Thoughts for the Semester

        Today was the first day of my advanced news writing class for the fall semester of my senior year.  I am excited to be in a more writing intensive course where  the work we produce could potentially be published in The Torch or in other news publications.  I also see myself as more of a feature writer so I am excited to challenge myself and learn more about news writing and the different writing style required.  I am hoping to write for The Torch as much as I can this semester working with my volleyball schedule; however after taking this course, I think I will be even more prepared to write consistently for The Torch in the spring semester.  The variety of assignments and stories that we will be writing will keep the class interesting and fresh.  Also having taken the introductory jounralism course at Wittenberg in my sophomore year, it will be good to review the basics of journalism and build on those skills.
