Congrats "Reporter"

Ok so you are officially a reporter!

Is still somewhat hard to believe when at the beggining of the semester I just signed up for a class expecting to be given the tipical assignments and having to study for the same exams and midterms.

Now I just read the first issue of the South Florida Times with one of our own on its pages. Unbelievable! More so when the prof is gushing over how proud he is of us. This is not an easy thing to do.

Well now that we have the tittle... no preassure to deliver. This is something that I thought was going to progressively get here maybe as a final, having all our stories compiled into blogs or one massive issue. NOT! It's honestly overwhelming specially when you have to double, triple check your information and having in mind that the info was a hassle to get in the first place.

I am proud of all that we are doing but I don't think I'm as ready and I know this is jitters and unexperience talking but the last thing I want is to dissapoint.

I have my first story due in a week, it still has holes in it and that's because I'm dealing with government officials who are being very skeptical about giving up general information. I hope that it goes well and that if anything it shows that I tried.

Wish me luck... I'll let you know how it goes.
