Readin' Writin' -n- Reportin' Who's got the camera? Where are the pictures, John? Did you write the story? Where is it? Who put this on my desk? Just a minute . . . you wait just a minute . . . okay, I'll be there in just a second . . . ALL RIGHT ALREADY!!! If you understand this jibberish, you must have been in a journalism class. Aughhh, journalism, that glorious class that goes hand in hand with both fun and frustration. If you ever got the idea journalism was a lot of hard work dealing with detailed planning, writing, typing, taking and developing pic- tures and handling sales clientele, you were exactly right. Journalism is a hands-on-the-job experience. The planning part is tedious, writerls block is inevitable, and bookkeeping is tiresome. And just when you feel ready to pull out every hair in your head, the part of journalism that helps keep your sanity comes to the rescue: LAUGHTER! The laughter shared between the friends in a journalism Class is enough to make you forget all the frustration and pressure that seems overwhelming at times. Dancing in the darkroom with only the sound of running water, telling jokes in the privacy of the room across the hall, laughing at the way the jornalism teacher stoops to take a picture in front of the whole student body, and scheming to leave class are the normalcies of journalism. But of course if you think journalism is normal, you are absolutely mistaken. It is the oddest of alllclasses and that's what makes it so fun! 102
