Paranoid ... I WAS paranoid, now I'm not

Current Song - Arms of an Angel (Sarah McLaughlin)

I don't know what that song is called.

I was getting worried about my journalism career, my academic career, and my tenure at BP. I've just learned to settle down a bit and take things one at a time.

I've got the three-night stretch of work coming up. I've got to accomplish that along with writing a story fiction story revolving around a character sketch someone gave me. I'm not into writing fiction stuff; in fact, I don't get the whole point of fiction. To me, it is all fluff. My journalism revolves around being straight-to-the-point. I like my fiction to be that way, but then it can't be called fiction w/o the fluff.

I was also thinking about my writing for a bit. I always made myself readily available to work when I was working at SVN. That's why they made my do the little league softball stuff. When I noticed that only one local high school event was covered and the rest left into capsules, I thought about the day when I used to dream about creating a Sterling/Rock Falls/Newman based website. Well, there's Sterling Pride and RF Rockets, so that idea is scrap until the future. I wonder if there is a way SP.com can entice a student into writing articles and recieving credit?

For a website like mine, I can really only be restricted to certain things. The day-to-day beat writing is something that I can do when my mind is off of school and BP. For now, Invitationals, Tournaments, and key friday night games will have to suffice.

Byron has a Volleyball Invite next Saturday, and Sterling has one the week after. Hampshire is currently undefeated at 13-0, but they have Harvard next Tuesday before going to Byron on Saturday. I've already done enough Big Northern, haven't I?

*Idea just popping* Create a Big Event List: every Invitational, Tournament and Shootout all across the board.

Starting with this basketball season, I will only do Invitationals, Tournaments, and Shootouts. I can criss-cross Thursday and Friday night basketball games.
