"...and we would like to hire you."

*moment of silence as my brain catches up*

Excuse me as I squeeanddanceandme! They want me!

"We're very excited about how well you did on the copy editing test, and could you start tonight?"

You don't understand. This is the largest student-run and one of the most prestigious college newspapers in the country. Daily editions Monday-Friday and this is the dream of every journalism student on the University of Florida campus and they want me! Sundays and Mondays and I get a desk!

I'm Alligator staff!
Starting tonight!
At the office!
At eight!

*is intensely giddy*

Thank you!!!1! *g*

I actually just got into the office and am sitting at a random computer, replying to comments until the girl who's supposed to train me finishes what she'd doing. Eee! So exciting!

Thank you. It's really an outrageous opportunity and I can't wait to be part of the madness of a real newsroom.

Oh! Find me on AIM either later tonight (I'll be home around 12:30) or tomorrow - I found those Freddy pictures I told you about.

It's wild, yo. I just walked in on Friday, took the test, and they said they'd be in touch. Apparently, they had a lot of people come in, too, and a couple of the staff have dropped congratulations as well. It's really cool. *g*

Thank you! It's outrageous. I always hoped but never really expected, you know? Our university is huge, 47K and change students, so this is... well, it's huge. I'm beyond excited. Such fantastic experience, not just for future resumes but a newsroom! A real newsroom! And I've always had a thing about being the first to know the day's events and what better way, eh?

Congratulations, girl! As a news/editorial journalism major myself, I am so geeked for you -- use your AP Style Manual well now!

Hey can you get them to fund you on a cross-country journey following JC's tour? There's got to be some laudable journalistic goal in that story...

From: [identity profile] gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com
*hugs onto a fellow journalism dork* Aah, my stylebook. We became good, fast friends, and though it's strictly a working relationship, we keep things interesting.

Oh man, if only. I'd drop everything to do it in a heartbeat. Even just a few dates, get to hang out on the bus or backstage and do a full-length feature for Detours, our entertainment section. *makes a wish* That would be... wow. Yeah, in a very big way. Mostly, I'm just hoping to get some credentials and press passes for Challenge out of this - now that would be something.

Thank you!

It's a little heady, I'm sitting at my desk right now and still haven't quite made the connection that I'm part of this staff now. Maybe because it's been such a dream for so long - this really is the epitome of aspiration for any print journalism student, so to actually be here. It's cool, yeah. *g*

Thank you!

Congrats!!!

I totally understand how excited you are. If only my college newspaper would have been so grand. It was definitely not a dream job for my journalism peers... but it was fun being on the staff of the paper.

Enjoy.

From: [identity profile] gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com
Oh, I'm not under any delusions that this will be a grand, glamorous affair. It will be lots of fun because the newsroom is full of cool people, I like the job, and there's nothing like seeing your name in print. Check, check, and check. It'll be long hours and absolutely crap pay, but the experience, personal and professional, will be priceless.

Thank you!
