Today I made a few quick, minor changes to the NYT Blogger story, relayed some of what is going on for me during the meeting, and started working on a story about hydroelectric energy storage, potentially for the homepage. I'm waiting to hear back from Mike Montano and the Actuary Club, so I picked up a second story about outdoor activities offered through UMD. I am also interested in the study abroad story, so I may pick that one up after I finish the hydroelectric one if nobody else wants it.
