Stranger: Hello. What’s your name?

Me: My name is Carlos. What about yours?

Stranger: My name is Cooper, nice to meet you. What do you do for a living?

Me: I am currently a student at Cerritos College and working at a restaurant.

Stranger: That sounds really cool. What are you going to school for?

Me: I am a Journalism major and currently on staff of the school newspaper as the
Sports editor. What about you? What do you do?

Stranger: I’m a nobody, I’m just a bum who lives at home and just plays video games.

Me: Well that sucks, I’m in my last semester at Cerritos College.

Stranger: That’s really cool, tell me more about yourself.

Me: Well I’m planning on transferring to school in Arizona. I want to be a sports writer one day for a major newspaper, or even be on ESPN.

Stranger: Arizona? Isn’t that in the middle of the desert?

Me: It is, but it is not too bad, it is really nice around there. Everything seems very new.

Stranger: Well that’s interesting; I have never been there. I would like to visit one day. Journalism sounds like fun, I like sports and I like talking to people. I think I will get my butt out of bed and start going to school.

Me: It is really fun doing it. What kind of sports do you like?

Stranger: I like everything but basketball and football are my favorite sports.

Me: Awesome! Those are two of my favorite sports too! You really need to get out of your house and explore the world!

Stranger: I think I will, you have inspired me to live my life! Thank you!

Me: You’re welcome, have a good life!

Stranger See you on ESPN! Bye!

In Tuesday's class we got together to look at each others Storify account.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the site, it just all seems to complicated to me.

It is great to use for the people that like to know how to use it.

Twitter has to be the biggest site we're using, it allows everyone to interact with each other.

Most news is broken first on Twitter nowadays.

Make sure you all keep updating your blogs!

Today In Multimedia Journalism and Reporting, we learned about the website Storify.

Storify allows to put together a news story using sources from Twitter and Facebook.

My group is to do a news write up on the UC and CSU budget reform in California presented by Jerry Brown.

Community Colleges are also being affected, which is an attempt to help the state's economy.
