them as the celebrities I’d love to interview. Hopefully, I can get that chance in the future.
Godspeed.
