I'm constantly questioning my journalism choice. As much as I love words, I don't know that I'll enjoy having to be in the loop of current events all the time. I tend to do well with people, but also go into times of isolation. I enjoy my loner status sometimes, and sometimes I feel that when I'm isolating myself it's my way of preserving myself from the world. The world is full of so much corruption and negativity, that I frequently avoid it as much as physically possible.

I'm a moody person, and I have days that I want to be in the middle of it all, and other times when all I want is to be with my children and surround myself with good and wholesome things, or run to the coast to sit near the ocean.

Example: I don't watch television ever! The last time I watched t.v. was when Mr. Priewe at my college gave us an assignment where we had to review commercials on prime time t.v. That was a long time ago. I've not turned it on since. I don't have cable, and don't care to, either. I feel dirty and tainted inside myself when I watch it, even dumb. It's strange, it's a feeling I've never quite been able to articulate. I'd much rather read something at home, or listen to music. I love the sound of music in my house and the kids chattering while I cook dinner. My children don't watch t.v. either. We rent an occasional dvd, but, it's a big deal when we do...popcorn, licorice...the works! They love that! I don't like to let too much of the outside world enter my home.

Anyway, these are just a few of my concerns with journalism. There is so much that I like about it...but, other little things that I wonder about.

Heck, if I could actually make a decent stable living off of theater....I would just become a full time actress, and learn to to be other people all the time! That sounds delightful to me...I'd never get bored, and it would feed my moody character, I'd always get to change into someone else! :)
