That’s right blogging world, I had school and work today while everyone else was enjoying their day off. In fact, I have been going nonstop since I woke up at 7:45 this morning. I’m just now relaxing. I went to class and work, then grocery shopping, cooking, and a project presentation meeting at 8 before heading to Grace’s for a bit. And now I’m here.
The presentation is this Thursday and it has to be 45 minutes long. That’s insanely long. Plus, we’ve volunteered to go first so there have been no examples for us to observe. Hopefully she’ll give us extra points for going first. It’s over agenda-setting in the media, specifically concerning health topics. For example, news coverage of AIDS increased when scientists were releasing information about its transmission in the 1980s. However, the media quickly lost interest for years. But every time someone comes out with new information or someone famous is diagnosed with HIV, reports surface. It’s kind of interesting. “The media doesn’t tell us what to think – but tells us what to think about.”
I also need to study for my entrance exam that’s Saturday morning. I don’t think it’s supposed to be too difficult, but I know there will be questions over basic stuff I haven’t looked at since high school. I’ll let you know how all of that goes.
