Getting Started

My name is John William Connolly, but most of my friends call me Will. I am a junior at the University of Northern Colorado. My major is journalism and my minor is English. I plan to one day be a famous movie critic for a prestigious newspaper or magazine.

I am taking a course called JMC352 Reporting Contemporary Issues in which our class will be covering a variety of different topics involving the Greeley City Council. Our class will attend a number of city council meetings. We will be asked to interview both experts and actors (everyday people) about their opinions following the meetings. I have never personally witnessed a city council meeting and am very excited to see the happenings of next week's meeting.

I plan to learn a lot from these city council meetings, as well as to grasp a better understanding of how the government process works.

I am very excited to start blogging because I have always wanted to have a place to write down and publish my thoughts. I am confident in the fact that I think that I am a moderately adequate writer and can articulate my thoughts quite easily. Blogging is different from any other college assignment I have been assigned because it is automatically published, and therefore you must make sure you don't have any mistakes or typos before publishing your thoughts. I think that I will thoroughly enjoy blogging and will continue to do so long after this class has concluded.
