I have an amazing opportunity this semester to interview people. I am signed up for a class called I-Comm and with it I have the chance to be a reporter for the on campus news station. At the beginning of the semester I was assigned the Science Beat.
Joy.
Not only am I terrible at science but I have the job of finding something interesting to talk about it within the realm of the campus and my resources.
Week 1: I did a story about the fitness classes. Ok, health sciences is not technically under my jurisdiction but I made it work
Week 2: Planetarium. On campus there is a planetarium and it is pretty fantastic.
Week 3: Chemistry Society. I have some pretty great footage of a balloon blowing up.
Week 4: This is this week. It is about the aquarium.
You see, over the summer break, something happened and all the fish died. It was actually a very big tragedy as it was around 2 dozen fish found dead one morning when the person to check on them the night before knew they were ok.
I interviewed a man who loves fish.
It may seem ridiculous but I envy him. He has found his passion and is living that. He hopes to be a marine biologist.
I want that.
Not a fish, not a marine biologist, but a passion. Something I can grab on to and never ever let go. I want that constant, my north star.
But I guess until that day comes, I will keep wishing on those falling starts until one decides not to fall.
