"it's like a wave of maturity or something else positive is washing over me and when i'm done bathing in it i'm going to be different."

Wow; that sentence itself is beautiful and mature. Its nice to thing, too, that maturity comes in waves. Sometimes I think it sneaks up all too slowly, like a temperature change in the water. But, inevitably, I get hit by another wave that I didn't see coming, and am thankful. After the semester break, Ill bet it will really be evident--after an extended stay home.

Whatever you write will end up being good, im sure...Ill think of a topic here or there but probably won't be much help, who knows. when you say Jenny, do you mean Jenny Dial? ..Im just curious; she was in my terrible french class last year.

benefits of being a vegetarian would be too short, I think

I could tell something was different when you came to visit over thanksgiving break... so far I think its for the better but I don't see you that much. I'd say more mature and less concerned about what others think about you. or I could be way off. hah I need to study for my final instead of loitering around LJ.

Ha, lucky me, I didn't really have to do anything to get a job at the NT Daily - they saw my clip book and picked me up right away :) Good lucky with your column, though - you'll be a great asset to your college's paper.

thanks for your support :)
but i think i've given up already.
i couldn't think of anything to write about...and with exams around the corner, i'm not really motivated to do ANYTHING. plus, i'm a reporter, not a columnist...i'll wait till next year and try again.
