In The headlines today

I'm not a politician or a political journalist. I know enough about NY to "heart" it (as the t-shirt says) but not that much to talk about the articles on the hard hitting stuff yet.
However, I have found some headlines that i feel comfortable enough to express my opinions on.
The first, Dated yesterday, was about a private school, Dalton, In Manhattan. The first thing to catch my eye was that it said something about "A lesson in Journalism."
The story was about A talk a visting Justice gave the students.Justice Anthony M Kennedy, put a publishing restriction on the journalists of the schools paper, The Daltonian saying that no article could be published without his approval.
The reason this interested me was because, as my fellow, journalistic lincolnians know, a couple of weeks ago we had a Talk with a Journalist named Tom Bower. As I am bound by Chatham House rule I cannot publish anything about the talk, or I would be breaking, well the law.
However, after being told in a media law lecture Americans were legally guaranteed a free press by the first amendment, this suprised me a lot. Well apparently, In America at least, Judges can place restrictions on reporting, outside of the courtroom!
The Second Story was about the gravestone of an Irish man found under Washington square park. At first I thought this was a rather depressing story, as no one knew who he was or what he did. Then I thought again and realised I would Love to make the news 210 years after my death! I mean think of the people who do that, people like Shakespeare etc. Most of them are royals, or famous, but this guy was a no-one. A no-one from Ireland who came to New York to live a new life, far from Ireland. And maybe he had a dream, that didnt work out, Scientists think he was a Grocer or a Watchman. But now he is in The NY Times and people are trying to solve this mystery of him! Wow.

NOW.... onto my Day
Well, today was the deadline for my Journalism Skills Assignment. And I had it all figured out. After my mini disaster with my computer shutting down as I was ten words away from finishing typing everything out, I tought I would type it up at home and bring it to Uni today on a memory stick. Which I did. No problem. Or so I thought.
Got up at quarter to ten this morning, enough time for a shower and to be at library to print out my stories for 11:30, so I would be on time for my Lecture at 12 etc.
Half way through washing my hair, the shower went cold. Freezing cold. BRR.
So I got to the library, printed out my stories, and tried to print my news feature. But Ihadnt saved it in the right format, and the bloody thing wouldn't open!!!
Had to type out the whole 400 word thing from memory, because I'm an idiot that threw her notes away
TIP: DON'T.EVER.THROW.YOUR.NOTES.AWAY. EVER!
So, by the time I had done that, I was too late for my Lecture. :-(.
So then I went to get some lush lunch!! I had sweet potato salad with Chilli and Lime dressing :D Lettuce and Sweetcorn.
I met Craig at One, even though he couldn't see me! (quite difficult to miss ha ha)Went to Library as he had spotted some Typo's in my work, and he needed to print his off, (more disorganised than me!!)THEN he decided to buy a folder for his assignment so we decided to go to Smiths, where Craig proceeded to buy GQ, and £4 worth of chocolate LOL, but no folder. So then we went to Wilkinsons to buy a folder, which we did.
Craig decided he wanted Chips, so he got Curry Sauce, Chips and A sausage (yum), And he gave me his last chip (AWW):-) and we had a bit of a heart-to-heart LOL
So then we finally handed our assignments in like 2:40, and then he walked me to my seminar (who said chivalry was dead?)Although I did have to violently tickle him in order to get him not to panic in the lift. :D
Tonight I am off out with the girls and Craig and Jacques :P to celebrate the end of our assignment :D
