so life doesnt always go as planned

So the summer months set in and are now ending. I haven't updated because I wanted this blog to be more about journalism, and news worthy updates. I wanted to it to have more of an adventures in journalismesque tone.
But since my last update I have gone on a few job interviews, gone through my savings like a QVC shopper in peril and fought conventionality with malice and vengeance. As hard as it is to come to terms with this fact I have to admit that Chile is looking less and less likely as my bills are growing and my income is dwindling
I interviewed at a paper last week in Madison County Mississippi and got the job. In one week I will be moving.
This isn't the career path I envisioned but I can officially say: I AM A JOURNALIST! I guess I have always been one but now I am getting paid to be one!
The transition is an easy one for me. Few people know that I have Mississippi blood, and have been integrated at a young age to the customs of this southern land. Beauty Pageants, Hunting, and slow pace life are a few of the themes that punctuate Mississippi.
I have no idea what is to come, or how this will determine my future but in an age in which journalism jobs are fewer and far between I feel like this is my chance to learn as much as I can and enjoy the ride.
