Last Day at Northpoint

Yesterday, Tuesday, was the last day that Andrew and I spent at Northpoint. On Monday at the end of our uneventful day, Ed had told us that on Tuesday we would go out with a bang. Unfortunately, Ed was not there when we arrived at 9:30, which wasn’t totally uncommon. Then we checked to see in Jan, the next person in charge, was there but she wasn’t present either. Not knowing what to do Andrew and I walked down to the lunch room and started our editing process. We began thinking of rough outline type ideas for the video. Soon enough we put together a skeleton for the video and started editing. During this process we would periodically go check if Ed was there yet. But to our dismay he didn’t show up. Fortuitously, we caught Jan in the hallway who told us to go help out with lunch again. Once again though there was nothing to help out with in the kitchen. Since Ed wasn’t there we didn’t have any interviews set up for the lunch period either. After lunch we caught up with Jan again who had us making more copies. The printer had actually been serviced that morning so it was up and running again. We successfully printed out and distributed the rest of the packets. In the midst of printing, we spotted Ed. He looked like he was in a hurry and told us that he was on the way to a meeting. He also apologized for not being able to be there. We spoke with Jan after that, and she told us that we were done for the day and could leave. All in all it wasn’t too slow of a day, minus the fact that we didn’t get any interviews. Inadvertently, this caused Andrew and I to get some necessary editing done which is good since we hadn’t thought too much into it yet. Next we are off to West Side Catholic Center to interview folks there with Andrew’s mentor from the intensive, Angela.
