Round Two

I am an interning vagabond (my mother thought this was a perfect description for me after someone called me that). As I have mentioned before, I intended for this blog to chronicle my experience as D.C. journalist. It didn’t pan out quite as well as I had hoped and planned. I’ll have another shot at doing this whole journalism thing in a few days. I’ll try to not be such a baby this time and quit my bitching.

I’ll no longer be a resident in the lovely EP at 6 a.m. Friday morning. I’ll start with a drive across Texas with friends, and then begin my 13-week stint a Spanish-language journalist! Chinnnnn. Spanish is scary. To prep me for my new scary job, I’m going to spend a few days hitting up Fiesta Texas and Schlitterbahn before rejoining the workforce in the field I love to hate.

All these entries have been pretty ridiculous lately. They are little more than “comments.” I can’t promise the next ones won’t be as equally ridiculous, but hopefully they’ll have a little more substance. With Ben pushing me along, I’m sure I’ll do a couple of blog-worthy things and even have a snapshot or two to go along with it, or an awesome award-winning photo if I force Ben to make the photos. I’ll probably also bite Ivan’s style and swipe whatever he’s doing at SI. Because why wouldn’t a photog for Sports Illustrated be doing the most awesome shit ever?

Ivan suggested I change the name of this blog to The Grassy Knoll, but I think I’ll stick Doors Opening despite no longer living in D.C. It is sort of uplifting, no? Here’s to a new life in Dallas, at least for 13 weeks.

Peace, bitches!
