Just another WordPress.com weblog. Newer posts →. A Big Girl Job. March 6, 2011. So I’ve finally taken the plunge into adulthood. I’ve been hesitant to write about my sudden good fortune and life change over the sheer concern of failure. A little over a week ago I was accepted a full-time web reporter position at the Observer-Dispatch. In Utica, New York (UTICA BRANCH, WHA WHA! I’ve already found a place to live…for the time being. It’s with another working professional and student&...And so, in conclusi...

While I occupied PA… | Road Less Traveled
https://amandafries.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/while-i-occupied-pa
Just another WordPress.com weblog. While I occupied PA…. October 31, 2011. It always feels good to go home. The familiar faces, sights, sounds, smells. And my favorite part, as always, is seeing my boyfriend: Philadelphia. It’s my longest relationship ever, and since we split in March, it’s been tough. Hundreds of tents circle around City Hall in Philadelphia as part of the temporary homes as well as meeting places for working groups for Occupy Philly. This can only be a sign of what was discussed in a f...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Struggles with being the newbie. The humbling experience →. An ode to a publication dear to my 3. April 21, 2011. I want to digress from my usual posts, and take some time out to recognize an alternative weekly publication that never ceases to amaze me. I currently have my favorite cover story hanging up in my cubicle at work: “Coatesville is Burning”. By Mike Newall and Doron Taussig. It was written in September 2009. Doesn’t cover suicides, as I’ve mention...By Andrew...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. An ode to a publication dear to my 3. While I occupied PA… →. May 9, 2011. Within the last week or so, I’ve had to cover several stories that were devastating. I’ve had to interview people who’ve had heart-wrenching stories to tell. Some of which brought me to tears. When I finished my work-week up Saturday evening I was mentally drained. In one day I’d gone from reporting on coverage of a devastating home fire. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. You are commenting...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Things aren’t always as they seem…. Struggles with being the newbie →. 8220;I’m not a has-been, I’m a will be” Lauren Bacall. April 5, 2011. I’m officially going on my fourth week at the Observer-Dispatch. They have since changed my times and days; I work the late shift now. And I still feel trapped by my own self-consciousness. Has he seen the documentary Super Size Me? Did I mention he scoffed at V for Vendetta? In particular the part where Natalie Portman’s character...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. 8220;I’m not a has-been, I’m a will be” Lauren Bacall. An ode to a publication dear to my 3 →. Struggles with being the newbie. April 17, 2011. As many of you know, normally I welcome new and challenging obstacles. They’re like ‘a breakfast of champions’ of sorts; hot cereal with apples or strawberries, sprinkled with a bit of sugar because otherwise, let’s face it, it’d be pretty bland even WITH the fruit. An officer who came over and told me the chief wouldn’t b...
