I haven't written about it before, but at school, I'm both the copy editor and the online editor for our newspaper, The Gavilan Press. While I love writing for the paper -- and I did, both this semester and last -- I really enjoyed learning the behind-the-scenes stuff that went into putting the paper online. I didn't have time to take the class with all the other students, so I took it as independent studies and spent a fair few of my Fridays working with our adviser, Jan Janes, on getting the brand-new website up and running. A lot of this involves me being all techie and detail-oriented, which I personally love and which suits me just perfectly.
The article that I'm linking now was written by Allie Sordello, one of my classmates this semester, and was originally printed on Monday, February 27, 2012 in Spring Volume 49, Issue 5 of The Gavilan Press.
It technically went live just this month, but since we're scheduling articles to appear a week after they are published as newspaper, it says that it went up on March 5th, instead.
The article covers a little of the behind-the-scenes work for Cabaret. The picture is actually of the cast (I'm in the red) and our director, Maria Candelaria-Bagula (front and center, facing us) working on our final number for the show: Seasons of Love, from RENT. I really loved this number because (1) Dymond and I suggested it, and (2) I got the high riffing solo at the end, which involves hitting a C#6. It was awesome. ^_^
