Well gosh…

This whole blog is now mine. How cool is that? I mean, the entire this was mine, but, officially, as of a few months ago, this blog now has nothing to do with class work. Isn’t that exciting? Well, it is to me. Anywho, new semester, new goals. I’m graduating this year, and I have […]

Oh wow….

https://prezi.com/sinjhpol7lxp/cinderella-remix/ There it is. It… It’s done. It’s not exactly what I envisioned, but I’m ok with that.

It was mostly about putting […]

Working…. Working…..

Anyway, this is supposed to […]

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! In honor of the holiday, I uploaded an actual selfie of me. Which is pretty out of character for me, so it’s fairly apt.

Beginning

I’m still in planning mode, so really I’m trying to figure out what I want to include in my articles. I was also considering actually making the story about the journalist’s career, including “I’m stuck on obituaries,” “I got my first hard news story,” and “Why do I have to cover the society page?” Perhaps […]
