Virgin blogger!

As avenues for journalistic excellence grow, so must I. My blog is a large part of this endeavor. Although there was a time when I believed I would never be a part of the 'tweeting' community, I am excited to challenge my skills as a writer and to gain experience that will be invaluable in the field of journalism. I would also like to request that my readers and editors bear with me through this growth period as I will be committing a great many 'firsts', which will probably not meet the standards of a professional journalist. Albeit, my hope is that my blunders will be the steps that teach me how to be a better writer, student, and journalist. A great deal of my work will be coming from Jour 3410 lab assignments but I also intend to sprinkle that with some personally inspired pieces but feel free to subject those to just as much scrutiny as the aforementioned. No matter what the content, I wish this blog to be a productive as possible and you, my readers will be a significant part of that.
