Fortunate

Today I feel fortunate, I'm putting somethings behind me and not turning back. Transit. Sun trine Sun until tomorrow. Pretty damn good. I've got opportunities of a life time. I might get the chance to get accepted to Northwestern University, one of the best schools for an undergrad in journalism, because of the connections I've made. I'm scared of the place though, and what if I don't like it? Truly my heart belonged to Columbia College. This weekend and today I was up and the campus, and everything just seemed so beautiful. Dad told me, "This feels like you." I agreed with him for a while, so now I'm not sure anymore.
Today I taught a blog workshop to professional journalists for the McCormick Foundation. Got damn was it beneficial! I got a chance to meet the editor of the San Franciso Chronicle and other big time newspaper employees. One lady wanted to give me an internship over the summer, and guaranteed that she'd pull strings to get it for me. Others were pouring all over me with their business cards saying that they'd offer me a place in their newspapers when I graduate from college. This really feels like it was destined. I am positively sure that this is what I should be doing for the rest of my life. I've never been this sure before.

Also, I met a freshman from my high school at this blog workshop. I never knew he attended my high school, but he's freagin amazing. Our likes and such were so similar and we didn't want to part from each other when the bus stopped. I really feel like its a blessing I met him, and now I have a new best friend to replace the old. I want to hang out with him alot more. The thing is that he's moving to gawd knows where in Illinois, and I don't have a very long time to hang with him. So we'll see. I think it's a start of a beautiful friendship. Overall a beneficial day.

I'm happy.

Bless you. I got into both Northwestern and University of Chicago--I chose the latter as it suited my needs, but Northwestern is the shit when it comes to journalism. It's also a way happier place to be than U of C--you know or now you do that I'm a Chicagoan. I'm glad you are happy and getting to share your gift with others. That's how life should be.
