Time for Change

The following is just a quick update of the current direction of my blog “A Little Light” and a brief update on my life.

For the past year, I have used this blog primarily as a platform for my drafts before final editing and publication in the Evergreen a couple of days after it appeared in this space. During this past year with the Daily Evergreen, I have learned a lot and have grown as a writer. So, roughly nine months and a dozen articles later, a decision has been made in which I will no longer write for the Daily Evergreen. Journalism lies outside of my career goals, and writing is simply a hobby, therefore it would make sense to shift my time and efforts elsewhere. If you are interested in exploring my legacy left with the Daily Evergreen through my written pieces, you may refer to this link: http://www.dailyevergreen.com/writer/9089.

As I am applying for certification in my major, I am also intending to land employment in occupations closer related to my potential field. So along those lines, I am also drastically reducing my role as a Cougar Connector – the student ambassadors for WSU. I will no longer be manning the phone lines for recruitment purposes, but will simply be conducting guided tours during visitation events. So if you happen to be interested in taking my position, you have until the end of this month to apply.

The only position in which I will continue to invest my resources in is my position as a student mentor for Multicultural Student Services. However, I am also taking upon another position which relates closer to Information Technology, in addition to carrying 18 credits. So while my roles and titles may have adjusted, I anticipate a perpetual busy and filled schedule. That said, I am excited to actually take classes related to my field of Information Systems and to work in a department which offers the closest thing to a hands on experience while drawing funds from my work study allotment.

In regards to “A Little Light,” I see myself continuing maintenance of this blog, although the updates will pertain more on a personal level rather than a professional journalistic publication tier. I will probably create more frequent, though shorter, posts depending on the situation. I am also exploring the possibility of moving this onto WordPress, as I have heard that it is far more powerful than Google’s Blogger service and could provide much more services. In addition, I am exploring the possibility of purchasing a permanent domain. I am hesitant to pour funds into an area where I see no immediate investment, but I will continue to explore this possibility, as it is the natural next step in the life on this blog.

I have a few comments to make about this semester, and it will probably appear in a post shortly after this, as I don’t want to ramble on in one continuous session.

Cheers!
