Hi everyone!
First, let me apologize for my three week long disappearance. Things have been pretty crazy here recently. In fact, I'm in the middle of trying to move, sell my car, work on my thesis, and continue bringing home the *kosher* bacon with my various jobs.
I'm actually very excited about my next feature article. I'm covering adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Jewish community in LA. I've met some amazing people while researching this topic: incredible individuals who have ASDs as well as the incredible individuals who devote their lives to helping others. I truly hope this article will help those in need of services find what they're looking for as well as convince people to help out at these centers (either by volunteering their time or aiding the services financially).
I'll be sure to post a link when it comes out (it will be in the March edition of TRIBE Magazine).
Other than that, I'm continuing to work on shopping editorials for TRIBE as well as my bi-monthly column for Patch. I'll be back at work in my tutoring position next week at CSUN and starting my final semester of grad school.
Say whaaa??? Yes folks, my final semester of grad school (and possibly my final degree). I don't know how much I really want to pursue a PhD. As of now, I'm sick of academia and itching to spend more time working in the real nitty-gritty world of journalism, where I'm sure to continue earning poverty-level wages.
And seeing as I don't plan on marrying any doctors or lawyers soon, I'll just have to make due.
I think that's it as far as general updates go! Oh yes, and on this coming Saturday, I will receive my Radio Television News Association award/scholarship at the Universal Hilton. Snazzy. My parents are my dates (because they both have been working in LA news for decades and are sure to know everyone there...just like I'll know no one). And hey, it's not like I have anyone else to bring!
Until we meet again, dear readers!
