Today was journalism day at my school (Cal State Long Beach). It was beneficial to hear from real journalists and their experiences working within the global media. Their forecasts for the future of journalism were of particular interest to me because I will soon need to find a career in journalism after I graduate next year.
They told us students to get our names out there and make ourselves known on the world wide web. I hope my blog helps with that.
One of the "panelists" in the discussion that we had left us with words of encouragement (which I found to be a refreshing contrast from most forecasts for the future of journalism) that there is a whole wide world out there for the taking from fresh new reporters.

Published, wine tasting, and the new testament
There has been a lot going on lately. I was published for the first time in my school paper: The Daily Forty-Niner for a fashion story I did. It will turn into a weekly thing, as long as I keep it up. Writing a story was not as easy as I had hoped. I have a lot of room for improvement, and I'm glad I have the Forty-Niner for the sake of improving my craft.
This was one of the photos that ran with the story about fashion on a budget, these clothes were all found at Forever 21, H&M, or the Buffalo Exchange.
A couple of weeks ago I went on a wine tasting trip in San Luis Obispo for Thalia's birthday. Her boyfriend Will is in the navy and one of my good friends. Raul who is a good friend of Will's and mine (Will first) also took the trip with us.
and just in case celia is reading this. she will someday be reading my fashion articles from nylon (or elle) magazine:
And for Vision, which is the weekly college age greoup at my church, we took the challenge to read the whole new testament in 5 weeks. It has been challenging and I have gotten behind a couple of times, but it has also been quite awesome. Jesus was an amazing more than human and it is great to hear his words and the words of those who knew him so well.
The Bible shows how great God really is. It is also hard to read because it is so convicting to see the sin in my life.
