Of school, songs and Intercamp | Sep 17th 2009

I feel like I have something I should be blogging about, but honestly, nothing comes to mind. Lately I’ve been busy with school, Intercamp and writing songs, so I guess I can talk about that.

School is schoolish. This term I am taking Reporting III, Radio Reporting, Political Reporting, Photojournalism and Legal Issues for Writers. Yippee. This looks to be a high stress year, but I think I can handle it. All the second year students are together; yay for camaraderie but boo for annoying people you have to see ALL THE TIME. Luckily there is only a few (for me) in our program.

Intercamp is putting out it’s second issue for the 09/10 year this week. Nothing too interesting happening there, except the SA VP Operations and Finance has stepped down. He’s the second in less than a year to do so. Hmmm.

As for the song writing, it’s going fairly well for me, the terrible songstress. I am thinking of doing a set at Steeps on 124th and Stony Plain Rd. for their open mic night. Or, you know, not subject people other than my friends to listen to me sing. I haven’t decided.

Also, a sidenote: holy global warming! It is currently 27 degrees out. Sure, we had a shitty summer weather-wise, but we’re basking in the sunshine now! Maybe this means winter will be a bit delayed :) One can only hope. It’s so nice to be able to wear shorts in the middle of September.
