Part XVII: A regular day... which is still pretty awesome

This morning came quickly. After sea kayaking yesterday I was exhausted. Seriously exhausted. Like watching Dawson's Creek in PJ's with wet hair tired. So as I came into the office this morning I was kind of in a daze. Threw my co-workers a quiet, 'Bonjour,' threw all of yesterday's clips onto the computer and re-charged the battery and opened my e-mail. Went from about 0-60 in 10 seconds because Craig Colby had sent me the feedback on my footage. I eagerly jumped down the list of available positions within Parks Canada (why do they send me those things?) to the title of, "Kelly: Feedback."

Craig is one of our mentors for Canada's Greatest Summer Job. He works for Oasis HD, a nature channel based in Toronto. Pretty much he's the guide in terms of content. So when I opened my e-mail today I was really happy to get some guidance. Craig told me that I need to connect with my first story. He referenced another student and what they did right and how I can improve mine. Trouble is, I'm not sure what connection I have to the fjord. I've never been here before, I don't have any history with fjords or whales or Saguenay. I'm trying to figure out how to make the story mine. The story only Kelly Greig could do.

The rest of the day was spent back in the stupor because I needed to log tape.

Another thing that I've been thinking about: baby animals. Everyone loves baby animals. They appear in commercials, the news as kickers and in nature shows. It makes everyone go 'awwwwww!'. Have you seen a baby beluga?

Am I the only one who thinks it looks weird? I mean it's like a gray pogo, and I love pogos but don't like the looks of this guy. Even harder, they live in water. It is soooo hard to get good beluga footage.
