Hello, my name is Lucina Mendez and I am taking Journalism 2121 online. I am very very confused by this whole process; for sanity sake I will hope I am not alone in my confusion.
A little about me. I am 28 years old and this is the first class I have taken in ten years. I am scared and a little excited about returning to school, but I have always wanted to attend college, and since I am one of those crazy people that firmly believe the world will end on Dec. 21st, 2012 I thought I should get to it before the world as I know it ends. I hope I am wrong, and I figure either way people should at least attempt to accomplish there dreams. This is my attempt.
I work two jobs and will be attempting to go to school full time. In my free time I drink copious amounts of coffee with my friends, and read bad romance novels. I hope this class will assist me in becoming a better writer. I have always enjoyed reading the paper, and have often wondered at the process behind it; my hope is that ( assuming I figure this all out) I will walk away with a better understanding of the journalistic process.
For my local/national newspaper-reading assignment I have chosen the Star-Tribune, and The Washington Post. I look forward to reading the blogs of my fellow students, and reading your comments on my own.
Have a good one,
Lucina L Mendez

Lucina - You're off to a great start in this class. Feel free to contact me with any questions you have. It's not always easy returning to school after such a long absence, but you'll find that many attending ARCC have done just that. And they are thriving.
ReplyDeleteHi Lucina! My cousin is a firm believer in the 1212 also, for christmas we all gave him presents on things he would need to survive, so I understand where you are coming from! Kudos for going back to school, it hasn't been as long for me but I still have to put lots of grease on the wheels because they are rather rusty!
