Weert @ MindSay

I told you I went to Weert right? Let me explain more. I am following the school of journalism. And we have different projects. The first project was called New & Information. The purpose was to introduce journalism to us. Pretty fun. We learn to write small newsmessages. The small ones became bigger in the second project. It was called inland country. There you was like a newspaper redaction from a small regional newspaper. We got the newspaper 'Het Friesch Dagblad'. So we had to search for news that belonged there. And we need to write reports about events and newsitems. Also pretty fun. Then the third project was called City. We need to make interviews there. We got the city Weert. But I will get back to that in a second. First I will go on. The fourth and last project is called Media-Orientation Forgein Country's. In Dutch that's Media-Orientatie Buitenland. We name it MOB. In MOB we get introductions in television, radio, press-agency's and stuff like that. But we also go to a forgein city. And we go to...Paris. Some of us are excited, others aren't happy about it. Personally I think we got lucky cause we also could have drawn other cities that were worse then Paris. We still don't know if we go. I hope so.

 

Well back too Weert. That's the city we need to go too. It's pretty far from were I live so it's a long time travell. And in the beginning the group wasn't always a group. But luckly we became a group. At least from my point of view. Later Fallon came with the group, cause something went wrong with her stuff. Anyways. The point of this project was learning the interview. I first interviewed Paul Lempens from the Socialistic Party (a politic Partij), then Rene Verheggen (Weert Lokaal). Yesterday I had two more interview. One with Ad Molenaars, he's part of the direction of a school and one with Fieke Kuntz - De Bruin. She won a ribbon, because of doing good community-work. So I interviewed them. The difference between when I interviewed Lempens and when I interviewed Molenaars is big. And now the project is almost finished. Tests are coming up. And MOB also. And then it's all over. I hope it will work. But I am at least glad I don't have to go to Weert anymore. And Paris then? But that's only an entire week, so a week there and "c'est tout". No problems there. I am curious. Curious what Paris is gonna give me and what Weert has given me.

Update from school...why? Because I have a busy day today and now I have two hours off. It's pretty boring ofcourse nothing to do..only my weblog to update. I didn't even took my laptop to school today. Why? Because like I said I have a busy day today. I woke up at 6.30AM today, I voted for the politicis in our community and then went to school. I followed a lesson about making headlines and now two hours off. And then? Then the real heavy stuff begins. After that we got a introduction we should go to a voting agency and interview people there, make small pieces and stuff like that. At 4.30PM we need to present then at the other students. But then the day isn't over. No, we still have to go to Weert. Yes, Weert. It's far away from were I orginally live so it's a pretty long trip. But we are finished around 5.15PM but we need to be in Weert at 8PM. So we have to haste ourselves to eat, then we need to go to Weert. And around 9PM the voting agency closes and they can go can count the votes. The results are expected in around 9.30PM. The evening last till 10PM and then back home. The journey takes 2 hours. So I am in Roosendaal at 12AM. But then it still isn't finished. No, well not that's very tired making what I am gonna do after that. I need to catch a cab, cause the place were my bike is standing is closed then. The biggest problem about the cab is that it costs 4 euro 15. Don't they ride for free:P? Anyways, I have had a worse day two weeks ago. Also on a tuesday. Then I also went to Weert for an interview with Paul Lempens, he's the leading man for the SP (a socialstic political party) in Weert. I was pretty nervous then. But in the evening I need to go to Weert for a discussion evening. Eventually I was home at 1AM then, while I woke up that day at 6AM. I was just glad I had the next day off. But about today? I don't have off tommorow. No, they expect me to be at school at 9.30AM again. So it's wakey wake again at either 6AM or 6.30AM. With these days I feel a bit like Jack Bauer, only without the shooting, the kidnappings, the president etc. People, welcome to the 2nd longest day of my life.
