For this wave I am working on two pieces; one with Emily on students who look like celebritys, and another of the blood drive that RFH held about a month or so ago. The celebrity lookalike piece will be a contest that we will be holding for all students who think they have a celebrity twin. The other piece will be an informational article about the drive, the process, the organization and the state of blood drives in the area year round. I hope to have some fun and creative freedom with the first piece and again try to be very reporter-like in my 2nd article for this wave. I had more time to interview people when it had been held, so I think I will have mroe quotes from people, which I think that last piece was lacking. Overall I will probably be busy with all of my other schoolwork and this, so I am glad I have Emily to help me out.

Since the group editing session, I haven't conducted any interviews to add to my piece. I did email Dakota a list of questions so that he could answer them whenever he had time and I could use direct quotes that arent shortend due to the lack of fast handwriting on my part. I have made some minor adjustments that were recommended by my classmates, and I hope that with Dakota's interview my story will have a better insight into the thoughts of the students on the trip. I hope that he emails me back soon, so that I can work torward finishing the article. Otherwise, I couldn't ask about any other students I could conntact on Friday because I was absent so I'll have to wait until this week.
