I've been meaning to send care packages to some of my friends who are at universities. I need to do that soon. I've started making/putting together stuff, but then I get distracted with life. Hopefully now that I have this here I'll remember to finish them.

I've always wanted to work for the Travel Channel. I haven't had the Travel Channel in about a year because the apartment I live in pays for the cable, and the owners don't feel the need to indulge me. But the ten sports channels we get are totally worth it. Right. When we did get the channel I would literally watch it 24 hours a day. I would sleep on the couch so I wouldn't have to leave the tv because I knew something interesting would come on. Anyway, when I was on vacation recently I got to watch it, and I went on their website for the first time in a few months and I saw this link for a "Travel Channel Academy." From what I can tell it's a workshop that teaches people the basics of using and editing travel videos. It's not exactly broadcast journalism, but they do say stuff about being a "travel journalist." There's a workshop thing at the end of October in Santa Barbara, but it costs about $2000. As much as I would love to do this (especially since it might help me get in with the Travel Channel peeps sooner) I'm afraid it's pretty much a multimedia class. When I transfer I'll probably have to take some kind of multimedia class, which won't cost $2000. Maybe one day down the road I'll get the money to attend the workshop.
