Literally Stuck in Vermont
April 19, 2010
I feel bad that I haven’t been consistent in my blogging. But I have some news to update you upon. And it’s quite fabulous, if I do say so myself. (By the way, don’t you hate all this rain?)
Anyways…
Thursday morning in Journalism, we had a very special guest, Eva Sollberger, from Seven Days. Many of us know her as the host of the popular Youtube video blog “Stuck in Vermont”. She inspired us by teaching us techniques on videography and also gave us tips about jounalism in general. We discussed about how journalists get ideas for articles, her personal experience in the news field and we also watched some of her videos; including one about dog sledding (yes! it IS fun!), one about the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book release (Big Harry Potter fan RIGHT here!), and a video about a guy who builds tiny houses! (They were sooo cute!) Eva was a great guest and we appreciated her time.
So another exciting tidbit of news, although kind of sad, is the fact that a volcano has errupted in Iceland. CVU’s biggest drama related to this is that both Greece and Italy trips are soon to depart and they might either have to be canceled or postponed. Flying over volcanic ash isn’t something that planes are too happy to do. And everyone is freaking out about it! Hopefully students on both trips will get to leave, on time, as scheduled and hopefully they won’t have to miss AP exams or prom. Otherwise, they would literally be stuck in Vermont. (Now is your time to laugh. Haha!) Anyways CVU, I wish you a good week before vacation.
Your’s truly CVU,
