A big reason reason why we survived there this time is because we were way better prepared. We had everything we needed in the order it needed to be in, and we had enough copies for everybody so no one panicked. The only thing we could have done better, which again is my responsibility, was if we had a better timing. I kept my eyes on that big clock throughout the entire broadcast to make sure we were doing good in time. But for some obscure reason my brain cells collaboratively malfunctioned and I thought we were not going to finish in time, so I took a story out and thirty seconds after I did that professor Nicholson told me our broadcast was going to end way earlier than it was supposed to. So I rushed to find the story that I had removed and just randomly inserted it back after a kicker, and that was, as I later found out, not the smartest move. Also, at the end of of our broadcast, we had a couple seconds left. I should have signaled my anchor and told her to wrap up, but I freaked out and just threw her a floater to read, which eventually resulted in our broadcast ending in the middle of a story and Faith not having time to sign off. HOWEVER, with all that said, I still enjoyed today's class THOROUGHLY, and I absolutely LOVE MY TEAM. (It's so sad that professor Nicholson is going to tear us apart...)

I'm Lovin' It
Am I just being way too optimistic or did we really do a good job today? I actually, strangely enough, did what I was supposed to do as a producer and everything worked out pretty well in general! The only thing that presented itself as a potential crisis was that it was raining and it was a slow news day. It seemed as if nothing exciting was going on (we were even short in kickers too, after the cat pee and the mother-who-attacked-her-boyfriend-by-swinging-her-baby-at-him stories were rejected) and initially my team had trouble finding good news stories. Fortunately, in the end, everybody found a good story and some stories were even in conjunction with other people's stories (ex: Ranbir and Jon's SU Homecoming 
stories), and everybody covered his or her story very well. Also, this time we managed to get into the booth and stay in! A big reason reason why we survived there this time is because we were way better prepared. We had everything we needed in the order it needed to be in, and we had enough copies for everybody so no one panicked.

Don't be so sure, Gino. Profesor Nicholson works in mysterious ways. I dont think he'll rip you apart. We're all learning and making mistakes here.
