optimisticality

When I was a young girl studying at the Universitas Bostonius I dabbled in journalism. The thing with journalism, which I figured out after getting several C's on my assignments, is that you have to be "objective". News stories are meant to be factual. I down right sucked at choosing the facts which others would find important. So, I quit. The point is, though, I learned one thing: you could choose how to frame the story to show your opinion in a seemingly subtle way, not giving away your true feelings necessarily, but pointing your reader in a certain direction.

I choose to frame this blogstory optimistically. I will write about the wonderful things in New York that I miss which might be missing from Nepal. Might. Probably. Definitely.
