Long Time No Type

Hiiiiiiiiii! I havent written in awhile I see so I guess it's time to update you on what's been going on since last time. This is the last week well actually if you count down we only have....3 DAYS LEFT!!!!!! I am so happy. I actually had fun with the workshop but I really just can't wait to go home. I am so excited but enough of that back to important matters. My two interviews went well. I finished one story which was the DCD story and now im working on the soccer camp story. I should have that done by tonight. Well I'm going to get a head start on everything so I'll check back in later.

Friday

Well........It's Friday and I made it through my interview.It wasn't bad actually, It was really educational. My story worked out also, I finished it yesterday evening after many revisions it came out nice. I have another interview today and i'm not nervous. My topic is not interesting though maybe because I hate soccer. I can't stand that sport. But I'll just produce another great story.

Tuesday

Today is a pretty normal day. I have a 10 a.m. interview tomorrow morning. I'm still pretty nervous about it but, I think I'll do pretty good I'm actually a really shy person if you really get to know me. People think I'm so mean because I don't really smile unless nesscesary. That's totally not the case. I am nowhere near mean. People just need to take time out and get to know me before they judge me. But that's beside the point. Things are cool now and i'm a lot better then I was last week. But I have to go so i'll check back in with you later.

Monday At Last

It's monday already and I am so happy. Only one more week to go after this one. The program has gotten a lot better since the last time I've written about it. I'm still a bit skeptical about it but I'm more mellow now. I guess since i've gotten to know more people. I have an interview wednesday at 10am. I am kind of nervous but at the same time I'm irritated because I hate dressing up but sometimes we have to do what we dont want to do. But hey its almost over.

Its getting a little better I guess

Yesterday I had a bad headache so I couldn't come to class.

This workshop is getting a little better . Im still not very interested but i'm trying. My mom kind of made me angry when I spoke to her yesterday. She thinks the reason I want to leave is because I want to hang out with my friends which I do it's not that im just really really really UNINTERESTED.

3rd day here

It's the 3rd day here and I still dont like it. I am getting along well with a couple of people but I dont really talk to that many people. I really am considering going home early because I dislike the program. Somethings are okay but I dont know I just really am not having a good time. I think later we'll be working on more stories but I have to look at my schedule.

I had fun last night because we got out of the dorms and walked around downtown Milwaukee. Then Lauren and I went and got somthing to eat from George Webb. Well I really dont have to much to say right now so I guess I will just check back in later.

Introduction/ My feelings

Hello, My name is Nakia but most people just call me Nike. Im 16 yrs old and I attend W.E.B DuBois High school (Marshall). In the fall I will be transferring to South Division High school.

Right now im in the Urban Journalism workshop that I'm really not enjoying right now. Maybe because its just the first few days but I really don't like it here. Its not the people because there are many cool people but this workshop is just not my cup of tea. Dont get me wrong I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WRITING but I just dont enjoy this paticular type of journalism. My mom says give it till the end of the week and if I still truly dislike it I can come home. I truly really am having a bad time because I don't enjoy it.

She thought it was because I want to kick it with my friends but it has nothing to do with it I just really want to go home because its hard to try to enjoy somthing when your just not interested but I promised I'd stick it out till the weekend so i'll try and make the best of it
