My name is Jessi and this is my first blog, let alone my first blogging experience. I consider myself to be decently internet savvy, having been online for a while now- especially since almost everything has moved online! I have a wide variety of interests, ranging from the media to the vast world of business. Currently, I am enrolled at the University of Oregon and have yet to decide which path I wish to take with my life. I love reading, learning, rafting, hiking, and pretty much any outdoor activity. When I learn enough about something I usually have a strong and unique opinion. I hope my blog will provide something different yet insightful for you to explore.
I am setting up this blog for a journalism class I am enrolled in. I will be posting, initially, in accordance to my class assignments. However, after the term I will be continuing my blogging. My goals are to, provide a different outlook on subjects, bring up points that hadn’t occurred to you prior, and to develop some continuing readers.
My next blog entry will be on October 7th the night of the presidential debate. At the University of Oregon we are hosting an event titled Rate the Debate 2008. On Tuesday evening, hundreds of students will be seated in a lecture hall watching the debate. Afterwards there will be polling, and the students will be giving their opinions. Rate the Debate 2008 will have outside media coverage, and I will be posting an entry to give an inside view along with the results from the polls. The event is a great opportunity for the students of the university to show the world that we are the future of America and we are paying attention.
