Raison d’être

I can’t really think of anything useful to write today. I’m stressed out.

I only had one class today. We did layouting in J121 using Adobe Pagemaker 7.0. It was the most fun thing I had to do in class.  Unfortunately, layouting isn’t really a journalist’s job.

It has been a few years since I decided to take up Journalism.  I can’t say it has been my life-long dream but I did have some expectations.  There really isn’t anything specific that I don’t like about the course.  It’s just that, I feel like there’s something missing.  What we’ve been taught so far isn’t the journalism I had in mind.

Undoubtedly, journalism is a proud profession.  Definitely, there is some justice involved…but.. even after so long, I’m still waiting for something.  I feel like journalism, as it has been taught to me, has no heart.  Maybe heart is equated with lack of objectivity.

Maybe I’m thinking too much again.

Still…

I can’t really explain it well, right now.  I’m just looking for something more.  A reason for being a journalist.  Something more than pride.  Something more than justice.
