New York City Day 16: Long Day

As you can tell from the title of this post, today was a long day. I've come to find that one cannot live off of oatmeal alone! Lol, I have a crazy headache and my stomach is not too pleased with me. I don't really want to go into too much detail about how long I've been up and all that jazz because it comes with the business, but what I will say is that everyday, LITERALLY, everyday since I've been here, I've been learning more and more about me. I can see God challenging me every single day and I can't get over that. I'm thankful for it.

Now back to business. I'm at the Grio today and, I had an epiphany, the males out number the females. There are 8 males there and 7 females...ok, before listen, I'm including interns so TECHNICALLY there are far more males than there are females in there. Anyhoo, mostly everyone came back from the NABJ conference and they spread nothing but good news. Today also marked the day that I official begin working with Alexis and Joy Ann. I'll be writing for the Living section and (swallows) politics.

That's the one thing I feared writing about because it's hard for me to really get into politics. They are sooooo passionate about it at the grip and I sit there for the most part trying to figure out who is who and how you pronounce a certain person's name that I forget the issue at hand! So I know for a fact that it's going to be a challenge, so I need to read everything they read and some. Hopefully all goes well.

It's also me and Lauren Morton's week to produce the Tom Joyner Morning Show. We underestimated the task. We thought last Friday was an early day to reach out to the guest when in reality, that was pretty late. Luckily, we pulled it off. It was a hassle, but I try not to freak out too much because I take thing's as a trial and error. We're here to mess up so that we can do better next time and the next time and the next time. So I can't sweat my mistakes this time around because I'm new to the entire thing. I just know to be a load of a lot more prepared for the segment this Friday!
