Radio

Random Fact: "There are different words used for different foods. For example, scones=biscuits, biscuits=cookies, crisps=chips, and chips=fries. Though, sometimes they will use the term fries."

Today I went to class on limited sleep and found out some really sad news: for me to be a radio personality, this means I can not drink soda or chocolate. My professor decided to give us a run-through with some of the radio equipment and decided to split us into 3 groups to test it.


We were all totally new to radio, but the professor said that my group sounded like professionals (odd for a first time) and at first I thought my voice would sound stupid. However, after I finished my announcement, I turned to my group and a couple of people said, "Why is it that Americans sound a lot better over the radio than the British?"

I guess it is because the accent is different maybe? I'm not sure, but I do have a lot of fun in that class even though it lasts from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. on Fridays. I don't know what I want to do once I graduate, but I am really considering a career in radio.

Tomorrow, I am off to Durham with a group of British and international students. We will finally get the chance to see the cathedral and the castle hopefully. On Saturdays, they allow people to walk within the castle.
