A Faint Glimmer?

Word of the day: rogitate, meaning to ask regularly.

Today, in journalism, we had a guest speaker stop in and talk to us about public relations, and she kind of touched on the entertainment side of media coverage. Specifically, she mentioned my professor from my writing about film and drama class last semester, John Serba, and how she had to meet with him to talk about the film festival she was helping with. Taking a look at John Serba, who is the head of writing about entertainment for the Grand Rapids Press, and everything else he does - he informed us during my class with him that he also works at Vertigo, the record shop down town - that working in the field of entertainment and writing about entertainment could be an insanely fun or at least amusing field to pursuit. I mean, with all of his odd jobs he performs, he never seems like he'd be bored with life, and his schedule (I'm not assuming) isn't set in stone every single day of his life. That's the kind of interesting life I'd like to lead, even if it's only  interesting on my part for never getting old.

Perhaps I might  have a more concrete answer now when people rogitate me about what I want to do with my writing degree: an entertainment specialist, or whatever he's considered. Regardless, he was cool in class, and I assume his job(s) is cool too. It's also not like my current activity would be too far behind in that focus, as I've been approved for about a week now to cover the Circa Survive concert I will be attending in a few weeks for my school newspaper. Fuckawesome!

No, I'm not bipolar, by the way.
