Automatically my favorite class of all time

Wow. I don't think I've ever been in the presence of more journalistic talent in one room before in my life (that includes Professor Nicholson by the way). All I can do after a class like that is sit back and wonder how those four hours flew by. It seemed to me by the end of the class I still had a myriad of questions to ask the three guests - Herb Weisbaum, Dave Cohen, and Bob Costas. Obviously I knew who Costas was and what he had done in his career before that class, but after doing research on Weisbaum and Cohen, I soon realized that I was going to be listening to three very accomplished journalists. From Weisbaum, the one thing I took out is how journalism, if done the right way, can make a significant impact on people's lives. After listening to Cohen, I was amazed by how much he had done in his career and what strange directions his career had taken at different stages in his life. And finally, listening to Costas was quite a humbling experience, because I know unless I'm really lucky there's no way I'll ever accomplish a fraction of the achievements he has reached in his distinguished career. I don't think it's quite hit me yet that I was in the same room as him, literally standing next to him when I got a picture with him (which of course is now my Facebook profile picture). I think it will hit me when I see him on TV in two nights when I tune into Football Night in America on NBC. Needless to say, it was an unforgettable four hours. Actually, the last half hour was forgettable because we actually had to do work, but that's just a minor complaint.
