Week of September 23-29 (3.5 hours)

Monday, September 24th

As usual, at 10:40 am we held the Interlachen meeting. We had intended on showing some video clips that have been taken this semester so far that T.J. was happy with (to sort of give the new members an idea of what to strive for), but T.J. was unable to attend so that did not happen. We did our usual check-in of any equipment that was needing to be checked in and then discussed the events for the week. Because it was Rush Week, events were pretty light. Not a whole lot was going on around campus so there weren't many spots to fill. After sign-ups were done, we addressed the upcoming "Interlachen bonding" night that we've been planning and gave the details on that. The meeting was then adjourned. This meeting was one hour.

Later on, I was lucky enough to once again be released from Intercultural Communications early enough to go to the "Go Healthy FSC" meeting! We discussed progress on the current packages and unfortunately there wasn't much to say about the Neuro Water package. Luckily, Sarah McNab is now taking charge of it and it seems to be shaping up much better. We also viewed the show from last week and Dr. Bradford gave her feedback on how it turned out. Overall she seemed pleased with it; only giving a few technical critiques. This meeting was also an hour. 

Following the meeting I met up with Shannah in the broadcast studio to observe her editing for her package on the Tutor Tables. We were there for about 30 minutes before heading to the Student Solutions Center to shoot interviews for the package. We interviewed the overseer on Tutor Tables, as well as one of their tutors that was there that day. Following the interviews we shot b roll of the tutors doing what they do best! We finished that up in about an hour. 

TOTAL HOURS EARNED THIS WEEK: 3.5 HOURS

Week of September 16th-22nd (3 hours)

This week was pretty calm for me. I didn't go out on any shoots, unfortunately, because one fell through. I was supposed to shoot video of the Cross Country team for Interlachen but it started raining right before they started and it wouldn't seem to let up :/

I did manage to get a few hours though.

On Monday at 10:40 am, Interlachen met as usual. We discussed the progress so far and what needed to be done/shot this week. Luckily we were joined for the first time by Natosha, our copy editor, so the newcomers got to meet her and hear a little bit about how they can help her out! This meeting was one hour.

I was very glad to realize that I was let out of class early later on that day because that meant that I was able to attend the Wellness TV meeting for the first time this year as well! We met and discussed the next show and who wanted to do what packages. I ended up teaming up with Olivia to work on the Neuro-Water package because the topic seems pretty interesting and its something that a lot of people probably don't know too much about yet. This meeting was also one hour.

On Friday, I worked an hour shift at the Interlachen table for the communications picnic lunch. Unfortunately we didn't have many people come by at all and actually care to hear about any of the programs, but it was still a good time and worth the hour put in. I stood at the table with fellow Interlachen staff and talked to students as they came. I worked this shift from 12:00-1:00.

TOTAL HOURS EARNED: 3 HOURS

Week of Sept. 9-15: 2 HOURS

This week I attended two events that amounted in hours for myself.

First event of the week was the Interlachen meeting on Monday, the 10th. We met at 10:40am in the office and we addressed some minor issues that we've had the past week. We had to talk to the staff about our camera check-out system and how it would now be structured differently until the cage gets up and running in order to keep better track of the cameras and tripods. We also assigned events as usual before the meeting was over. This was one hour.

The second event was on Saturday, the 15th. I attended Salsa Magic to shoot video for Interlachen's video portion of the DVD. It was really fun. I showed up at 7:00 when it was to begin and I focused on getting video of both the students getting taught the hispanic dances, as well as the professionals demonstrating. Unfortunately I only had one memory card in my bag, so once that filled up I had to quit for the night. :-/ It was beginning to get too dark to shoot anyhow though. I left the event at 8:00.

TOTAL HOURS EARNED: 2 Hours
