A Much Needed Blog Update

Happy Valentine's Day!

I want to apologize for the lack of recent posts on my blog. I know that I haven't been a very good blogger this past week. In my defense, though, school has not been in session since Fri., Feb. 6. Evidently, my "beat" centers itself around school clubs and organizations, which have not been holding new meetings due to the current break that Wall Township public schools are on. Therefore, due to the circumstances, it was really just out of my hands to write a new blog entry for the past few days. I think that I now am beginning to understand the difficulty that Marissa Block endured for her blog last year, which other students and Mr. Ketelaar described to me, since she had a "beat" similar to mine.

I did not forget about my blog and kept it mind while I was going about my activities on break. It was just difficult for me to access and use a computer to log into my blog account and compose a new entry because I've been busy during this break. Not to mention, is the fact that my family keeps interrupting me when I want to have some time to be alone and concentrate on my work.

Anyway, I went to another Teen Action Group (TAG) meeting on Sun., Feb. 8. I already have written an article on TAG, so I thought it would be too soon to write another article on the organization. I also went to Montclair State University on Wed., Feb. 11, to visit a friend for a few days. I thought about writing an article comparing and contrasting the extracurricular activities of both Wall High School and Montclair State University, but that plan never quite came through. Basically, Montclair State University boasts more activities than Wall High School could ever muster is all I can say for now, being that it is much larger in size than our high school. My experience at Montclair State University was quite fun and enjoyable.

  1. Fair enough, Evan, but the test of a good reporter is getting something out of a beat even when there's not much going on. Keep at it.

  2. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind during Spring Break.
