let's try this again.
I'm taking an online journalism class here at Mizzou, and we have been talking about starting up blogs that have to do with Citizen Journalism.
I'm not one for news. I'm a magazine writing/reading type of girl. I write articles about relationships, entertainment, books, movies, and the like. So that is what I will continue to do. Also, I've really been meaning to get back into this blog. I write a few things on MySpace every once in awhile, but I hate when I have to hold back because the fear of what my friends may think about my views on certain things is overwhelming. No one really knows about this blog...at least I don't think so. Here's hoping, right?
My mind hasn't been in school lately. Many things have been happening in my life in St. Louis. My grandmother has been very sick lately, and died during my Spring Break. It was very surreal for me, since it was almost exactly one year after my grandfather, her husband, died. The family took it really hard, as did I. My mind wanders daily.
It also wanders to my sick aunt who had a major stroke last week. She has been in and out of surgery for the past week, and it's been difficult concentrating on stories that I am writing for my Intermediate Writing class. Writing about weight loss, dieting, and forbidden relationships just doesn't hold the same priority that my family does right now. It's helpful to know that the summer is only about a month away. I will have time to go home and be with my family before my summer classes start.
I know it's difficult for all of us college students to find the right balance between home and school. Finding time, especially when you need to be home, is always difficult for me. Thank God I attend school only two hours away from home. It's comforting to know that if something happens, God forbid, I can make it home.
I will try a post a day, although with my schedule now and the catching up that has to be done, I see it being a once a week type of thing.
Have a great week, fellow bloggers.
