Description "Then there is the report day. You start at 8am, and everything needs to be done at 5pm. You have to find an event. Yet this event has to be "yours" : if another student says - before you - "I want to work on that subject", you're fucked. Then you have to choose an angle, because you can't just "promote" the event, you have to process in a certain way.

After that, you pick up the phone in order to try to get any contact, anyone related to this subject. At that point, you already entered the Time Attack mode, like in Mario Kart. But instead of the ghost of Bowser, it's the ghost of the perfect journalist, that motherfucking guy who leave the university after 10 minutes to get this precise information at this precise time and this precise place using this precise subway line to get there.
Sometimes you spend 1 hour trying to get someone to interview, and while you leave the university you keep phoning other persons.
You need to come back with something, otherwise you are just fucked. So when there is an unexpected event, there's no Snow White birds anymore, just an armageddon. Imagine interviewin someone for 10 minutes, and right after you shut down your big and OBVIOUS RADIO mic, the guy told you "wait, I don't want you to use what I just said, ok ?" you just want grab that Nail-shooter from Quake, or a flamethrower. " Again a direct quote from him. his second commission. I honestly could never have said or described it better than the words he used. this is the other side of reporting. it's frustrating, stressful. GUH it's insane.

Commissioned by again. another full ink :> thanks. so sorry for it being so late ><;;;; I feel so bad X<

THIIIIIIS is why. I'm not going into journalism anymore. lol As well as many other reasons. Like. Just not caring about current events and contacting people and going places and hahhahahah yeah. XD But for as short as my five weeks working for the college news paper was, the first part up there? Yeah, can totally see that. hahah only for me it would be more like 'oh, please don't say this idea, because, it's the only one I have.. ><;; lol


And hahah loooove the time attack metaphor.

This is very interesting perspective, the picture does well in projecting emotions associated with the job.

Looks fantastic as always!
