I am a journalist...I guess.



Well, I know it has been a while, but my life has been a bit crazy recently.
Of course, I graduated May 7th, 2009...well...I WALKED. I have one more class and my practicum this summer and THEN I'm done.
I worked non-stop for the two weeks following my graduation. Making the HUGE mistake of not searching for another job while working. Because now I am out of work and looking for a new job in this AWESOME job market. Looks like my best bet so far is Victoria's Secret. Even though it is seriously taking them like 3 weeks to interview and do reference checks and whatnot. In the meantime, no one else is hiring or wanting my work.
Hopefully next week I can start doing something.

But what I'm SUPER excited about is my practicum with The Daily Beacon. The Beacon is UT's student-run newspaper. I am primarily a photojournalist, but it appears that I'll be doing a lot of news writing as well, seeing as they have like NO ONE to do it! So I figured I would step up and get a bit more experience under my stylish belt. I got my very first assignment and I've started working on it already. I even called the two sources just to get the scariest part out of the way. Too bad both failed to answer their phones. Gotta worry about the interviews another day.

Anyway. I'm tired of sitting at this computer. Here's a few pictures:

David's niece looking exceptionally cute playing in a puddle.


Cool shot of Bella. Looks professional, right?


Neat shot I took of my friend, Amanda, after her graduation.
