what i'm doing with my life

Today I finally got connected to the internet my rent is paying for! So I put a couple pages I worked on during my first few weeks at the Gazette on newspagedesigner.com. Well, two pages. The other pages I uploaded are all from the Daily News at Ball State. But anyway.
Here's one page I did last week or so. It ran on Monday. I'm pretty happy with it... especially since it's my first front page of anything (it's the cover of the Life section). And Dave, the guy I'm renting a room from, is the writer, which made this even more special.
Nothing interesting really happened today. I left work about an hour early, after sitting around for about a hour. Sometimes I feel like they really didn't need an intern — they pretty much have things under control and never really have any work for me to do. Most of the time I take other people's work and they end up, I don't know, doing other things. Whatever, I'm here to learn about journalism. So far I've learned that it's a scary place with no job security. Too bad I really enjoy newspaper design.
I guess we'll see...
Cheers!
