JOURNAL TOPIC: [extra credit for first person each period to correctly name today's tune]
Every once in a while, often during moments of extreme stress, ordinary people do extraordinary things. What makes this possible? Sometimes, like when a young woman lifts a car off of a loved one, it's adrenaline or something known as "hysterical strength."  Sometimes it's just a sense of competitive greatness or determination that this time will really be different.  Can you apply this possibility over the next few weeks to achieve your academic goals for the semester?  How?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Interview/s & audience participation (REMINDER: The audience participation responsibilities outlined in class 11.19.  If you weren't there, please ask a friend. Whether or not you are interviewing today, and whether or not your period even has an interview scheduled, you have a job to do.  Do it.)
3. Schedule has been finalized, please check your period's post to verify the date of your interview

TODAY'S INTERVIEWS:
(Note: Interviews will begin promptly at 15 minutes after the bell begins the period.  This should give you ample time to settle in, write in your journal, and prepare your résumé, references, and cover letter.)
