forming a group

On Thursday we had to pitch the ideas to the class for a Blogzine, commercial group blog. There was a tiny issue: how can you pitch something that isn't there? I did think about it, but I seriously didn't have any ideas. Well, not any good ones. Can you imagine standing in front of your classmates and saying something which you know to be unimaginative nonsense? Then it hit me it's like doing a presentation! People bored out of their minds kindly try their best to pay attention to one of their peers whom is falling asleep while presenting the thing.

By the time I realized this, most of the class was done pitching and we had to pick our groups. I would have chosen Marianne's idea since I am interested in international news, I want to be a foreign correspondent and all that, but then I had a second thought, I know what you are thinking. This girl can actually manage to elaborate two separate thoughts? I'm aware it's impressive. What if I don't want to be a foreign correspondent what if I don't want to be a journalist at all? I chose all my second year theory modules because I knew I wanted to be a serious dedicated journalist , media law, globalization, multiculturalism, international journalism and political economy, that spells boring out of me I'd say. So lets try the top tens!

AS for now the most valuable lesson I learned is that not only "serious journalism" is hard work. It took us more than anyone else to finish our first post and not because we are stupid, at least not excessively. As a group I reckon we work quite well, sometimes silly, but we always get the work done and it's not just done I honestly think that are all first posts were well, written, creative and most of them original.
