journalistic perfectionism
Damn. I finally write an article my Reporting Prof likes and I've already published it in the Voice. She recommended I submit it to Chow! (printed through the Eugene Weekly). So I thought it was worth a shot and called them this morning but the director of the food pub says they book it a while beforehand. That, and they've already published a review of Sushi Station in the EW. Ehhh. Well, I'll submit it anyway just to bug them. They pay 10cents and inch (err, only 5 for student published and classwork tho). But to imagine actually being paid for my efforts? BLISS! Sigh.

I wonder what it'll be like to have journalism as a career. It's so dynamic, but you can never leave your work"at work." It follows you everywhere. I could grow to love it or learn to hate it. It's a thin line I'm walking here. Hmm. Hope I've made a good choice.
