Let's Talk About Me.....

I am not a blogger. I like to read blogs and I think it's a good way to talk about what you like and find interesting as well as keep up with society. Hopefully this whole blogging thing goes well, I'm excited.

Hi. My name is Shiara. Pronounced Shy-ra. My friends call me Shy. I am a Junior at Slippery Rock University. If all goes as planned I'll be graduating from the Slimy Pebble with BS in Communication/Journalism December 2012. On top of being a student, I work. I am a sales associate at Country Fair, which is a convenient store/gas station. I've been working for the company for five years, talk about dedication. I love to write poetry, draw, and read novels. Instead of going into the creative writing field, I chose journalism. I'm not even sure why. I will say it is definitely a fun and interesting form of writing, but will I make it a career?

Initially I took New-Media Journalism because I needed another journalism course. Then I discovered what we would be partaking in and the excitement kicked in. Twitter and Facebook are good ways of saying what you want and reading other people's post but here's a way to say more and learn more. News is traveling faster online than newpapers these days. I look at The Washington Post online a lot. Thanks to Advance Reporting and Broadcast Journalism I have to keep up on news. I like the thought of being a blogger and sharing what I consider news, but I'm not sure if I'll be that good. Hopefully this class will continue to be interesting and I will take on the world of blogging with a vengeance. I've learned different ways of journalism, so blogging won't be too different, right?

I hope this class will keep me up on all the news and ways of the world. Now days everything is so fast paced, I just want to stay as caught up and close as possible.
