Update Time
April 20, 2008
So, I havent written a blog in forever, and I am putting off finishing up my final paper of my college career and I just thought it was time to update my friends on here about what was going on in my life.
I have 16 credit hours this semester, I got to school from 11-7 on Monday and Wednesday. Tuesday and Friday I work 8-6 at Balance (where I write spam emails and etc) and then i go to the Detroit News and work from 7-12am. Thursdays I work 8-6 at Balance. Finally on the weekends I get to catch up on homework. So as you can see Im busy.
I started my "big boy" job search a couple of weeks ago. I applied to every paper in Southeastern Michigan and also a couple in the Boston Area. I got a couple call backs but nothing in Sports. When Balance heard that I was looking to leave they offered me a full-time job writing emails, news letters, publications and etc. The pay is decent 30K a year. The best part is the work week is only 37.5 hours. Which is great because I hate work. So after talking to Arty (my mentor at the News) I decided to take the offer. I am still going to freelance at the News and look for a job in Sports but now Im not going to settle. Not only that but entry level reporters make about 20-25K a year.
Tomorrow is my last day of regular classes before finals, but really the only thing I am worried about is my 20 page Senior Thesis Philosophy paper (which I am putting off doing now). That is due Thursday. So once I get that done, Im golden.
I never thought Id say this but I think that I am going to miss school and miss learning. I already have a couple projects lined up for myself though. Next year is going to be my 20th Anv. of being a Sox fan. I think I am going to write a book about my journeys as a Sox fan. Also I am going to read books that I actually want to read.
Thats really all I have right now, things are finally coming together...Which is good because I was STRESSED out. Take care everyone and I miss you all. Watch out for more blogs, I will be writing again!
