I woke up and thought it was going to be a good day. I was thinking one more day until spring break. That is one more day until I am able to see my family whom I miss dearly and one day until me and my boyfriend go to Miami.
Well those happy thoughts got lost after I checked my e-mail.
As a class assignment, I was asked to pitch a story idea to my school's newspaper. They loved the idea. I was waiting for the "go-ahead" to do the story, but come to find out, they had given the story to someone else because they had forgotten my name.
After that confusion and mix up, I collaborated with a peer to work on the story. She had interviewed a few professors, then I interviewed a few professors and then I wrote the story. Monday afternoon I sent the story in. (Keep in mind that the new issue comes out every Thursday)
It is now Thursday and I just received an e-mail from one of the staff saying that she wrote the story and just gave me credit within the story. I was highly disappointed. I guess that it is just business. I doubt my professor will count this as getting published.
So now I have to scramble for another idea so that I can get published by the end of this month. Disappointment and stress are the stories of my life :(
