Life of a Journalist

Well I got my first taste of it this past Monday morning.

After a very productive editorial meeting where I was assigned three articles (pause for celebration!! WOO:), I decided to go to every international students favorite study/coffee spot, Paludan. Just as I sipped my last drops of coffee, fortunately, my phone started buzzing like mad. My editor was calling me frantically asking if I "was home" and if I "knew anything about Radiohead," I responded that I was home (lie, not sure why I said that haha) and that I had heard of them but was not particularly a big follower. "Okay then can you be on the KUA campus in 10 minutes because rumors are circling that Radiohead is going to be there promoting their new album."

In my head I sighed "fuuuuuuuuuck" then I hung up the phone, quickly packed up my bag, threw it in my basket and hopped on my bike. It was quite the bike ride. Heart pumping. Swift pedaling. Crafty weaving. It felt like I was driving my car again! All in all I made it to KUA from the central university campus in 7 minutes. As my bike came to a screeching halt in front of the bike racks my phone started buzzing again. I thought it was going to be more information on where I could find the band, but it was just a text from my editor. "No Radiohead. Just some gossip bullshit." Then I proceeded to laugh. Vi ses!
