I suppose it's about time for some random ramblings, and since we don't have a blog assignment for Monday, I might as well go ahead and ramble now. While rambling, I'd at least like to stay on the subject of the class, so I'm going to discuss some concerns I have.
I've never tried really hard to get records for anything. Either I get them, or I don't. Well, typically I get them. But if someone tells me no, it will be several weeks before the records become available, I move on. I don't like taking no for an answer, but when records are concerned, I just haven't found fighting to be worth it ... yet.
I think I can honestly say that it's almost fall break and I still don't know exactly what's going on in this class. Part of that is senioritis. In two months, I'm gone ... But I'm not a total slacker. I understand that we're collecting all this information to put it online so that it will be easier to access. I'm just not sure I understand the purpose. Who is going to look at this information? Does anyone care? Am I going to be traveling to Raleigh and spending an absurd amount of time with spreadsheets for no real reason? And most importantly, how is this spreadsheet going to be connected to the newspaper?
Maybe I've been really zoned out recently. Maybe I should completely understand what's going on. Maybe I should be in Raleigh right now, searching for things that I'm not sure about. I'm interested in crime reports for no real reason. If possible, that's what I want to find.
I think things are about to get tedious, and that makes me nervous.
