Wow! Is it really the end of First Quarter? Already?! I feel like I just started school! I'll tell you, time goes by really fast in Media, with all the deadlines and everything, so that's probably why. Anyways, when I look back at all the things I've worked on in First Quarter, I am just amazed! We did so much, and I actually did learn a BIG lesson that I'm going to share with you in the next few paragraphs.
The biggest thing we worked on all quarter was, of course, our News Story. It was very fun and challenging to do this. I have to admit, I do have some regrets about the first quarter project, and I also have to admit that I think we could have done a better job. The problem was, we ran out of time! We didn't really pay attention to how many more classes we had left until the project was do, and then at the last minute we had to work really hard and fast, and couldn't put in as much effort because of the time crunch! Next time, we need to pay more attention to the deadlines coming up, and work our hardest and best and be productive in every class so that we don't have to rush, rush, rush at the last minute!
A similar scenario happened with our radios. We were kind of just cruising and then all of a sudden,Lilly is awesome, we found out that radios and the first quarter project were due the next week, and we really had to hurry! I think we did a good job with the radios, though, other than lack of practice (because we had no time) which caused our radios to sound to much like we were reading, and not having a conversation. I thought writing the radios was pretty fun, and we just needed a little more time.
In between those two big projects, we also did a lot of side things. I made my first advisory game, worked morning announcements, wrote blogs, got a Media iPad.... it was very fun and yet, challenging, which was a good thing. The huge lesson that I learned this quarter was that it doesn't pay to not do your best each class. Every class and chance you get, you really need to take advantage of the time given, and be super productive, even if your project isn't due soon. It always pays to be done early so that you have time to go back and fix anything, rather than just waiting until the last minute to get it done.
In conclusion, you can see what a busy first quarter I've had! I worked on a lot, from radios, to advisory games, to radios, and more... When I get back from Fall Break, I'm really hoping for a great quarter were I can apply all that I've learned into it. I'm also going to try really hard to get things done on time, if not early. Until then, see ya!
