100 facts

On several blogs that I've read I've seen that on your 100th post your supposed to write 100 facts about yourself - we'll I'm now at 150 so here goes!

16) Then I got a D in my first class on that subject and decided that it wasn't for me and my wonderful adviser suggested Public Relations instead.

17) The reason I thought I wanted to do broadcast journalism is because I loved sports and wanted to talk about them on the news - little did I know that this job would also mean never having a life thanks to a rude NBC 4 editor that told us (my class) this my second week of college.
