Journos in SD

I haven't done a personal post in a while! It's not that I don't like to anymore, it's just that there have been lots of things coming up that I've been writing! I've especially been doing many more review posts lately, which isn't always a bad thing.

So if you didn't know already, I am the Living Section Editor for my university newspaper, the Vanguard Voice. If you'd like to see some of my work, click here.

Every year, the Associate Collegiate Press (ACP) holds multiple conventions, and on the west coast each year, there is a national journalism convention. Last year (my first year), it was in San Francisco, and this year it was in San Diego, about two hours from where I live. 

We stayed at the Catamaran Resort, which is a Hawaii-themed type of resort. I don't have very many pictures of it, but I must say that it was pretty nice and fancy if you ask me.

After the worst of the rain! It still looks beautiful. 

The only problem was the rain. There was a rain storm here in Southern California over the weekend, so everyone was panicking as if they were about to die. I, personally, love the rain, but I definitely underestimated the power of the storm this weekend, so I came unprepared as far as extra clothes went. I only had just enough for the three days. The hotel was outdoors so to get to our hotel room and get our clothes from the cars, we had to run through a few puddles in the pouring rain, and everyone around me was screaming, which probably didn't help much.

Most of what I learned at the conference were things I learned last year in San Fran, but I learned a lot about the importance of utilizing your site for mobile and other things about photography. All in all, there were some pretty good sessions.
