DSB1 and A little bit about me.

Me:
Ok. Hello, My name's Theresa and I'm a junior and journalism major. I'm pretty quiet, which is weird for a journalism major to be such an introvert, but I think I can get by by focusing on print journalism instead of broadcast. I love writing, reading, learning languages and new cultures. I just moved from Missouri, so everything about Austin is pretty new and exciting to me- especially the way people drive here. I always feel like I'm stepping out into a war zone when I'm driving just because of how crazy it is down here, though, I have heard that Dallas is much worse. As for a little more background information on me, I have a cat named Gemini, he's adorable yet dangerously unpredictable. Also, I have a weakness for books, mmorpgs, Law and Order: SVU, Law and Order (the original version), Necessary Roughness, Suits, White Collar, and of recently Chicago Fire. I watch a fair amount of  TV or play games when I'm not doing homework or looking for job, it's kind of my vice. This is especially true when L&O:SVU is running a marathon on USA. Hmm... Let's see... what else can I tell you guys.... Oh. ok. I've been avoiding Facebook for about a month now. Since I don't have much to do, I got into the bad habit of  ALWAYS going on Facebook multiple times a day out of sheer boredom. In order to fix my addiction I've forced myself into a Facebook Rehab. I'm not a 'Tweeter' a 'Googleplus-er' either... but  I may have to force myself to get into at least twitter for this course...even though I'm pretty much against everything twitter stands for. Well... that's pretty much everything about me. I saw that everyone had pretty much introduced themselves and my poor post was way too boring for my liking, so here I am sprucing it up. I just want to share a few pretty random videos that I personally find amusing and then I'll get out of your hair. I tend to ramble a lot. These are just a few videos which supports my love for SVU, Supernatural, and Ryan Higa... I have a weird sense of humor, but these guys are just hilarious.

 Lab Assignment:
My favorite news sites are probably The Huffington Post, CNN, CSPAN, and Yahoo News. I like grabbing my information from a variety of sites, so I wander around sometimes and casually read articles on different sites when I get bored. I love international news though, so that's normally what I end up reading. Yahoo is more of a search engine, but that's normally where I first pick up top news stories in the beginning of the day. If I want to view more in depth articles, I go to the other sites. But that's about it. Here's a few sample videos featured on some of the sites.
