extra security

Everything's been hectic with the shooting threat. I think a lot of people think that someone just wanted a day off on a nice day. By the afternoon, there were already a bunch of house parties going on. Seems like people at Western just don't care about much. (not everyone but a lot)

Heard over the scanner about 2 more incidents but nothing either. I really hope they catch the people or person doing this.

Some kid over at Macomb High School had a knife but it was already taken away and he wasn't combative. Things around here just keep getting weirder. Yeah there's lots of news to cover but I'd rather have no news than some really bad news.

As for an internship, might have one over in Kansas. Thing is it's not paid so it's gonna be rough next year.

Well I'm off to the Illinois Press Photographer's Conference this weekend in Champaign.

hmph.

Climbing Wall at Horn Field Campus

Got to climb up 40 feet for this assignment. Wrote the article too. It was a little chilly but a good time. Kinda of hard climbing with the 20D on me. The wall wasn't too hard, I was just worried about bumping that camera. Need to do some better framing of the shots.

Other than that, it was my birthday yesterday too. Well Saturday. The big 23. Didn't do much, nothing crazy.

scanner goes off....... things happen


Alright so half a house burns down and a woman gets shot. Granted the house fire was at 230am but I probably could've covered the latter had my scanner been on and I wasn't in class.

I hear sirens as I'm typing. Wonder if something else happened? Well I need some sleep.

birthday in dos dios.....

Well, it's all over. Both teams were eliminated in the first round. Oklahoma was nice. It's always great getting a free vacation. Only bad part was the 8 hours on the bus to and from Oklahoma.

Better luck next year.
