Introduction

Hello Everyone,

My name is Minh Pham and I am junior studying Journalism. I am also working towards a minor in Radio, Film and Television. My ultimate dream is to work for a travel/food show. However, I am quite picky with my food and I feel that would not fair well when being offered "delicacies" by other countries. Whether it be behind the scenes or in front of the camera, I would be happy to just be writing about food. Currently, I work for the ASPIRE Program here at San Jose State Unversity as a Peer Adviser. I love the job because I get to help underrepresented students navigate their way through college. And it pays really well. Oh I'm such a jerk. :]

So I always feel really apprehensive when I write. Reasons being 1) I don't want to offend ANYBODY and 2) I don't want anybody to offend me. But I'm slowly getting over that.

With that said, let's continue with my introduction. I feel a little narcissistic devoting paragraphs to myself, but hey, I've got the excuse of an assignment to make me feel better. I am forever changing my mind on everything from philosophical beliefs to the interior designs of the house I'm planning in my day dreams. I used to play sports in high school but now the only exercise I get is running after the Light Rail. I happily eat up junk t.v. and news. I wish magic carpets really existed so I'd never have to walk around campus (dream big!). I try to read classic novels to find out what's so great about them. I currently get about 5 hours of sleep a day. If you get less than that, I'm truly sorry. It's 2 a.m. I think I'll do my Word of the Week now.

Night folks.
