the following is an actual conversation i had last night.

please note:
stupid is bolded // brissa is italicized

so, what are you studying?

print journalism.

oh wow! what do you plan on doing with that?

...writing...

yeah, that was probably a dumb question. 

sometimes i wish i could just slap the stupid out of people. 

take today and make it yours.

on saturday i got to interview the writer, producer and director for byu's latest animated film. 

i interviewed him and two others who helped on the film.

i wish i could have written a long feature piece on them.

{being limited to 15 inches can sometimes suck.}

i got to watch the film and was amazed.

after interviewing the boys for 40 minutes,

hearing them talk about 2-D and 3-D

{2-D like the little mermaid and 3-D like toy story}

and spit out words like 'tradigital' 

it was like magic being able to see the words they were saying come to life in the film.

as i walked to my car and drove home i thought to myself,

"oh. my. gosh. i just interviewed someone who is going to be somebody someday."

not even kidding. 

those boys are already pioneering new techniques. 

they are the ones who are going to make the movies my kids watch.

it is what we do with the here and now that decides what we do later in life.

like woah.

rodents on roids.

yesterday was a blustery day. 

it was snraining and the wind blew my hair in such a way that made me feel famous.

it was in my face so i had to pull my curls back so i could cross the street.

maybe i just felt cool because the clock in my class was an hour fast

and my teacher didn't notice.

so he let us out of class an hour early and i booked it out of there like a bandit.

it was glorious. 

i also felt famous because one of my articles ran today

and my friend isaac told me he liked my writing and

derek texted me to tell me he read my article.

first provo, then the world!!

i also discovered that windy weather makes me look like a chipmunk on crack.

yeah buddy. 

press pass please.

so i'm going here today

to pick up my credentials.

nbd.

i met with my creative writing professor today.

we talked about my personal essay.

he spoke to me about its levels and complex nature.

i felt kind of cool.

because i realized i was a real-life college kid

in a real-life college professor's office

having a discussion.

it's kind of neat to have someone who's had stories and books published

tell me my writing is good.

to have them open up new ideas and views

and approaches to my paper.

i love personal essays.

i also love creative non-fiction.

and i love how he said that's what national geographic is.

and no professor bennion,

my dreams aren't small.

 

Day Two.

Today was my second day of school.  I am so excited it should be illegal.  I am really looking forward to learning in all my classes. I can't wait to dive in to my communications classes.  For two of my classes I am assigned to read the New York Times everyday.  I am actually quite thrilled about this and don't look at it as an assignment at all {well, until the quizzes start...}.  I was already planning on keeping up with current events and reading the paper and now I have multiple reasons for following through with it.  I think it's neat that I know a little bit more about the world I'm living in than I did yesterday.  I like it.  I would rather  be aware of what is going on around me than live in ignorance and pretend everything is peachy. 
For my Principles of Journalism class I need to get {another} blog to write about current events or things discussed in class and a twitter account.  I'm not sure how I feel about the latter.  I honestly don't really see a point to twitter.  It's basically a page for multiple facebook statuses.  But I can see how it's beneficial because twitter is one way to relay information and spread news quickly. 
I'm pumped for school to really get started so I can delve into my major and make the steps necessary to get where I want to be.
