The university announced record enrollment, which is now an annual announcement. There are now 5,206 students 46 states and 32 other countries. Also, the new yearbooks, documenting last year, were released on campus today. I looked through one and noted all of the people I knew and all of the now departed seniors I miss.
But there’s always new people to meet, new things to try, new toys to explore. Today we replaced our old fleet of Panasonic DVXs with a fleet of Panasonic HC-X1000 4Ks. They look sharp. And small.
Oh the fun we’re going to have with those. All of our students shoot everything in high definition and they do good work with them. And so it was exciting to see some of them come up and help unpack these today. Christmas in September! They’re looking forward to new equipment too. And why wouldn’t they be? They’ve been using the old cameras for three whole years. That deal means every student gets to work with brand new gear at least once in their time on campus.
Our students get a pretty good arrangement, as you can see.
They’re also shooting videos on their phones, of course. Here’s one our features editor has been working on.
After the unpacking party I ran back to my office to record a podcast, it should be live later this week. It is a happy, varied sort of work experience that I have on a daily basis. I like that.
I ran by these windows a few times this evening:
Today it was a 2,500 yard swim and a four-mile run. It didn’t even feel particularly hard, which is probably a sign of something unfortunate. Swim-run bricks are easy and deceptive.
Did you see the beginning of Catember? We’ll have a new photo of Allie each day throughout the month. Be sure to check in often.
