This is my final blog of this summer course. I feel gloomy on the last day, knowing that I am never going to see most of the people in this class again. When I first entered this class, I thought it would be another one of those boring writing workshops. However, it is actually very different. I learned a lot about journalistic writing styles. It opened my mind to a whole different type of writing.
The atmosphere of the class is great. The teacher is nice and considerate. What else is there not to like? Well, there is one thing. Tony Davis lied to us that we have couches in our room. I donâÂÂt see any couches. But I guess computer chairs would do.
The best part of this class is that we learned to write articles and interview people for information. I am the type of people that would never talk to strangers but, during this course, I learned to suck it up and talk to them. If I want information, it is a must that I talk to strangers no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
Although there is a lot of stress coming to write the articles, it was really fun. I kind of like the stress because it keeps me busy. Otherwise, this summer I would probably be slouching off and waking up at noon. My mind would go numb from all the cartoons and useless things on the Internet.
This is a profession that I may seriously consider in my future. Since I grew up with Asian parents, the only fields my mind was open to was law and medicine. Never had I thought journalism would be an option. It never crossed my mind I could go that way. I am very glad I took this class.
