I Don't Know If You've Heard? The Pope Is Coming.

Today was ALL about the Pope. I got into work at 10 and everyone was sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for the plane to touch down so that we could be the first report that the Pope was in the UK. There were four different television stations on in the office and everyone was glued to the coverage to see when the plane touched down. The editor had the press release already written up and was waiting with her finger poised about the send key for the second the Pope was officially here.

So exciting!

I got my itinerary for the weekend today. On Saturday I am going to mass at West Minster Cathedral ( oh man) and then off to a "Protest the Pope" march and rally. It should be a very interesting day!

We had a meeting with the executive editor today. We discussed strategies to expand our coverage to Eastern Europe and what not. So much of what she was talking about I recognized from things that I had learned in class, which was so exciting.

I am learning so much here :)

Cheerio!
