I have very little editing experience. That one sentence alone pretty much wraps up how I feel about editing. I've always felt like my work needs to be edited by others, not me editing other people's work. I feel like this class will give me the opportunity to learn editing skills and that is something I desparately need.
I am looking forward to the opportunity of learning how to properly edit as well. I want to know what all the symbols mean and I want to be confident that the work I am producing is properly edited as well.

Jim Furyk DQ'd for Oversleeping?
There are many funny rules in sports. In football, you can't call two timeouts in a row, or else it is a 15 yard penalty. In soccer, you can't re-enter the game once you have been substituted by another player. In golf, if you oversleep, you are disqualified.
Jim Furyk found out about that last rule the hard way when he overslept for the pro-am portion of the Barclays, which disqualified him for the actual tournament, the first of the Fed-Ex Cup playoff events. He ended up being about ten minutes late, but that was enough according to the rules. Is this a fair punishment that fits the crime?
I feel like as a professional, you have a professional responsibility to look the part. Arriving sleepy eyed and late to a golf tournament is not professional behavior. Although Furyk could lose out on a lot due to his mistake, it is an actual rule and I'm sure he knew of the rule previously. Let's just hope he gets a new alarm clock before the next tournament.
