I’m changing gears. Last May, Xeni Jardin wrote a post on Boing Boing about a new scholarship offered at Northwestern. Medill was giving full scholarships to programmers who want to study journalism.
Six crazy months later, I became a graduate student. Classes started just after New Year’s, and I’ve been having a blast. The workload is heavy, and I’ve got very little free time for a life outside of class, but I’ve got no complaints.
Frequent readers might have noticed that a few months ago I posted the essay I wrote for my application. The folks who helped me write it were just wonderful. Thanks again, guys!
If you’re a programmer interested in being a journalist, there is still lots of scholarship money left! Go get it! Rich Gordon is the mastermind behind this business. Check out his blog for even more information.
Time to get back to work. Tomorrow morning I start reporting!
It’s (still) snowing
