ChangeEverything

At work today, while researching about bicycle ambulances for a grant proposal, I happened across ChangeEverything, a site devoted to, you guessed it, positive change. From there I found 43Things, a site that lets you list your goals and network with others who have the same goals as you. I like it when I find interesting websites...especially when they are from my home province!

Changing Tastes

This week I realized how much I've changed since the start of fall semester last year. Last fall I was terrified to take News Reporting class and get my articles published in the Southern Accent (with my name attached no less!). Last fall I took News Reporting and ended up not hating it...too much. Last winter I was super-terrified to take Advanced Reporting and go out into the community to find stories. Last winter I took Advanced Reporting and enjoyed it...mostly. Last year I loved writing articles, but hated doing interviews and research and fact checking. Last year I pushed myself to do all those things and grew from the experiences.

This year things are different. I have a new challenge. This year my reporting classes are behind me. This year I'm the News Editor of the Southern Accent (who would have guessed at this time last year?!). This year I organize and edit articles from the current News Reporting class. And I realized this week that, most astonishing to me, this fall I'd rather do all the information gathering than actually write up my articles. How do things change so completely in just one year?
