Droppin the Funck

I just returned from the first official Evvy Awards general meeting. Wow.
The faculty advisor, Pete, initially turned me off. I now think that he is a genius. He should work in Admissions. He is abrasive, but he is passionate and he knows his stuff. Even more impressive was his commanding use of "f*ck" ELEVEN times in a one-hour meeting. His portrayal of Emerson College in relation to the media industry and his examples of student placements into power positions electrified the minds of everyone in the room. I am so psyched about the opportunities available within my immediate reach.
Also, I decided to narrow my organizational involvement. The Evvy Awards and Emerson Independent Video are my primary concentrations, with part-time participation as a photographer for The Berkeley Beacon. I am offering my visual design talent to WERS FM, but am withdrawing from any maintenance duties. Emerson’s yearbook failed to impress me and I feel that my efforts are better off elsewhere. Freshmen Class Council and Good News Fellowship require minimal effort and offer much social interaction, so they stay on the iCal.
