the pink politic

Last semester...ever.

The spring semester (and last semester of j-school) begins tomorrow. I'll spend the day at my internship and at a lecture I'm looking forward to on Covering Race. The next day, Bronx Beat begins. That's my workshop - a student-run newspaper that covers the South Bronx. We all have a chance to be editor of the paper, which will come out every two weeks and will also be updated online. And every student covers a topical beat, like politics, education, etc. I'm hoping to cover health, religion or youth, but I think all that will be decided on Thursday. Then next week begins my seminar, Immigrant America, on covering the immigration beat in the United States, and my elective on News Editing. I turned in the first draft of my Master's Project today. The final version isn't due until March.

The weirdest thing about all this is that this is my last semester of school EVER. I guess that is unless I ever decide to go back for another Master's or for a PhD or something, but as of right now, this is it. I'm excited - I'm actually ready to get a job (and make money). But I'm trying to enjoy the freedom of being a student while I can.

I'll try to keep updating regularly, but with my internship and so many demanding classes, I might be posting links to my stories more than actually updating this. Hope you'll stick with me!
