Well, it occurred to me recently that I haven't updated this blog since school began. If anyone's still out there...
My life recently has been about what you'd expect out of a senior in college who isn't necessarily sure what to do next and isn't necessarily ready to be done with school... well, except for the homework and studying. I can tell you, however, that life's been good. Complicated, stressful, occasionally annoying, yes, but good.
Recently (since Christmas break began a couple of weeks ago) I've been doing some work for the newspaper that I worked with a little last summer. I covered a girls high school basketball tournament, and just absolutely loved it. Now I know that small-town high-school sportswriters are not exceptionally high on the totem pole or even well-respected within the field of journalism. But, if you know me at all, you know that while I am pretty self-motivated, my "status" in life and/or vocation is not nearly as important to me as happiness and loving what I'm doing.
What's the point/conclusion of that whole paragraph? Not sure. I've enjoyed bits and pieces of everything I've done in journalism, but since I really like high school sports (for several reasons and concepts) and small-town life in general, I guess it would make since that I'd really enjoy this. Now, the next step is to find somebody who will actually pay me to do that for a living, haha.
It also just occurred to me that I started this blog almost a year ago... when I was just getting started in D.C. 2009 was a heck of a year, and, like most units of time, seemed both incredibly short and interminable at different points in time. But, I think I can say 2009 has been one of my top few most important years to date, in terms of influencing/shaping my life.
I'm not typically the kind of person who really voraciously (?) celebrates holidays -- I think we should celebrate Christ's birth all 365 days a year, not just Christmas; same with Easter, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Veteran's Day, etc., etc. And I don't typically do New Year's Resolutions -- at least not specific ones, more general things like to read more, get/stay healthier, be a better student, and so on.
Well, if anyone actually saw this, you're more or less caught up on my life over the past five months or so. At least, the important stuff. If you're interested in specifics, ask!
And happy new year! May 2010 be the best one yet!
P.S. I'm going to pronounce it "two thousand ten," not "twenty ten." I think it just sounds better. My personal opinion. Anyone else?
