Ch Ch Changes

So to catch you up on things...I did meet Andy Phillips at Ridgeway Church a few weeks ago. He has a very touching story about how his wife became pregnant, then was diagnosed with a type of uterine cancer, and lost the baby. His wife spoke at the church also. As of June, she is in remission. The church provided cards for you to fill out your information and a message to Andy, he would read all the cards, and sign them while he's on the team's road trip (which is right now). I put my info on the card and explained that I want to interview him for broadcasting school. Unfortunately, Andy was placed on the disabled list last week so I don't know if that effects his chances of returning to New York but it's all in God's hands.









The week before last, I went to a Yankees game with the other girl from class. I was surprised when we drove to Yankee Stadium how close it is to where I live. It's only about 20 minutes. We had a lot of fun even though the Yankees lost :(









This past Sunday I went into Manhattan to scope out a field near Chelsea Piers for my news story. Manhattan is an amazing place...when I walked out of Grand Central I could hear a lot of noise. It sounded like a protest but it turned out to be an East Indian pride parade. I walked a block over and they were doing a photo shoot for what I think is an ad campaign.









Things are wrapping up quickly at school. I have one week left. This past week we had to do our sports and news finals. The instructors said I did really well on both finals. I also went to Randall's/Ward's Island to interview the NY Women's rugby team. Randall's/Ward's Island is a tiny plot of land in the East River on the north end of Manhattan. This is a picture from the island toward Long Island.









This upcoming week I have a radio show final with a group of 3 guys (which I've done most all the work), and our TV final where the entire class is creating a news program. A guy named Chris and myself have been chosen by our instructors to be the producers. This just means that we are in charge and responsible for everything. Actually, I take it as a pretty big compliment that I was chosen and I hope it means my instructors see potential in me. It feels a lot like The Apprentice lately. Everyone is working on a huge project, Chris and I are the leaders and the other students are either very cooperative and easy to work with or total slackers. Some listen to you because they know you're the leader and others just don't care. I guess in the end it will be like The Apprentice when some of us actually get jobs and the rest are left scratching their head about what went wrong. We took a class picture, so when I get a copy of one, I'll post it on here.

On September 7, we are going on a field trip to a taping of the Montell William's show. And we are planning a field trip to ESPN studios.

Please be praying for God to lead me in the right direction. I have no idea what I'll be doing after September 7! I'm waiting on God to provide a job that will allow me to pay my bills, I'll need to find a place to live, and this all should be figured out by September 7. I feel like there's not enough time between now and then to get things figured out. I need to trust God and realize it's His timing, not mine. I don't know if God wants me to stay here in NY (I'd like to stay here and pursue some of the networks I've made). Maybe He wants me back in Cali or somewhere else entirely, in which case, I'd still need to find a job and affordable living.
