Business before business

Good grief. I think I'm not the only person who wants spring to come. Fast. Now. Tonight.

I'm up finishing some homework for class and I really just cannot wait for Winter quarter to be over. Next up, finishing up my business minor. I hope I get some insight as to some of the things that are happening in the business world of America. It seems like there's a ton of opportunities for journalists in the business world and I just happen to adore it.

It took a while for me to admit it, but I do enjoy business as a whole. It's full of facts -- something any journalist would love. And while I might end up crunching numbers it'll be interesting.

Take this for example. The oldest son of the Hamas founder said he was an Israeli spy for a decade and converted to Christianity. Interesting.

But, what really is peculiar about this story is (I heard it on the radio) that people are saying he defected due to money. Hamas was going to make it hard on him to make any money, etc.

I think, in a nutshell, cash does indeed rule everything around us.

And as a journalist, I think it's our job to find out where they get the money and the dollar, dollar bill, ya'll.

It's funny. I was worried about the prospect of getting a job before, but now I'm just plain excited to see what kind of stories we'll all end up reporting.

Budget stories, capitalist corruption and money laundering? Whatever's good, man, just give us a shot.

Because, as you know, we at TNR never really pass up a chance to do the public some good by reporting on some of the bad and the ugly.

I don't think we really have anything to worry about, truth be told, because no matter how many blogs pop up and die out, I don't think their writers would want to go through the hassle of looking at a statistics table until they want to take said table and bash their face with it.

And am I nervous about the EIC question and answer session on Friday? Yes. More than I am for some of my final exams, if that says anything.
