big story interviews

i definitely learned a little bit about stirring up some drama with my big story...which i really didn't predict! i don't normally like to make a scene or upset people, but i actually had fun doing so with this story. at first, it sort of upset me, especially when i went to interview professor barker-plummer and she refused to talk to me rudely saying my story was not appropriate and that my survey was not data. it sort of caught me of guard, i didn't know what to say to that. luckily, all of the other teachers were extremely nice and i didn't run into any other problems. i learned so much though, as most of them had some criticism for the way in which i was doing my story...atleast those teachers in the media studies dept. doing this story really showed me how much you can really learn by just sitting down and talking to people. i spent extra time just talking with professor kidd about numerous different issues that didn't even pertain to my story, what she had to say was just really interesting. i guess what i mainly took from the interviewing experience is that sometimes your going to have people that don't want to talk to you, and that's okay...you just have to suck it up and find someone better to talk to, which is exactly what i did.
