Woah… Can you believe that we’re almost done? Unfortunately, time marches on without caring about anyone’s feelings. But that doesn’t matter, we’re here to reflect on the second week! All in all, my second week here at AYA felt manageable. It felt like I got used to the schedule. It makes taking two trains here feel …
This week at AYA can be described in one word: professional. Now, I’m not saying we are creating top-of-the-notch projects, but the settings are surely making me feel like we are.

Another week has passed and I feel that I’ve become acclimated to this new environment. This week was full of pleasant surprises and engaging activities that I really enjoyed. We opened the week with an introduction to podcast/radio. The different components of podcast intrigued me. I learned different things such as a timeline of its …
This week was awesome sauce. The highlight of this week was going into the popular Wallis Annenberg Building (ANN) and doing some work and projects in it. The first time we went into the building was to record for a podcast that connects to our Vox Pop. Where the recording was small and didn’t have …
