media autobio- journ 2 class

I really didn't think of myself to be very involved with the media world until this assignment. Media is a big part of my day-to-day life, and I didn't even know it.

1. My main surce of media is the internet. I use websites such as www.myspace.com and www.facebook.com to keep in touch with my family and friends far away. I also use reseach engines such as http://www.bing.com/ and www.google.com to do reseach for school assignments and some everyday questions such as local movie times.
2. My next top media source is recordings. I love music and love to listen to it. I usually download music off the internet directly to my mp3 player, but i also like to get cds. I have an anxiety disorder and I use Music to balance my nerves sometimes.
3. The next on mylist is magazines. I have around thirteen subscriptions that range from Redbook to Readymade. I use magazines to give me ideas on fastion or new topics in photography and interior design.
4. Then would have to be Movies. I don't really watch TV (mostly because I don"t have cable), and so I use movies as my main source for intertainment. I also go to the movies with my boyfriend for our date-night. The magic of the movies always has kept my interested, while TV is easily just a luxury I can live without.
5. Then cmes the Newpaper. I get the Newpaper every Sunday and look through it. I like to use the cupons availible and also look through the sales. I also used the Newspaper as a resource to find a job when I moved here, a job whe my boyfriend moved here, and a place to rent when we decided to live together.
6. With books, it's a love/hate relationship we have going. I love to read interesting books in my spare time, but i have no spare time because I'm too busy reading books I don't find interesting for school.

I plan on being a photojournalist major. I want to get two minors, in photography and interior design, and a masters in Journalism. I plan on tranfering into a four-year school, I just don't know which one yet. My boyfriend is about to open an office for his job and we don't know where that might be yet. But is won't happen until the end of this quarter.
