TIME FLYS...IT SHOULD HAVE WALKED....

MAN TIME REALLY FLYS..WHEN REALLY SHOULD HAVE WALKED...

IVE BEEN SICK FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT REALLY SUCKED. I MISSED SO MUCH AND I AM SO MAD. WELL ATLEAST I HAD SOME EXPERIENCE OF BEING A MINI REPORTER/STORY TELLER.

MY LAST STORY A.K.A THE BIG FINALE WAS FUN TO DO. USUALLY I WOULD BE SLEEP AROUND 2AM BUT NOT ON MONDAY. I WAS UP CREATING MY LAST STORY. WHY? WELL I WAS THINKING A LOT, MAINLY ABOUT WHERE I LIVE, HOW I LIVE, AND WHERE I WILL LIVE IN 20 YEARS. WEIRD. IDK...SO I STARTED THINKING ABOUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND STARTED TO CREATE MY POEM. (ENJOY)

I DID SOME JOB SHADOWING WITH PHYLLIS YESTURDAY, IT WAS FUN. WE WERE ON A MISSION TO ASK PEOPLE ABOUT GROCERY SHOPPING. FIRST WE WENT TO A PARK BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF COMMOTION GOING ON. THERE WAS LIKE 5 POLICE CARS AND THIS MAN WENT TO JAIL. MAN IT WAS CRAZY!! I ENDED UP GETTING A STORY ON ACCIDENT..LOL..NO REALLY I WASNT SUPPOSE TO BUT THERE WAS 2 WOMEN THAT SEEN THE WHOLE THING SO I WAS INTERESTED IN TALKIG TO THEM.

ANYWAYS WE LEFT THE PARK (IN THE AWESOME HYBIRD) AND WENT TO A LOCALE BUS STOP. IT WAS FUN BECAUSE I SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNEW AND ASKED IF PHYLLIS COULD INTERVIEW THEM. THEY ACCEPTED THE REQUEST. IT MADE THE DAY A WHOLE LOT EASIER.

TODAY IS MY LAST DAY IN WEEKDAY HIGH BUT THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU'LL SEE OF ME. ILL BE AROUND. I HAD A GREAT TIME. THANKS NATHEN FOR HELPING ME WITH MY STORIES AND BRAD (IF BRAD HAPPENS TO READ THIS FROM SCHOOL) THANK YOU TOO. THANK YOU STEVE FOR THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY. TODEELOO...LOL..TO THE KUOW STAFF AND INTERNS...ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR SUMMER.

SINCERELY,

Hello all,

Today's show is called "You Don't Have to be a Rocket Scientist." Lillian went to an arcade and talked to some people about the games they like to play, and I did the story about Rocket Racing. It was a lot of fun to do. I got to interview Eric Lindbergh, the grandson of Charles Lindbergh, and that was fun. I also got to interview Granger Whitelaw, which is really a story in itself. Much thanks to both of them for talking to me.

Enjoy !!

Haven't posted on here in hella ....
This week Ann and I have been hosting the podcast. It's a lot of work and last-minute cramming, especially since I have soccer in the mornings and can't get here till the afternoon. It's pretty fun though, in a tedious way I guess, trying to come up with creative scripts and connect stories. I can't believe Weekday High is almost over! Seems like just yesterday that Brad and Nathan were cracking bad jokes about like... pineapples, or something.

Two podcasts left to host, then the last day.
I'll definitely miss wandering around the mazes of sloped floors here, getting voxpops in the hot sun or cold rain around the U District (thanks to Seattle's dialectical/bi-polar/global warming weather), chillin in the Green Room, editing pieces and just the everday "banter" that goes on here... Hey, I might even miss the arctic-like temperatures of the basement..... Okay no, definitely not.

I'm gonna follow in Lillian's blog-steps and give a big shoutout/thank you to everyone at Weekday High and KUOW. You guys are awesome. Ridiculous at times, yes. But awesome nontheless.

It's been fun.
Mad love, yo!

Can you believe today's show is our 14th!?

Today's show highlights Weekday High 2008's theme of Activism. Lillian Warner reports on why teens today are perceived as indifferent towards politics. She talked with an organization called Washington Bus. What she found out proves that most teens aren't apathetic at all. Then, Kat Beame interviews her classmate Keshav. He gets puzzled looks from his peers when he tells them he wants to attend West Point Military Academy. Kat tells us why he puts up with them.
Listen: Apathy is For Losers


(from http://www.washingtonbus.org/)

Here's the Washington Bus that travels around the state. Learn more about them here. They are awesome. The guy I interviewed, Toby Crittenden, was really nice. He was the first person I interviewed that I didn't know. It was a phone interview too, which I had never done either. Irene had to do some frantic made-up sign language telling me to hang up the phone and press the right buttons while I was talking with Toby. Haha.

Sooo Rainy!

Hi. It's raining really really hard today. My mom said a funnel cloud was forming on the coast, and funnel clouds are apparently the precursors to tornadoes. ...But I thought Washington never got tornadoes?

Today was really good. It sucks that everything is winding down for Weekday High. I don't think there was one thing I did that I didn't really enjoy. Even hosting. Also, all the people at KUOW are geniunely friendly and interesting (really, really smart, too). Probably one of my favorite things this summer has just been meeting and talking with different people in the hallways and stuff. I knew this internship was going to be good, but I didn't think any job-type thing could be this fun. So I guess this blog entry is just to say thank you to everyone at the station for making it such an awesome place to be. And also to say thanks Nathan, Irene, Brad, and Steve for working with us/teaching us awesome things/letting us be interns and everything.
Also, In the past 6 weeks, I've noticed that I've been writing in shorter and choppier sentences.....
Anyway, to not end on a sappy note, I thought I would post a couple pictures. Here's two from the place I made an audio postcard of, the Night Market in Chinatown.

My awkward microphone and messy hair.

Hello All,
It's my first time hosting and so far it's going well. Today's show includes a vox pop from Capitol Hill, and an essay by Bryce. Enjoy !!

Young people will be crucial to this year's election, though political activism can take many different forms. Ann Kane talks to youth voters about why they will cast a ballot. Also, Bryce Jacobson is only sixteen, but shares a personal essay about his own influence.
