The beginning is the end is the beginning
Time is flying. I’ve finished up my junior year of college, I’m nearly finished with my job at Connect2Mason, and I’m just about to leave for the Institute for Humane Studies‘ Journalism & a Free Society seminar at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. It’s shaping up to be a great time. I’ll be in the Philly-region from June 4-10 learning about journalism, meeting other libertarians and meeting real, working journalists.
IHS is pretty darn generous. The entire seminar is free, and besides that they are paying for my lodging and my food, all I have to pay for is my transportation (I’m driving).
I’ve recently joined the Facebook group for the seminar and it is fascinating to see what kind of people are coming. There are people flying to the seminar from Africa, Asia, Mexico, Latin America, Canada and the Middle East. It makes me feel so privileged that I am able to just hop in my car and drive a few hours north and bam I’m there.
I’m still waiting on finding out the official start date of my summer internship in Harrisburg, Pa but I am so excited. I’m really hoping to find out this week so I can head up there and take care of my housing. So many things are happening all at once, it’s just amazing.
Although I’m going to miss a few people, I’m so happy that I’ll be away from everything for quite some time this year. It’s a fresh start, and that’s something I’ve wanted for so long now.
Oh, kudos if you got the title of this post! It’s the title of a great Smashing Pumpkins song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxM4EbN9lMY
