This blog

So I still haven't heard from anyone at the Akron Digital Media Center, but I plan to call again first thing Monday and  hopefully everything will work out with that. This blog really changed from what I thought it would be about. It took some twists and turns I didn't expect and at times it was hard to write because I didn't know what to do with it because I didn't really know what I was doing. To be a journalist or not to be a journalist? That was the question. Life after graduation is a VERY  scary thought and this detour from my plan shook my confidence. I can't say that I'm not still scared out of my mind, but I'm going to keep pursuing it because this is all I've wanted to do the last two years, and even if it doesn't work out exactly the way planned at least I will have gone for it, and who knows where that will lead. I entered college thinking if you had a plan and stuck to it you would know exactly what you wanted to do and where you would go. Now as I prepare to exit I realize life is not that simple. You have to just go with it and experience all you can and learn all you can  because you never know how things are going to unfold. While I am sure I will have a hard time constantly living by that philosophy over the next six months,  I will try this relaxed  approach to my impending graduation.

In the real world, the right thing never happens in the right place and the right time.  It is the job of journalists and historians to make it appear that it has.  ~Mark Twain
