Alrighty!! Second official day in the newsroom! Somehow, and I really have no clue how, I have started to no longer care that my hours spent by the pool have been replaced by hours spent writing and typing in a cold, shadowy newsroom.....
First story was a success this morning appearing both online and in the print edition of The Columbia Missourian sports section. It ran as the only piece in sports by a Missourian writer (all others were Associated Press). At the budget meeting this morning the article got lots of praise, and I was very heartened to have Elizabeth Brixey come up to me this afternoon and make sure I knew that it was my article getting praise this morning. Needless to say Grant was happy as well when Brixey informed of the response the article generated this morning.
Have two more stories coming out tonight or tomorrow about two other MU swimmers, and hopefully by Friday a story about an MU thrower who is also trying to qualify for the Olympics.
Best moment of the day: Greg telling me Grant had some stories to throw my way & Grant later throwing stories my way!! Feeling honored and excited!
