It is fun to look at the views of others who are studying and doing what I want to do.
Sometimes I think that this may only be difficult for me or that I may not be doing something right. This is why I enjoyed reading Darling, Nestor, and Connor's blog pages. I enjoyed looking at the different angles and ideas on media and the work involved.

Fitness
In the industry I want to work in, it is very important to stay fit. I have been taking this a lot more seriously lately in regards to working out and what I eat.
After looking at blog posts, I noticed Alexis Geffin had posted some different workouts and meals she had been eating. I feel as though I could learn from these!
I also noticed Nikki Rode had a great blog and I loved the title "Strong is Sexy." It's important for people looking to get fit to realize that there is more than being skinny and that is being healthy.
Kelsey Sanchez also had a great blog. She also keeps me motivated when I see her post pictures at the gym.

broadcast journalism. Courtney currently produces,
anchors, and reports for PBS affiliate WUFT-TV and NPR
