 SYRACUSE LOG: On The Road 2 College Knowledge, NY. 1pm. Tuesday, November, 6th, 2001 -- Seat belts fastened, highway road ahead and about an hour or so to go, HarlemLive staff members are well on their way to visit New House School of Communications, one of the most highly accredited communication schools in the country. A school of Syracuse University, Newhouse exists at about a good 4-5 hour ride from your round-the-way HarlemLive office in NYC. As a result, a group of HarlemLive staffers have all found themselves rubbing their eyes at wee hours of this Tuesday morning, comitting themselves to meeting down at HarlemLive by 7:30am on a morning where the majority of them weren't even required to be in school [Election Day].
So here we are, on the road to Syracuse University. Apparently, there just happened to be about four road accidents this morning, so finding ways around those accidents, dealing with newly futilized directions, along with having to come up with new routes to our Syracuse U. destination placed us back in time a little. I must say, it's been a cross between a hilarious roadtrip movie and a "oh no..what ELSE can go wrong" ride, thus far. Coincidentally unnerving, every other exit or route has been either closed or cut off short as we've continued to find solutions to every obstacle placed before us. Mind you, time is winding down as our original arrival time was set for 12pm. It's 1pm now. That's right. It's 1pm right now. So yeah, we COULD be stressed...we COULD be upset...but ironically enough, we've been laughing and smiling for a large portion of this trip. We've been enjoying each other's humor and company, and it's odd really... how something as simple as a "stupid joke" can keep your nerves in tact.
Anyway, anticipations for the trip to Syracuse are yet to be fulfilled or realized. We're still on the road...updates to come later on tonight.
On The Roaaaaaad Again... 9pm. Tuesday Night -- Back 2 The City. Syracuse was great! This day has been enjoyable; despite whatever roadtrip difficulties we've been forced to endure on our way here, it was all worth it. Any travel or time problem on the way to Syracuse seems so miniscule and insignificant now...we've been shown around the Newhouse School of Communications, and I'll have to admit, I'm kinda impressed. "Classrooms" at Syracuse are largely set up as professional studios, giving their students a level of familiarity and mastery with the very equipment and environment that they wil inevitably be submerged into as soon as they find themselves in the professional communications workplace. The entire concept of taking the iniative towards grabbing what you want out of life, or "thinking out of the box" comes across as an innate implemenation into the S.I. Newhouse School of Communications.
