I went to school with Donna yesterday for her afternoon class because she had to get to the radio studio and we weren't going to have time to go home. After Donna got off the radio at 7pm, we had to go back to the school so she could clean up and bring some more things home. I washed off all the desks so that saved her a little time. We were both dragging by the time we got home.
I am not used to bending over low desks. My back could feel it. But I think Donna was twice as tired as I was.
It was very interesting seeing the station. I met the owners, the receptionist and some others. The station is so neat and clean. I took some pictures of Donna while she was talking on the air. I got to sit in the sound booth with her. You would think she would have time to do things while the songs are playing but she is busy the whole time. She writes down the songs as they are playing and takes bites of her dinner while the songs are playing and has to have the announcement ready that she is going to make and other small jobs. The radio station has to announce its call letters every half hour. When you hear the voice of a man on the radio, it is just a button Donna pushes that makes the announcement. She either has to make the announcement or push the button. We were there three hours but I was surprised how fast it went. The owner wants Donna to volunteer more hours this summer if she can. Anyway, even if we were both tired last night, it was a fun day.
