Go Ahead, Get Your Laughs In!

So I took a whole cake from the dining hall on Tuesday. Whats the big deal? It's all you can eat. I was just getting my moneys worth. Those meals are like nine dollars a piece. Who ever eats that much in there? Lets just add this cake to the long but still growing list of other things I have enjoyed courteous of the Carolina Dining Halls:

• Paper cups
• Cereal
• Straws
• Milk
• A whole key lime pie
• Fruit
• Bread
• Red Hot
• Cookies
• A couple of plastic dishes

And Now...

• A Whole White Cake with Whipped Icing and Sprinkles!!

JOMC 101 Post 1

Hello! My name is Brittany Kirby. I am sophomore from Morganton, North Carolina by way of Boulder, Colorado. At first I wanted to be a high school math teacher. Then I took a math class at Carolina and I changed my mind really fast. So after being undecided for a while, I have decided to double major in Journalism with a concentration in Advertisement, and Communications with a concentration in Media Production. By taking JOMC 101 I hope to explore the world of mass communication and in the end, feel more comfortable about my majors. I know I am not the only sophomore who feels like they are scrambling to find a major because college is going by so fast and I still don't have any idea what I want to do when I am all grown up. So now I am supposed to write a few lines about how media has influenced my life. Well, I could go on for days. I thought I didn’t watch t.v. that much, until somebody asked me my favorite shows. I have the t.v. guide in my head. I have to watch For the Love of Ray J on Mondays and Bad Girls club on Tuesdays and I cant forget The Bachelor and American Idol, I love that show, and those are just the reality shows. The hospital dramas, House and Grey’s Anatomy, keep me glued to the television. And I also hate to miss the cooking dramas as well. I probably know almost every commercial that comes on and those really good ones (the Family Guy commercial for example), I say them with the t.v. Yes it is that bad. Getting into radio and magazines will be another day. So, to say the least, media impacts me immeasurably and I only recently figured that out.

My First Post!!!

The reason I started this blog is because it is a requirement for my journalism class titled, Welcome to the World of Mass Communication. Sounds interesting huh? I am very excited about the class, so I might as well have as much enthusiasm about the blog. I was already a follower of my mom's and my friend JPax's blog, and with myspace, facebook, and twitter, it was only a matter of time before I had a blog too. Now I can share with the world about the life and times of BritBrat! This includes MY FAMILY, MY DOGS, MY FRIENDS, MY SCHOOL, AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS MINE! So enjoy it.
