November Preview

I've been stressed, tired, overexerted, and quite frankly unmotivated lately. My theory behind this is school. The fun of October swiftly blows away as the weather changes and November becomes cold and disastrous, especially in school. As a student, I've always loved school, but have always been fed up with the way teachers act when it gets closer and closer to the "f-word"....Finals. In my opinion, we need to just step back and chill, since November is such a festive and great month. Two posts you should see in November are my ones pertaining to how great of a November month is through tradition and festivities as well as how that is ruined (by school and finals). We shouldn't have to stress about teachers laziness (not all teachers, some work very hard and I appreciate that) but really some are just starting to piss me off...Wait a second is piss considered a swear word anymore? I'm also participating in a self-made month where I give up swearing, I'll blog about that as well.

After final test exams, our paper and majority of our staff will be going to the JEA National Convention in Minneapolis. Definitely expect coverage of that on my blog, I'll definitely be putting up a lot of photos (whether or not they are pertaining to journalism and the convention or not), maybe a video, and after the convention a nice little blurb about the experience of it. The convention is one of our favorite times of the year and last year we pretty much left our mark on the Kansas City convention (getting an indirect mention about having a little too much fun in the revolving doors, oops).

This leads us right up to the end of the month and Thanksgiving, one of my favorite Holidays. I expect that I'll blog about Thanksgiving and all the festivities I love. One of the festivities that comes with fall, is football, and with football comes fantasy football, expect to know further into the life of fantasy alter-ego (who is crazy). Last but not least, expect a few lessons in the newsroom as well. I've been kind of slow to churn those out and the ones I did weren't the direction I wanted, but expect to see more in November and in the coming months. It's really hard to blog about one topic, and I chose journalism because there is such a broad spectrum of things to talk about, but once I got down to the lessons I was stumped, and that is why you have seen a lot of different sides of my blog now: music, sports, viral sensations, and anything else.

Thank you to anybody who has read my blog thus far, regardless I've been kind of lacking on them as the requirement for the class, I plan on catching up and using my blog more, especially having the one week break will be a really good time to get some blogs out there. That is what you can expect for November, hopefully you will enjoy!
