I'm having Separation Anxiety Disorder

I really had a great time at the workshop. It was nice getting to know all the editors and volunteers (or as Leonel calls them, a bunch of misfits), and I'm glad I made friends with my fellow campers. Congradualations to Andrea and Rachel on the scholarships, and to everyone else for finishing the program without killing eachother.

Vox News: Meth Mouth Video

Vox newspaper reporters investigate "meth mouth's" causes and consequences.

The last day...

As I get ready to walk outside my dorm room, I am saddened by the fact that this is the last day. The workshop has been a wonderful experience and the students have been great. I don't know if there are any future journalists in the group (I hope at least one or two give it a shot), but I know they will be successful in whatever they elect to do. They are hard working and talented. They know how to communicate. I am very proud of you all.

Damn it

I have to get twitter now.

I'm sitting in my dorm and I just heard something that will stay with me for the rest of my life:
"You could be a cougar looking for young boys." -Jose

Ah, I'm going to miss this workshop.

Vox Rocks!

I'm really impressed with the newspaper. The students did an excellent job, writing stories, taking photos and designing the paper (with the generous help of Jen). It's very professional looking and it is filled with a diversity of stories. You all should be proud. What an accomplishment in just over one week's time.
