Homework....a Reporters Work is Never Over.

 So, as a Media Arts major I've gotten used to having unconventional homework. The history, science, education majors, and all the rest get to do their homework with a book in the library. My homework consist of my dragging around a camera and acting like I'm Barbra Walters, or maybe more recently Tyra Banks.

For my Advanced Reporting class I have to do a reporting assignment every week and then we put it together as a newscast, that people can watch on you tube (so go watch it!). I really wanted to make this weeks package really good because last week I was sick and it sort of sucked. This time I was supposed to do a story for the Butler News segment, so I reported on the end of BSU week. The Black Student Union hosted a fashion show for their closing event, and reporter Melody Austin was right there to report on it.

 This year they had some really good scenes, like a politically motivated one with the Will. I. Am video playing in the background. They best was the last scene with the kids from the Kaleidescope after school program. The whole show was a big success!! Maybe next year I'll have time so I can be in it. I was a model last year and I had a lot of fun. It was really nice to be an audience member this year, especially when there was a chocolate fountain and a photo booth we kept taking pictures in. This year I had a wonderful date named Cory who just turned three! He's the son of one of my friends who was in the show. He had a great time, because he won best dressed audience member. He was the best date I ever had lol! :)  
 

If you ever see me in this package I give you permission to laugh :) ha ha ha! I just went with it and had fun. It was great time and people were really great about giving me short interviews, so I think we all really enjoyed ourselves. People really liked the camera too, because the theme was Flashing Lights: A Red Carpet Affair. So the camera really helped boost the movie star theme. I wish I could post the out takes and bloopers for ya'll because they were way more funny than the footage I have to show. Who knows maybe you might see a link to you tube sometime.

Overall the night was so much fun! The music was good, the chocolate fountain was really tasty, and the cloths were fabulous (I went shopping the next day lol)! More importantly I got a really good story. I'll make sure to post the link when we put it up and tell me what you think!!!

By the way....How does everyone like the new Butler page? Doesn't it look awesome! I love it!! I have a morning workout tomorrow with the team so I'm going to sleep. Have a great night, and I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day!!
