I haven't set foot on campus, besides turning in a little paperwork in to the Communication school for my internship. So I had to get better acquainted when I gave a campus tour to one of my friends who just transferred to Ohio State. It was still pretty much a ghost town like it was last summer when I took classes but today was a little different since the campus was becoming flooded with supreme Buckeye fans who were going to the Open-Football practice. We decided to go to see what all the hype was about, right after we ate at Charley's (www.charleys.com) on High Street, which rendered me one of the best philly cheesesteak sandwiches and lemonade of my life. But it's truly amazing to witness the diehard dedication OSU fans show. I couldn't believe how many people showed up to a simple scrimmage.

I ended up having to appear back on campus a couple more times to complete the necessary training at the Ohio Union for all student organization leaders (http://ohiounion.osu.edu/studentorgs/orgs.asp). This would be my last time having to do this so I decided to get it over with before school starts and do the training as the Treasurer for the National Association of Black Journalists and as the President for Renewed Vessels Bible Study. When all the officers complete their training before October 15, the group is considered registered for the year and can receive money and supplies from the University.

This week at NBC4, there was a big buzz around the station about how the news industry was going to change dramatically within the next year, causing reporters to become "one-man bands" where they would have to shoot their own footage, write their stories, and then edit it all in a day. So of course the reporters were outraged since many of them did that type of work when they first started out, and the photographers disliked the idea because now instead of being behind the scenes, they would have to be on camera as well. So basically, there would be a bunch of cutbacks and everybody in the field would be doing the same job, in order to compete with the 24-hour news channels. So this was kind of discouraging to hear. Many of the people at NBC4 said they would be leaving the station if this system took effect, but that it would also be a good opportunity for someone starting out like myself.
