365 - March 2014

It's so weird to think that this time last year I was getting ready to wrap up my two years at Loyalist College and head out on my internships.  Time has really flown by.

I'm starting to get used to the Wednesday to Sunday work week. I'm enjoying getting to sleep in on Monday morning :P

AND I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of my Canon work gear - especially since I now that have a new, non squealing flash.

Things to look forward to in March:

Internship - Kingston This Week - Week Two (May 23) Published

I know I'm repeating myself but week two just flew by.

I'm excited that I'm still being assigned my own stories along with shooting for other reporters.  I'm starting to get recognized at some of the high school sports events now :)

I've lived in Kingston all my life and I find it fascinating that there are so many places I didn't know about.  Did you know that we have a Tennis club and a lawn bowling club? 

Events I covered: Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, Rolling on the Runway, Science Rendezvous, high school tennis, soccer and track/field, and the Legionnaires Parade.

Stories I wrote: CAA Worst roads campaign, Centennial Ecofair, first time author Jan Miller and the Blue Canoe fundraising campaign.

This is what got published (and again, some events were held for next week):
