“There is no stupid question in journalism.” My supervisor Chris said to me today. There isn’t any time for me to get used to the environment and to the people. I have to adapt myself to the working status and prove that I am a qualified reporter.

Always find what to do instead of waiting for someone to tell you what to do. Everybody is busy doing their own tasks, you have to find your job. Doing some researches or finding some relevant materials are all good choices.

Speak louder with confidence. But that comes from being well-prepared. My colleagues are probably the nicest people in the world. They all love their jobs and treat me with patience. It’s truly being a pleasure working with them.

I have listed several artists I would like to interview today. I am planning to go down to the Artisans’ Guild Gallery tomorrow to find out what stories are lying there.

Looking back on Day 1, I watched how Scott, my boss, arrange the assignments and decide on advertising strategies. It’s hard to be a leader in a team. I have a lot to learn.

So, wish me luck then!
