There, we sat in on a real news meeting during which they talked about the success of the previous paper, discussed errors they made or things they didn’t discuss, compared the online ratings to the printed ratings, and also planned out what tomorrow’s issue would contain. It was exciting to see the fast paced tempo at which they worked! Afterwards, we talked to some reporters and they told us to come back in a couple years and be interns. Our next stop was Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square for lunch, shopping, and sight seeing. And picture taking, of course!
First we sat down at this adorable Hollywood Cafe and not only did they have amazing food, they also sat you down and told you what the “star celebrities” ate for breakfast and suggested you have it too! All their walls were lined with pictures of celebrities!
{Even if I’m not a big fan of chocolate, this was still pretty awesome}
{And just for the heck of it, here are some pigeons pecking away at bread}
Our next stop was The Disney Museum! I swear, seeing Disney’s entire life mapped out over the span of time, from his beginning, to his rise, and ultimately his fall, I only have one thing to say: Walt Disney was a genius. His animations will forever remain animated and a big part of our culture.
Now, I have even more respect for Walt Disney
If that was the field trip part of our day, the fear came in the later half. After dinner (which was long and afforded us the opportunity to go to Urban Outfitters and get a sweater for $10!) we had another one of Mike’s leadership lessons, this time on what makes us uncomfortable. He challenged us to step out of our comfort zones by walking down a makeshift runway that was set up, in the middle of the room, doing an original dance/walk, while everyone watched and cheered on. It was definitely affective in getting our fear levels to rise, however it was also fun in that everyone had to do it and there was awesome music playing, and we could be as silly and lame or ridiculous as we wanted to because no one would judge us. I’m not entirely sure I got the bigger purpose of the activity, besides getting us to let loose and not be as afraid of our fears, but I suppose he’ll explain more next meeting! So glad to not be leaving campus tomorrow - those bus rides give me wicked headaches!
