10 tell-tale signs you are in fact a broadcasting major...

This week in our capstone class, we talked about lists. Life lists, to-do lists, goal lists...that sort of thing. Also, a lot of people talked about their favorite broadcasting memories so far. And, while I definitely have a lot of those, I decided to list a few ways you know you're a broadcaster. Here goes...
#10 - you go to a movie with friends and find yourself commenting on the "rule of thirds" and whether the director gave too much head room.
#9 - you pass an accident on the road and think "if only I had my mini-disc recorder..."
#8 - you know all of the ABC news reporters by name...and that Charles Gibson never times out right.
#7 - you overhear news/gossip around campus and wonder how many ala carte points you would get for turning it into a story for the web.
#6 - you pass the creek on the way to class or go to a sporting event on campus and keep track in your head of all the great "nat sound" opportunities.
#5 - you constantly try to reduce everything everyone says to you to a 10-second sound bite.
#4 - you expect everyone (including non-broadcasters) to know what you're talking about when you say "package" or "wrap", etc...
#3 - you're still trying to figure out how the most obscure news just "finds" Mr. Weaver...
#2 - you party a little bit on the inside when you put your field tape in the edit bay and you have sound AND non-blue video.
#1 - you eat at least two meals in the newsroom everyday.

Well, this may not be true for everyone...but I've had a few of these happen from time to time :)

Yesterday was officially my last time broadcasting a football game...it hasn't really sunk in yet that I'm a senior I guess. Titan Crew has been a pretty interesting experience - definitely something I will never forget.

This week's agenda:
1. Alumni Interview and Presentation
2. make a new resume
3. help out on packages for TCL
4. probably more to be named later...

Have a good week everyone!! :)
