Getting back on top of things, I hope

Since I took my news writing and reporting class back in winter quarter, I have slacked on writing absolutely anything. After learning everything this year I would really hate to lose it all by not putting anything out. I haven't picked up any news stories lately, but I am working a bunch of selections about my baseball experiences. You can look for those coming shortly. They may not be things I could publish, but at least it keeps me writing in my down time during the summer.
I'm officially half-way done with college. The last two years have gone pretty fast, and saying that I'm close to being done is a huge wake-up call to me to start getting things in order. I think I have finally decided on what path I would like to take as far as internships and my final goal for college go. I'm currently working on the news track at UC, with a minor in Spanish, with my eye on sports journalism after I graduate. Considering I am not a communications major, I am not allowed to receive a public relations certificate, but I'll take all the classes anyway. If I can conquer the news track early enough, I'm going to start working on the photojournalism track as well.
I don't know how all of the interests will merge into one career, but we'll see what unfolds. I'm hoping to find internships in the sports field, but that's quite a competitive area. In the meantime, I'm working on a lot of my photography this summer, and hopefully keeping up with this blog. We'll see how it all goes!
