To properly introduce myself I must first announce that this is my first experience with blogging and I’m not too happy about it. I could say that I don’t have the time or that I don’t care to share my boring thoughts but to address that journalism’s first obligation is to the truth I must admit that I have an inexplicable fear of such communication. I’m not a journalist but I am taking Civic Journalism with Rob Williams at Burlington College and am therefore beginning this blog. I have never had a MySpace or a facebook, I’m not reliable with email and two weeks ago I witnessed Rob’s world of Twitter and almost had a heart attack- so bear with me. The photo above is of me and my broken laptop.
My name is Josey Ellis and I’m from the mountains of North Carolina. In 2009 I fell in love with Vermont on a southbound thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and moved to the Old North End in the summer of 2010. I study documentary at Burlington College but this is not my first go at a career pathway (I have studied at Penland School of Crafts and at UNC Asheville and even at the JY Monk Real Estate Training Center). I work at a boutique on Church Street but spend more time at Uncommon Grounds with my yerba mate than I do at work. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and it shows.
