Fifth Sponsor Meeting

Yesterday I went to go see Mr. Barna and Ms. Rearick for my fifth official meeting. Last week I couldn't go because Mr. Levitan came down from New York to tell us about our presentations. When I got there I told Ms. Rearick about my answers from one of the advisors, that I had gotten right before I left the school. My handwriting looked like chicken scratch because I was interviewing Maggi instead of Hoopes because I knew Maggi had more experience with prom organizing (and because I didn't have time to look for Hoopes). Maggi had given me really good answers that could help give my article more 'umph', so I was really glad that I had decided to interview Maggi instead. Ms. Rearick said that my hasty handwriting was fine because she knows from experience how it is to get down every single word that a person is saying. I remember her saying something about shorthand but I couldn't really make out what she said. She also asked me when my prom was and when I told her, she said that it could be a problem because it's so late (it's May 29). She told me that I could write my article in my p.o.v. but it would have to wait until after my prom and it would be in a column (which is soo cool!). When she found my notes on the computer, which is conveniently named "Prom Notes", I had gotten right to work with typing up my answers. While I was doing that, Mr. Barna had to leave because of some emergency, which I believe it was a family one but I'm not too sure on that. After I got finished, there wasn't anything left for me to do since Mr. Barna had left and didn't give me anymore instructions to continue on with my progress, so Ms. Rearick said I could leave, so I did. I still need to interview a student about prom, but I'm trying to think of a student that I don't talk to much that had gone to prom before, instead of asking the juniors. It's going to be a little tough but I can manage.
