First Time :)

So this is my first time blogging. I'm kind of nervous, but here goes nothing. I am a sophomore English major at St. Joe's University. I plan on minoring in Communication Studies and Spanish, as well. Basically I'm really interested in language and the ways people communicate, so it seemed like the ideal major/minor combo.

I've always wanted to write a blog, so I'm kind of glad that it was an assignment. It gave me that extra push. I guess I was always too self-conscience to put my thoughts and ideas out on the web for anyone to see. Nevertheless, in an attempt to pass the course I decided to put my fears aside and let my fingers do the talking.

My purpose, or goal rather, is to learn and develop ideas, thoughts, and skills needed to help me land a job in the print or broadcast media world. Media is one of my biggest passions, which is probably why during my free time I;m either on a computer, watching television, or reading a newspaper/magazine/book.

My internet identity will be that of a college sophomore in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It's pretty straight forward and boring, so hopefully my identity can ultimately evolve with time.

My audience will be my fellow classmates of Com 2001 and whoever else stumbles across this page.
