j-o-u-r-n-a-l-i-s-t not that confusing right?

Wrong.
Maybe I shouldn't be so confident being in the program and all but what is it with people and their perceptions of a journalist. Being brown and all yay I stepped out of the social norm, but that is over-played now isn't it? It might not be the largest population, but there are South Asian journalist hitting the scene. Why have some Indians not figured that out yet? So I am covering a networking event and this man comes up to me asking what I am doing in university. So yes...he got the picture...journalist...so then he says am I becoming a weather girl at the end? WHAT? A weather girl a journalist? Okay, maybe when she is covering all of the news and has to add weather on the side, or maybe if she takes over the job, or even starting out as a weather girl working her way up to full news, I am not going to school to be a weather girl. Reporting, a reporter, it's a whole different story. We write, report, produce and pretty much make the news. Then I have relatives talking about the money and how I won't get any where in life as a journalist? Well, yes money make the world go around, but I rather be happy with what I am doing than sitting at a desk all day with a big-fat fake smile on. I am just the type to do journalism because I like it, so go away.

P.S IT'S SUNNY TOMORROW!
