The big scary meeting actually was scary. (not big though) It was as intimidating as applying for Concordia University's journalism program. I had to describe my background and experiences. I ended up talking a lot about my fascination with ethnic relations, and we discussed my skills and such. I think the woman I was meeting with liked me, which was good. However, she did tell me that I need to spend more time listening to CBC radio, and become more familiar with local issues, so that I can pitch and know where to direct my ideas. I'm to contact her in a month or two, and I may be eligible for a three day course on the ins and outs of working in radio. I guess it was a fruitful meeting, but to be honest, my stomach is completely in a knot. I didn't realize how nervous I actually was until afterward.

Prior to my interview, I began reading Pierre Berton's literary memoir, "The Joy of Writing." It is brilliant. I am pleased to note that Pierre Berton has messy handwriting.

Even though it was scary, it sounds like you got some very good feedback and advice out of it. Good for you for going through with it!

Also, we watched A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies this weekend. If you haven't see it, I think you'd really enjoy it. And it'd be a good supplement to the Oscar Project.
