I started a personal project.

I am trying to talk to journalists and other media types about their time reporting in Vancity.

It was an idea that Mike Eckford sparked when we used to get Terry Bell to read bed time stories on the radio.

I finished the first one and its with George Garrett.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

And, I cannot emphasize this enough, I am in a city *3000 km from Toronto*

“It’s weird to be gone for so long and then be back. I couldn’t ask teachers any questions, it was hard to study, ” said Sable (Gr. 12)

“I missed a few of my teachers. I’m excited to be back. I have so many questions to ask about all the school work I tried to get done but I kinda fell behind on.”

Catherine Garrett @cathgarrett.bsky.social · 6d

“It’s a little scary being back, especially since we missed so much,“ said Quinn (Gr. 11)

“I’ll probably try to study more and lock in a little more, and put more effort into it than I would have had to before"
