Today was my fourth day as producer and I'm proud to say that it went off pretty much without a hitch. I was, of course, a little panicky throughout the day but everything pulled together very well thanks to everyone's cooperation. Before the news meeting I met with my professor to talk about my grades. Since the first two weren't my best, I was hoping to get some light how the rest of my semester was looking. But my professor assured me that so long as a keep up the work effort and do a quality job on the show, I should be okay. With all that in mind, I wanted to make an effort to really up my game... now the only challenge is keeping it there.
Since last time I was severely heavy with my show, I was watching my hit times very very closely as to not be over once again. I have to admit, I was a bit antsy to float a story. I would be ready to click and my professor would stop me only to say that my time was looking good. I didn't know how he was able to tell so fast, but I guess that comes with practice. I was really happy to have even made it through my A Block, but my professor quickly reminded me that I was only a quarter of the way done. Block by block everything fell into place with a shove here and there. The anchors did a great job of listening to cues like pushing toward commercial when need be. There was a snag in the sports block due to technical difficulties but nothing that couldn't be solved or fixed.
All in all, I'm really proud of today's show. No matter how things go from here, at least I know what me and my team are capable of doing... It's not so impossible after all.
