So, I'm totally done journalism. Except for the graduation May 20, I'm totally done.

I'm currently writing from my new residence room at Humber College in Toronto. I'm taking the Creative Book Publishing Programme in hopes of someday starting my own publishing company.

I just had my orientation day today, and it's pretty much what I expected. Lots of 9-5 days jam packed with the business of publishing and author-writer talks...and networking. I'm about to meet a lot of important people in the publishing world in the next four months, so I have to be ready. For example, Cynthia Good is the programme director. She used to be the president and publisher of Penguin Canada. She's super positive and has a great energy that is infectious.

At the end, there's a 3 month internship at a publishing company. Apparently there's more than enough internships to go around (there's 32 of us in the programme), especially that the economy isn't the greatest, so people can afford interns. Some of the internships are paid and some aren't. I guess the part I wasn't expecting was that it would be a 3 month internship. I was kinda hoping to go back home at the end of the four months. I mean, I'm not going to get an internship close to home just so that I can go home, but...after everything that's happened this month (it was a very hectic month!), I feel like I'll need some home energy before gearing up once more.

I'm terrible at keeping a regular blog, but I'm going to give it my darndest this summer. I'm going to be in the thick of the publishing world in Canada, and I want to chronicle that as best as I can.

This is a test post to see if Blogger works with the new Opera Browser.

If you are reading this, then it does. Go Opera and Blogger.

Feel myself getting sick. It's not ohs fun.

Especially with all the things I need to do this week. Finish magazine...do other things that I'm too tired to write about...etc. Mostly magazine. Once that's done, no more journalism ever. It's my last project. Then I'll have a journalism degree. GO ME.

Now, to bed times I go.

An informative video to teach you folks about where I'm from.



Happy April Fool's.
