Home Stretch

I can't believe how fast the semester (and, within that, the radio project) have gone by. With our teachers playing hooky last week (kidding--they went to a conference in Montreal to talk about this very work!), most of us decided to use our Thursday "off" to meet up anyway and work more on editing.

No! Bad sand! Get back up there! Darn you space/time continuum!

Seriously, though, it's really shaping up nicely. I think we'll have a segment to be proud of once it's all done... so, by Friday! We've managed to rearrange our audio in a coherent manner to explore the themes of (for my group) history in the communities of BayBrook and Sparrows Point, and it's exciting to think that our hard work will begin airing on the Marc Steiner Show next week!

I've felt very disconnected, though, and isolated from the rest of my class as they plan the May 18 Garden Gala Fundraiser for the Filbert Street Garden. I'm glad the class met normally last Tuesday, so we "radio show people" could touch base with that part of the class' efforts. We're doing that again this week, too, and I'm glad--despite all of the time needed for the radio work, it's important to stick with everybody on our main mission, especially as we come to the final push.

(Apropos of nothing, my relatives are looking forward to coming to the Gala.)

Also there's still 41 days left for the IndieGogo campaign!
