Thanks.

At 6:17pm on February 10, 2009, Nadine Goldberg said…: I just posted this as a comment to Josh's post about section assignments, so here's a copy for you:

I apologize for the inconvenience, but after receiving our section assignments during journalism today, Patrick and I would like to propose a switch:

Patrick is currently assigned to the features section, but he has a great preference for opinion, which is his strongest style.

I am currently assigned to opinion, but I exponentially prefer news writing and would be best able to contribute to the paper by writing for that section. In fact, ever since writing our news articles, I have eagerly awaited the opportunity to write more. I know that I managed to earn an ‘A’ on my opinion article earlier this year, but I really struggled with it.

Gwendolyn is currently assigned to news, and though she was not in class today, her friend Alice indicated that, as she has not yet begun work on news, she would probably not mind switching.

We hope that Patrick can first switch sections with Gwendolyn, and then switch with me. This would leave him assigned to the opinion section, me assigned to the news section, and Gwendolyn assigned to features.

We understand that it is important to have strong writers in all sections of the paper, and we hope that this switch satisfies all of the editors involved. If you have a better suggestion, we’d be happy to discuss it. And, of course, if it is not possible to make the changes, we will all do our best with our current assignments.

Thanks a million!
-Nadine

I don't know if they're still working on it, but I haven't gotten a journalism 2 edit for my article yet. Is there someone I should talk to or should I just wait?
Thanks!

At 10:18pm on November 12, 2008, Amanda Epstein said…: Hey Mr. Weiss
Both Lena and Rachel commented back telling me they had their story ideas up. Therefore, i only re-checked their blogs and gave them their ideas. I didn't check anybody else's.
Hope this is okay.
Let me know if you want me to re-check everyone's blogs tomorrow so that they can start writing their first drafts over the weekend!
:)
