I haven't a soul. It's officially gone. I put it in this machine to pay off my debt. If you look hard enough, you will find my soul. This is my horcrux. There's the name for my new macbook. I dub it… him… Horcrux. Or… He Who Shall Not Be Named. Or You Know Who. Whatever. Or maybe even Avada Kedavra, because this thing positively killed my bank account. Yes. That sounds good. I will guard You Know Who with my life.

Interviewing and other journalism related things
This past Thursday I conducted my very first interview for a community coverage article. I was nervous and I said "Um," a lot. It is really hard not to say that. Try it sometime.
Besides that, I think it went pretty well. I finished transcribing the whole interview yesterday. Now for a lead. And actually writing the article. I'm also nervous about this part. I have all the information ready; all that is left is to plug it in to something worth publishing. I am excited. It's like putting a puzzle together. I never really liked puzzles, but I love writing. I love the whole process of putting words together. It sounds like I'm getting philosophical, so I'll stop there. There is no time for that.
On an unrelated note, this cooler weather is freaking amazing! Yay, boot weather! And long sleeves, and knee high socks. It's all so exciting. Halloween will be here soon. I AM SO EXCITED. CANDY. Anyway, I have to go read Dracula now. Laters.

Laser tag & other cultural field trips
Why bother exercising when you can just play laser tag?
At least the second time around you won't be really sore. Beware the first time, though. You'll feel like death. Trust me, I know. But it is really fun.
So that's what I did this weekend for the sake of learning. The assignment was to take a classmate on a field trip to do something out of their comfort zone. Tonight, I'm going to see what a sorority is like.

Hey, guys. I forgot I had a draft of a blog, so that ^ was from exactly one month ago.
It's been a while.
I'm writing articles and a research paper on My Little Pony (mainly about bronies) and I couldn't be more excited/tired/whatever. Anyway, til next time.
