Murderous Monday

check out this sweet table of the many ways the current administration is trying to undermine and warp scientific findings.

well, my first day of class is over. it was a long one. work in the morning, swim in the early afternoon, class from 2-5, 6-9. they look promising enough, i suppose. feature writing is going to be okay. it's similar to the magazine writing class i took last semester, with tweaks that make it more newspapery. so it should be interesting to see how the two media differ. my publications design and technology class looks like it's going to be fun. and easy. the programs we are learning, adobe indesign and photoshop, are set up logically from what i can see, and i usually get along well with logical applications. i'll design a couple pages for the newsletter of a nearby school and create my own poster/newsletter/brochure/magazine/booklet/whatever for a final project. i think the computer stuff will be a breeze for me, and i'm looking forward to seeing what kind of creative ideas i can develop. it should be valuable if i decide to go into copy editing since many small papers have a crossover between layout and copy editing. well, that's all for now. i'll be back in the coming days to update you on my other two classes, i'm sure.
