Intermission, Part 2

Here we are again my wonderful audience, back to another intermission bridging the gap between lecture 10 and lecture 11. It is here that I thought I would tell you why I actually want to be a journalist. I've always been fairly adept at word play, oft receiving many a compliment from peer to superior with regards to my intricate use of the english language. Now it may surprise you then, that I was considering psychology at one point. Yes for my first year of uni, I tried my hand at psychology. After going through the first semester, I realised that this restrictive dribble (not saying I disrespect psychs, just that it is very, very boring) was not what I wanted to do and that I had to find something that let my creative inner self shine through. It was then a God send, that I ran into a friend from school who had recently made the switch to Journalism. After having a good long chat, I realised that this was the right field for me, that it allowed creativity, but also provided restrictions. Let me say this here, the best kind of creativity is that which comes from restriction, the more you have, the more creative you have to be to actually be CREATIVE (that sounds confusing, but it follows a nice line of thought if you look closely enough). It was then with great joy that I made the switch and here I am, standing before you a happy happy man, doing what he loves.
