Dear Blog4Journalism,
Now that Journalism is over, I will not be visiting you anymore. As much as I loved posting on you I was always too busy with my actual newspapers that I didn't have much time for you. I know that these are all just excuses, but I really did like you. And so did my friends.
I am informing you now, though, that the posts about toilet paper and the sun will not come. And that you will be absent from my life.
Goodbye my short lived, now deceased blog.
With much anguish,
Your dear manager,
Dominic Kluck.
So long.
Dear Math Grades,
Dear Math Grades,
Why are you so low? Do you wanna just strive a little harder to be a little higher? I do so much to make you an A, but for some reason you seem so much more content with C, D, and F. My parents are blaming me for not being able to bring you up when really it’s a matter of personal accountability on your part. I know everyone has their ups and downs but why not try being on an up right now? You can be as low as you want during the summer…even thought you probably won’t even exist by then. Take an example from Language Arts grades. It can’t be that hard to stay a straight A. Just until summer? PLEASE?
With Much Hope,
Dominic
Dear Winter,
I’ve decided what this blog will be about. I mean, I’m sure you guys don’t wanna hear the same, “I don’t have anything to write about, so I’ll ramble on about my lack of topic,” every week. So the theme will be letters to abstract things such as toiler paper, hope, winter, etc.
Anyway, here goes:
Dear Winter,
I’m very disappointed that you’re still here. Why’d u even come back? Seriously? EVERY YEAR?! Come on! Most people are sick of you within the first week of your arrival and the only thing you bring that anyone likes is that one holiday, and even that could easily be donated to spring. Snow doesn’t count, people are excited about it for one day and then it’s just on one of the other hassles you bring(not to mention the fact that you’re so stingy you only give it to half of the world(which is probably a good thing)). You are cruel season. You strip the trees of their leaves, you strip the ground of its greenery, even the animals try to sleep you away in their tree trunks or caves. Yet you come back each year… Why bother?
Have you ever read the poems that mention you? Sometime in the near future you should. Heck, you even tried to kill the first colonists that tried to settle in North America. Are you racist? You were bad from the beginning. I’m almost positive you weren’t in the Garden of Eden.
Anyway, all that to say, PLEASE DON’T COME BACK NEXT YEAR!
Sincerely,
Dominic
DISCLAIMER: All my letters will not be cruel and negative like that, I’m just very sick of Winter and very anxious for Summer( I know seasons are not supposed to be capitalized, but I’m referring to them as people.)
By the way, does anyone have any suggestions for me to write about? I’d be very happy for some.
My first post!
You know what? I really don’t know what to start my journalism blog off with. I never even thought I’d ever even come close to being a journalist or ever wanted to. But I guess now I have to. And actually, surprisingly so, Journalism has turned out to be a much more interesting course than I’d imagined.
Of a truth, newspapers have never held anything much for me. I’ve used newspapers as something old men read in the morning with their coffee in my art more than anything else(though I can’t say I don’t enjoy the comics section.)
Journalism for me has been an abstract concept for paparazzi and press officials. I’ve always thought it was too complicated for my poor mind which I have thought(and still do think) does not have an iota of practicality in it. But I have been shoved into it and like I said it is much more fun and interesting than I could have imagined. OH! And glory of glories, there is an artistic side to the very logical task of a Journalist. I get to design the newspaper! Which, although, is much more fun than writing this article or learning about the ethics and law of writing news, it is still a task and I have never been known to be a real “go getter.” Well, it is something new and one of my more interesting subjects this year; it does have its ups and downs.
Anyway I hope our team gets lots of subscriptions and sells many newspapers. I know we will.
