Monitoring Log

According to my schedule, I was meant to have completed writing my interview article, however, it is taking longer than expected due to the length of my interview (1 hour, 1 minute) which has taken a long while to fully transcribe.

Apart from the struggle of transcribing my interview, I have slightly been on schedule, and I have some free periods this afternoon in which I will continue with my article.

On Monday I began to transcribe my interview, which again flowed over to the Tuesday. With some hard work outside of lessons, I finally finished transcribing the interview on the third lesson of the week – Thursday. Outside of college I began to write my interview article, which I continued throughout the Friday lesson (now).

Unfortunately, due to the length of my interview, the whole process of writing this interview article has been a struggle, especially since the transcription was very time consuming. Now, I am finding it hard to extract all of the bets material from my interview article.

Fortunately, though, I haven’t had to use any contingency planning – as of yet anyway.

When writing my interview article, I decided to highlight the transcript to give references to different key parts that will help me structure my article. For example, the red refers to my interviewee’s American Football team, and the blue refers to his football team, the Spraire Lads Panthers.
