I know I should have posted this last week, but I’ve always found it better to make sure I have a clear idea of what I want to say before I speak, or in this case, write something that will be posted in cyberspace for God knows how long. When I arrived in Lexington, Virginia, I was amazed at the beauty of the landscaping and the homey, small-town feel of the area. Coming from Fresno, California, it was nice to see another part of the country where friendliness, honesty, and education appear to be of paramount importance. I must admit being told I would be surrounded by thirty-four strangers of varying levels of knowledge in journalism, I was a little apprehensive. Yet, I think these two weeks have been amazing. I have learned more than I ever thought there was to know about newspaper, shared many laughs, and made some friendships I know won’t end when we say goodbye tomorrow.
