I just finished editing a story for my school's television station/public access channel, and it made me wonder...how is the current economic situation affecting all of you? It's really hard to understand some of the mumbo jumbo being spewed by the politicians and economists, although there are a few (more understandable) alternatives...thanks, Hank and John. (I'm also partial to this video of Hank's, but that's a whole different blog post waiting to happen.) But what is a far cry easier to grasp is the jobs being lost and the people being put out on the street, not to mention the budget cuts being made in school districts across the country. Regardless of your individual situation, as girls with interests spanning from the performing arts to math and science to sports and everything in between, we're all likely to see a change in what is available to us over the next few years.

So, I'm curious. What changes have you seen personally, in your life and those of people around you? What do you anticipate?
