Daily post synthesis

OLD: For the past two weeks,i've been working on putting the names,addresses and contacts(phone number,email,website)of the John Jay Fellowship applicants into Microsoft Excel.It was a long list, and i was even impressed that i finally got it done.

OLD: Also,i've been working with different newspapers.I made researches about the articles we wanted to include in our weelky online publication("Voices That Must Be Heard"),and even typed some of them directly from the newspapers.I knew how to manage my time to get both work done.Since i didn't have to work with "Excel" everyday,i mostly focused on doing more research and typing the articles.Once i finished with that,i went back to working with the applicants list again...

NEW: We assisted an event called the "John Jay Fellowship Awards' Announcement" which was sponsored by the Manhattan Borough President. The Awardees came from different backgrounds and were mostly college students who have experienced immigration issues. This was my first time assisting this event and it always happens every once a while.

NEW: I helped edit the articles that were already typed. Normally, it was the editor's job to do it, but since i didn't have anything else to do that day, she(Juana) asked me to help her. We printed those articles from our document and edited them with pencils.Then, my job was also to make the changes immidiately from the computer.Once i was done with it, i had to print the final work and hand it to her.
