OK I'm actually attempting to commit to blogging

There never seems to be enough time in the day, and as a result I have put off religiously blogging for over a year now.

As graduate student, I really have no room to claim that I am "busy" - the common excuse most use for not doing things - but I just don't know where time in the day goes.

You know how it goes, get up in the morning and go, go, go until bedtime - half the time not even turning your thoughts off in your sleep - but as the to-do list for tomorrow augments, I constantly wonder what did I accomplish today?

From now on, hopefully I can say at least one blog.

So to kick off my personal blog, a little bit about me.

A native San Diegan, I moved out-of-state for the first time three months ago. I currently live in New York to study journalism - and not to the city, but the lovely upstate region which should just be detached from NYC.

I live, breathe and sleep journalism.

Whether I studying it in class, interning at the CNY Business Journal or reading the New York Times, Poynter.org or Vogue, journalism consumes my life.

Aspiring to break into the online profession, I crave the answer to new media complex and solving the industry's mounting problem of how to make revenue. The availabilities of entering this profession in less than year scares me, and adding to my fears is the economic trouble the nation is in.

When not thinking about the above, I dance, practice yoga, run and try to find time to relax. I miss the beach - a San Diego solace - and my loved ones back home.

I'm a pretty simple girl with some complex thoughts. I am random, off-the-wall and strive to be out of the ordinary, but thus far I've walked through life on the straight and narrow.

I am waiting for adventure, which I pray is just around the corner. To travel, to do the unexpected and to take risks. Oh, to make time for excitement.

Time. That's what life all comes down to.

Finding time, having time - opportunity lies within the perfect timing. All I hope is that I make time for my dreams, and that they come in ideal timing.

For now though, I have time for my blog.
