First Blog, First Post, About Me

Hey my name is Jeff, I'm a Sophomore at San Jose State and I'm currently an Industrial Major, but am taking an art break to take a few classes that intrest me and could lead to a new major. I was born in Washington DC, but I've lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. I work at Village Bistro and Wine Bar on Santana Row as Expo/Server and would one day like would like to run my own restaurant. I spend most of my time cooking, listening to new music, sketching car designs, biking, or watching Yankees baseball or Manchester United football with friends. I tend to follow current events and politics thoroughly and read articles from several sources including BBC World News, Politico, and Times magazine,
I was interested in taking a journalism class because, I have always enjoyed writing as well as staying informed on current issues. I wrote for my high school paper my senior year at Santa Teresa High School and was co-editor for the Automotive section, which a close friend and I established. While I enjoy writing and have some experience, I know little on standard style and formatting for Journalism, which I hope to gain from this course.
