I spent five weeks traveling Europe this summer. A friend and I went online, got a train pass for four countries, got a plane ticket, and just went. Each weekend was spent with his aunt and uncle in Switzerland. Our first day there, we spent resting to ease out of the jet lag phase. I rested by drinking sparkling water, eating my Twizzlers, reading, and writing...all the while sitting in a hammock in the most beautiful backyard I've seen in quite some time.School is crazy this semester. I've been so busy and haven't had any time to sit down and enjoy a book, a drink, and just write my heart out. Sadly enough, the workload will not ease up until Fall semester ends.
I miss the simple summer days.
On the upside of things, I'm finally taking steps in becoming a real reporter. My media writing class is so tough, but we've been assigned our first ever self-chosen stories. The only parameter given was that the story had to be Environmental, Health, or Science. From there on the reporting, interviewing, writing, editing, and finding somewhere to publish the story is up to us.
Terrifying? Yes. This is real stuff here-for a class, yes- but we are seeking official interviews, which means important people in our topic area. Interviewing them one on one? Oi Vey.
Anyways I'm going to be trying to get the blog going again, but I want to clean it up some. I can't seem to get my layout to go away, and I will be focusing on photography more.
That's all :)
Stay tuned for links to my news blog!
