recently, pauline had an opportunity to be featured in a magazine with a photoshoot and everything. it was so cool and exciting, because it’s so rare that someone you know ends up in the press let alone have an article done on them.
when i had the fortunate opportunity to get interviewed by the record during symposium day, it was a really exciting experience and i probably muddled out what i wanted to say because i was nervous. unfortunately i didn’t make it into the paper but the reporter promised me that she would do a follow up about dq since it was something interesting that students at UW are doing.
this past tuesday was finally the day where we had our interview. i wasn’t nearly as nervous as i thought i should have been, and kind of went to it unprepared. but it went alright. this was something that i’m passionate about and know a lot about, so it wasn’t that difficult to say what i wanted. we talked about a lot of stuff: what sort of people we are, our upbringing and how it (may) effect everything, d itself and finally dq. all in all, it took two hours but i wasn’t tired at all after that time. we even had a break where the photography arranged some furniture around and took our mugshots.
it was a fun experience and i look forward to seeing how all the notes the reporter made will end up being compressed into a short article! the reporter said that she wasn’t sure when the article would go out but hopefully i will be in town to actually pick up a copy.
