Hey Bloggers, I had a lot going on in the last couple of days. Craziness, but in my haste I forgot to tell you about how golfing went. We (four of us girls) went to the Grand View Golf Course (which looks a little jank right now, because they’re renovating). It costs us 22 dollars to walk nine holes and rent clubs. Be sure to bring your own balls, otherwise those cost a dollar a piece used or 1.50 for new ones.
But on to other business. If you haven’t heard, there’s a home Drake Football game this weekend. I love watching football and the Drake Stadium is great. I only wish that more students would go the games, because then it would be more fun. The stands are hardly ever full and it’s a little depressing to sit in them with so much space around you. And I know everyone says that the football team is horrible, but we’re actually quite good. So don’t listen to them.
I am actually a little nervous about the game, because I have just been assigned to cover the football games for the Drake newspaper, The Times-Delphic. Although I’ve written for other campus publications, I’ve never covered a sport’s story…so wish me luck! And I hope to see all of you on Saturday at the game!
Go Bulldogs! (Lame and cheesy sign-off, I know. Sue me.)
So, looks like you’re taking this journalism thing to a whole new level! SPORTS! Anxious to see your article!
I’m just saying from experience covering my first sporting event — it helps using phrases such as ‘came off the bench strong’; ‘outscored the opposition’; ‘defensive maneuvers’; ‘game-winning touchdown’; ‘sacked in the final minutes’; ‘scrambling out of the pocket’; ‘snagging a pass in the endzone’; etc., etc.
I KNOW YOU’LL BE GREAT 🙂
