I must say that the life of a newspaperwoman is no stroll on the beach. I spend more time working on my articles for the Daily Mississippian than I do on my schoolwork. I am a very awkward person when on the phone, and this job requires a LOT of talking on the phone, especially to strangers. I had to buy one of those earbud thingies so that I may talk and type at the same time when on the phone. Next, I'll have to buy a tape recorder. On the whole, making things up in journalism is frowned upon. In fact, mere seconds ago, whilst I was writing this very entry. I was given two more assignments for this week in addition to the one I already had. It's not like I have midterms this week or anything. I've got it all under control, though, I think. I think.

Nice blog! I was a journalist for a number of years. The whole talking to people thing was horrible at first but I quickly grew to love it, although primarily for feature pieces. Controversial pieces were still painful. But I loved that people would just invite me into their lives. I'm much less shy that I used to be now. Hope you keep enjoying it. Sophia
