Hello, I'm Laura one of the Telecommunication students. I'm sorry I haven't written to you lately; I've been conducting various interviews and have been caught up in TCOM land. Let's get right to it, shall we? This semester has been... well I can't quite find a word to describe it, which is a big deal for a girl who's job it is to make conversation. You see, I'm the host, writer, and producer for the film. I have been involved in telecommunication since I was little, and I have never found an outlet in the academic environment that has allowed me to accomplish everything I have ever wanted to do professionally in one experience. So you see, I without a doubt can say I very much enjoy the experiences here at the Virgina Ball Center. There have been however, shall we say, hiccups. Like that one time we were rookies and traveled to Indianapolis for the first time and forgot camera batteries, a lighting kit, and other miscellaneous items --all of importance -- naturally. Not the best feeling when you have a doctor staring at you asking what you'd like to do. Or this past week when we had our assembly. Our classmates have been working on this one day for months (no exaggerations) and a light breaks, a microphone breaks, batteries are left behind, and we don't bring enough tapes. That was a fun problem solving activity. So you can see this has been quite and experience.
We have met so many memorable people along the way. Everyone from senators, state representatives, doctors, pharmaceutical representatives, and yes, the average Joes. Each with their own story. Each with their own viewpoint, own agendas. But each joining together to solve, what some have told me, is a crisis in the United States today.
Stay tuned, I'll let you know the ins and outs of the film, some of my favorite moments, and the little secrets behind the doors to the TCOM editing suite.
