June 11, 2011 (Sorry I missed you in Seattle, Amy)
So my first post will be a copycat of Amy's or something close to that nature (:
Following my finals and a long drive back to the west side, I've been helping my family move into our new home next to neighbors with dogs the size of motorcycles.
I'm a 3.98 student majoring in journalism, English, and communications with a minor in political science. I've worked for The Easterner for two quarters, ending spring as one of two senior reporters. I'll return in the fall as a senior reporter, alongside Kyle Harding, the other senior reporter.
I'll be venturing three classes at Highline Community College beginning June 20 because my mother doesn't believe in a summer vacation without school.
About two weeks ago, I got a job offer from my local paper, The Federal Way Mirror, as a staff writer... I didn't take the job. Last week, I got a call from someone from The Seattle Lesbian asking if I was interested in contributing with no pay; I'm thinking about it.
I can (fluently) speak three different languages, but only write in one... and I love food.

I'm not sure why the first sentence isn't in white. My apologizes.
ReplyDelete(From Amy)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why the first sentence wasn't white either. Stupid computers. I fixed it, but the fix is weird.
Computers are so weird that every time I try to comment, it says I'm anonymous. How many times do I have to sign in?
What's the third language you speak? I know of the other two. (Yeah, I'm totally nosy!)
Why did you turn down The Federal Way Mirror? What have you heard about them? What are they like?
What sort of peices will The Seattle Lesbian want?
Dogs the size of motorcycles? Wow. Wow!
I speak English,Mandarin, Cantonese and a little bit of Spanish. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really count Spanish though, because it comes and goes unfortunately. haha
I turned down the mirror because I thought it would be more interesting (and different) expanding to different newspapers that aren't in the similar demographics of what I grew up with...If that makes any sense.
I'm not sure what The Seattle Lesbian expects as far as ideas and such, but I'm sure it'll still be a fun learning experience.
When you write for them, be sure to post your links as blog entries here! It'll be interesting to see where this experience takes you. It'll boost their hits, too.
ReplyDeleteThey'll think, "Wow, asking Kristie Hsin to write for us was such a great move! Not only did she give us good content, but she draws readership to our site."
