The Second Week
The Second Week
Well PNN got another intern. David Albert is our new intern. He's in my Academic Seminar. He's kind of quite, and somewhat stoic. I can't tell if he likes the internship or not. Theres a lot of talking that is done here, and hopefully he will come out of his shell. Honestly I think this might not be a good fit seeing (at least as a journalist) as how were constantly being made to talk, and to be self motivated. Maybe he is motivated, but I can't tell.Today we got an assignment to go and do a documentry on anything we wanted. After some quick thinking I came up with the idea of asking people if they prefer dogs or cats? Which seemed simple enough. I asked David if he wanted to be the one asking the questions, but he gave me a look of indifference. Like one of those I dont know deals, but I figured that he didn't want to be asking the questions so I let him film. I also asked him to point out people to talk to. He was pretty reluctant, but he did choose someone.
I was pretty nervous myself, but I forced myself to talk to people and ask them questions. I was the one asking people if it was okay to film them, or asking employee's if it's okay to film in they're shop. I'm pretty proud of myself for going up to people and asking them questions, even though I was really nervous.
There having David work with Richard. He's basically going to be working on the coding side of things. That would suite David pretty well seeing as he'll only have to talk to Richard. I'm still doing my own thing. I guess my ultimate project would be the interview of Jennifer's boyfriend, Adam. He was ranked 4th in the world, not 5th as she told me. I wish I knew what version of Quake he played though. I dont like to go into things with out knowning a little bit of what I'm going to be asking about. The more I know about what I'm going to be asking about the more I'll be able to formulate follow up questions. Thats when the real interview starts. Follow up questions get you all of the good juicy stuff.
I think I'll work on my interview skills by practicing on the teachers from MSAT. I really want to interview them about how it was like to see us be the guinea pigs. Not only that but also how they've seen us grow and change. I think I will get a lot of good material.
As for the hierarchy and structure of my
WLE. I dont think there is any. They work together as team, and
there doesnt seem to be any real sign of like a king. Although you
could say that Luaren is that. Everyone seems to report to him even
though I dont see that he is giving out orders. Maybe what makes
PNN work is that everyone does what they need to do to keep the
company going. They look like they support each other. Maybe not
directly but they also dont seem to ridicule each other. There isnt
that tension in the air, that rat race feel.
