What it's all about...

It has been a rough couple of first days. Between technical difficulties, lack of sleep, and just trying to get in the groove, frustration started to set in early. It was not until this evening, as I sit in this uncomfortable chair editing away that I remembered what it was all for. Just today Wildcat Central had over 2,000 hits. There are people from all over the country relying us to keep them in the loop. Most might say that is a lot of pressure, I see it as an honor, a privilege, and most importantly a responsibility. As a student, there is more to learn on this trip than anyone could ever teach in a class room. However, on this trip, I cannot have a student mentality. Here I am held to a standard of excellence, and while I will be learning every step of the way, I have to conduct myself as a professional and hold myself accountable for the mistakes, blunders, and mishaps that happen in every production. This experience is going to be something I will never forget, and something I wouldn't trade for the world. So for all those college students soaking up the sun on a beach somewhere, you are missing out. Missing out on some of the best basketball in the country, 12 hour work days, and most importantly the amazing hospitality tent!
