It really is horribly depressing to think that we all (as in the J694 class) will not be together anymore. Out of my four years in college I cannot think of a single class that felt like its own little family.
I'm not an emotional or blatantly touching person, but I will admit that we have a bond that has developed both in and out of the classroom. I'll definitely miss having class with our little "newsroom family" but, I know we shall continue with our "TV.KU.EDU Thursday Night Out" and our random excursions.
I'm pretty sure you get the picture that we're friends outside of the classroom and it probably seems like nothing will change, but that's not the case. Good ‘ole Sam and Brad will be graduating, leaving the rest of us two family members short.
Sam – I'm not sure you know this, but I learn new words from you every class. Your speeches, rants, whatever you want to call them, are sometimes confusing and sometimes insightful but, I learn new words.
Brad – Please laugh for me one more time before you go. Now, if you haven't seen Brad in a fit of laughter, you should probably add that to your "Before I Die To-Do List".
To those who will be sticking around for another lovely semester: I look forward to our crazy nights, dinner dates (that's you Peteritas) and random group dates (whether those be hamburger night at Cochran's or dinner at Grandma Quante's).
Thanks everyone, it's been fun. I give you all my best.
One more thing, perhaps we should arrange a special reunion so that when we're all married and old with kids, or just old, we can reminisce about the good old days of KUJH TV. Who's in?
I'm going to ask Bryan to dress the visual up a bit so we don't have a black screen. Nice slide show and vlog.
