Transcribing


Yesterday I began transcribing the first interview. I had never completely transcribed an interview before. One hour of speaking had turned into twenty eight pages, double spaced, of writing. It was hard and took many hours. The hardest part was knowing where to put commas and periods. I have enough trouble as it is with grammar.
There is a really nice south swell right now and I have been able to get some surfing in with my dad. It has been a good way of escaping the monotony of transcribing. I am proud of myself for getting it done though. Here is the link if you are curious about how it went. It was really fun and Mike had some beautiful things to say about culture and the future of Hawaii and Kaho'olawe.
