I could say that I'm a 21 year old Writing Arts student here at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.
I could add that I'm taking up a minor in Journalism and preparing myself for the rapidly approaching, frighteningly real, and scary situation that will be me in the workforce in two years time.
I could also say that I live on campus, have a home and a family in Mt. Holly, have 3 younger siblings, a pet, 2 goldfish, and a bed that absolutely loves me.
But that's all surface stuff.
The real me loves nothing more for lunch than 2 slices of white American cheese on grilled bread coated with hot jalapeno bell peppers and chips on the side.
I'm certified compulsive with downloading new music and stretching my itunes library to the breaking point.
I also read a hefty ton of books in my free time. I'm able to spend countless hours in a bookstore, drink lots of coffee, and impulsively buy books that I know I'll never get the time to read.
(It's why I work at Borders when I am at home over breaks)
This blog will be here for me to post and write about all things that have to do with copy editing.
On the side, I have a personal blog here that I've somehow maintained since I started it way back in 2003.
This is what I've grown up doing. I kinda like it. And I'll probably always be writing something somewhere (at sometime) for someone some way or another.
But COPY EDITING.
It's what I'm going to learn. And after being raised by my mom who made me read the Scrabble dictionary and know Strunk & White from the womb, I have a lot to live up to.
But that's all side stuff.
For more than you'd ever want to know about me, my other blog is the place.
And that's all you really need to know. I'm pretty predictable. I like predictable things. I like structure, organization, and above all, I like my sandwiches with American cheese.
