I Heart Powell's

I went to Powell's yesterday, and... well, I went crazy. People really shouldn't let me go into book stores. So it's not my fault. 

I've seen the movie 'Nights in Rodanthe' and now wanted to read the book.  I bet I'll cry... 

I don't go crazy about just books... notebooks, too. I've wanted to have this ever since I first saw it a few weeks ago, and now finally bought it!!

I actually find blank pages very inspiring. Anything's possible when there's no ink on them :)

B is for BLOGGING

Surprise, surprise.

Blogging is probably one of the most greatest and funniest hobbies I've ever had. I started in December 2010 and after a slowish start I'm picking up, and I'm really into this. 

What I'm actually glad about is that I started when this whole thing wasn't so "in". At least it wasn't here... Seems like blogging has become more and more popular in the recent past. I'm always on the look for new, interesting blogs, so if you're blogging, don't forget to link me the address! 

I'm doing this for myself. I truly enjoy this. I'm glad to have followers who care enough to read about what I have to say. I welcome all comments and suggestions to improve my blog, but... since you guys are a pretty quiet bunch of readers, seems like I'll be making the decisions on topics for now :) 

b the w, I love typing this post with my green nails. 

EXCLAMATION POINT

I finally started my journalism course a week ago and I'm so excited I can't even begin to tell you. I've only just gotten my second assignment and here's what it is: write an article (subject was selected in the first assignment), ideally within the next two weeks, and then you are going to try and sell it. SELL IT! OMG! I'm sooooo freaked out and at the same time so incredibly excited!!! I know there's a good chance no magazine will buy my first article, but I won't let that bring me down. Eventually it will happen ;)

Part of me becoming a journalist is making reading my second nature. Check. I just have to make sure I read something worth while. I've been thinking of subscribing Life- magazine since it's so hard to find from the stores here... Instead of Life I found these:

Trust me, they have a lot worth while reading there ;)

Something to think about

When I come across something that moved me, touched me, inspired me and changed me, I can't shut up about it. That's why I'm now telling you about a book called The Help. It's about a young college-graduate living in Jackson, Mississippi, who decides to write a book from the point of view of the help. The book is set in the 1960's when such a topic was dangerous to bring up. The book is so wonderfully written in the point of view of the main character, Skeeter, and two African-American maids, Aibileen and Minny. It made me laugh and it made me cry. Most of all it made me so happy things have changed since then.

So if you want a new addition into your book shelf, go buy The Help. Or go get it from the nearest library. Just read it. After you're done let me know so I'll have someone to gush about it with!
