Pizza Guy Revelations

Last night I "worked" at the station. I was so bored I left to go get a slice of pizza. When I went in the guy at the counter asked me why I was wearing a sweater in mid-summer. I said that where I worked was air conditioned. He asked me where I worked, I told him and he asked if I liked it, without giving myself any time to censor what came out of my mouth I said "No.".

It took a pizza guy asking me to figure it out. I don't like broadcast. It is the same four stories over and over and over again. Some of the most fun I've had this summer was a few days ago when I stayed up until 1 a.m. with Kevin, a police officer for a story for my paper. Everyday in print is new and exciting, you get to talk to people and learn.

I don't think it is likely that I will drop the broadcast specialization from my major because I'm too stubborn and it is interesting to learn about and a good backup, but if given the choice I think I'd choose print. Maybe I wont go after the New York internship for ABC's network like I intended to.

Thanks, Pizza Guy.
