lately - Yes, it's been a while

So over the last three days there was a power reporting conference. Then I wrote my investment exam. I wish I knew covariance of share with respect to market over variance of market "equalled" beta. I just didn't remember it.

Power Reporting was quite interesting. I learned a fair bit about how to conduct effective investigative research. Unfortunately, I don't think the conference did much for me in terms of getting a job or even basic networking; it seems the older people are willing to give advice, and the younger ones are just plain arrogant. I'm not sure what they're arrogant about.

Still, I was inspired by Raphael Rowe's story. He was jailed but later released as his punishment was a miscarriage of justice.

I might do journalistic work in this field. "Justice" is an entity that I hold very dear to myself. I think if journalism helps just one person; that's enough. However, I won't let anyone story overcome my life. I might be arrogant to say that one will anyway and I will remember writing this post, where I said that one wouldn't.

There were also some business journalism seminars. They were O.K.. I learned that my BCom degree should help in business journalism in a big way. Quite a bit of the stuff discussed was hence simple to me, but I tried to get a few "good" questions across, so I could learn answers I have wanted to know for a while.

I await my Investment 2 exam result after writing the exam today. It was a rough exam.

After the exam, I had a meeting with my team for the Jukskei project to discuss which stories were definitely going onto the website.

Tomorrow, I am going to try to edit at least one of the stories out of my litter trap footage. It will be how the trap works because I believe this is the harder piece to edit than the "Meet Edmund- the person who looks after the trap" piece.

This is mostly because when he described how the machine worked, Edmund pointed at things. I filmed Edmund pointing and then afterward, I tried to film that at which he was pointing.

I hope I can work out what he pointed at when!

Tomorrow, I am going t
