To say I’ve done a poor job of updating would be an understatement. A gross understatement.
Regardless, here we are. The last two months of my life have been filled with work. Would I have it any other way? Absolutely not. I was putting in 10 to 12 hour days during the week.
And I lived for it.
The work I was doing was compelling, fun and challenging. That’s what I want out of my life. I am on spring break this week and will attempt to catch some of this up. It will be impossible to catch all of it up. Even so, I will post the stuff I was churning out as a journalist and to give an idea of what my professional arc has looked like. You can see, however, that from week one to week 10, I made vast strides.
At present, I feel comfortable with who I am as a journalist and have found my voice. Some people may never get to that point. It took me less than six months to get there. I cannot tell you how much it pleases me.
So this will be brief, I have other things I am about to do. But I will be posting this week and making sure that renewing my domain was not a worthless $10 for 2010.
Posts forthcoming.

I’m glad you’re still posting! This is Clarisa. I ended up getting into Northwestern and I’m going to be a McCormick Scholar. Best of luck.
