Here it is again, me attempting to start a blog and never going through with it. This time, I actually have to for a number of reasons. Firstly, to be any kind of journalist these days you need two things: clips and stories to show off and knowledge of the internet. I can Google all I want, but until I learn what really goes on behind the scenes of this, I'll never get a job in my field. Second, as you all know my summer job is nonexistent. Not for lack of trying, but because my resume, apparently sucks. Anyways... So if I want to do anything productive this vacation, I'm going to update this blog and have something to show for myself come JRN 306.

You don't have to read this, obviously. Nothing too personal is going to come up in here...just widespread and random topics. So as I said, I am going into journalism. Not writing for newspapers, not as an anchor...but as a what exactly I'm not sure. So I figure as much practice in the field I can get is more of a good thing than not. Just like any other normal girl, I watch Sex and the City and want to be Carrie Bradshaw and have the dream journalism jobs that you see in movies. Hopefully, I can get there someday. For now, its this blog. Humor me. (Oh, I'm also going to try to remember to type in AP style, the standard for journalism. I'm not the best at it...but then again it's not like anyone reading this will know it any better.)

I spent almost 20 minutes trying to think of a title for this damn thing. I don't even like the one I came up with, I just typed something in the box to get started with this. For some reason the title is really important to me, and before I said that none of you would have probably noticed. Now, you are looking at it and thinking "how ridiculous." And I am going really off of track here...

Not all true actually, because I never assigned a track to be followed. This will happen a lot in here I feel, because I'm not planning on this being an organized blog. Just practice.

I'm not sure how everything comes out when I type it either. This may sound weird, but during the day I think of things I could type and write down that make complete and perfect sense. But when it actually comes down to it, everything comes out odd and wrong. These are the areas I really need to work on I suppose.

I had a lot of conversations with different people today that could come as appropriate topics for tonight's entry. But for now, I think I'll just leave it as an introduction. Get started tomorrow.

Goodnight
