My first night at the Journalism Workshop
My first night at the Workshop was memorable. My new friends Tyler, Logan, Patrick, Keegan, Tommy, and Omari are all making this a trip to remember. Patrick is the first participant that I met and we have been friends ever since. I found out that Tyler is an extremely good basketball player and hopes to play in the NBA one day. Logan and Tyler are both from Chicago which is a long way away from Auburn. Keegan has a lot of funny stories and Tommy is pretty funny himself.
Robert is the guys counselor at the camp and he used to be a football player. He brought a football with him so before dinner Robert, Patrick, Brody, Trent, Alexis, and I played a quick game of football. Dinner was fun and it was good bonding time with my new friends. I also got to meet and interview Kristen who is also from Georgia. I got to learn a lot of extraordinary things about everyone at the workshop.
When we got back from dinner, about half of the guys and girls at the workshop played a game of football. The game was fun and I had fun guarding Logan. After the football game ended, I went back up to my room and took a shower. After I showered I went down to the lobby and watched the Oklahoma City and Miami Heat basketball game and The Hangover with all of the workshop participants. My first night at the workshop was definitely memorable.

My First Day
Today was the first full day of the workshop. The day was long but it was enjoyable. My group attended six meetings/seminars throughout the day. I enjoyed this day and I got to know everyone a little bit better. As the day went on, I got tired and felt like I was going to fall asleep during dinner. After dinner, all of the participants met with the writers of the Auburn Plainsman and that was a very neat experience.
My Second Day
Today was the second day of the workshop. Although I was already tired due to the first day and me not being used to waking up early, it was a good day. My group attended five seminars/meetings and we worked on our websites for the first time. This day was even longer than the first but it was still unbelievably enjoyable. I got to get to know people even better today and all of the participants are enjoying themselves.
My Third Day
Today is my third day and at this point I am so tired that I want to fall asleep during class! Although I was tired, I managed to stay awake. The classes today were enjoyable and I enjoyed them. My group attended three seminars/meetings today and worked on websites for hours. These websites don't look like much but they are a lot of work!!
My Fourth Day
Today was my last "real day" of the workshop. Today all of the participants went to Montgomery and attended three seminars. They were very intriguing and informative. I learned a lot about the Civil Rights Movement and how a group of people fight hate. This day was even longer than all of the others and it was a lot of work because it was on of our two chances to finish the website. It is also the day of my last blog.
