Recurring not Reoccuring
I was looking through the dictionary and discovered I had misspelled the title to my own blog. A quick change from "Reoccuring" to Recurring was all I needed, but looking back now I can tell that I'm almost illiterate. I mean two "C"s instead of two "R"s.
So now were good and slightly more professional. Did I spell professional right? Aha, I did. Now a days with spell check and all, no one really needs to know how to spell. However, as journalism major and seeing that I am taking an editing course this semester, spell check isn't going to do a whole lot.
Journalism, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I've been turned off by it. I'm always working on some kind of story, either for the school paper or doing my pr work over at the department of sports information. I don't really enjoy it. Jocks and coaches are always looking down on me because I'm just some stupid reporter glorifying their accomplishments. Its deffinitely a pride swallowing profession. See I did it again, I'm getting pretty good at this spelling thing.
I don't know, I don't want to switch majors now, but I don't see myself working for the Indianapolis Star anytime soon. I get stressed out about deadlines and setting up internships for this summer. I wish I could just relax and go with the flow. I have never had a story that completely failed, I should have more confidence than I do. But I'm always worried that I'm not going to be able to write a long enough report or the people I need to get a hold of won't cooperate. So much to think about, so little time.
However, after work today my boss said that I'm improving on my football game synopsis and have the abilities of a good writer. That compliment renergized me while I was out setting up an interview with the ex quarterback. I really needed that today.
