The Basic Rundown

Hi my name is Christian, but my friends call me Christian (sorry their not that creative). I am a 22 year-old newcomer to Chico. Yes, this is my first semester here and no I am not a freshman. I transferred from Southwestern Community College located in southern San Diego. It is quite the experience here so far not to mention the dramatic change in climate. I have already experienced more rain here than I probably have back home in a year.

I am currently a journalism major with emphasis in the News Editorial option. I am also in my first semester with the school newspaper The Orion, which by the way has some very solid reporting by some of the most creative people around. I write for the Sports section of the Orion and that is what has undoubtedly drawn me to the journalism family, sports. I used to play a large number of them such as Soccer for 11 years, baseball for 4, football for 2, and I even had small stints in Track, swimming, and even wrestling. I don’t play any of them competitively anymore and so I figured I might as well write about them since they still fascinate me.

I would have to say that my two biggest interests are Boxing and Football. Boxing because it really does boil down into a sweet science and football well I’m American and let’s just leave it at that.

I hope one day to write for a newspaper or participate in broadcasting for either of these sports. I won’t limit myself to these sports they just attract my attention the most. I also follow UFC a lot, but still prefer Boxing because it has a richer history.

In any case I am close to reaching the 300 word limit for this blog so if you have any other questions for me just ask me during class…but not while Professor Burton is lecturing I don’t want to get in trouble, just kidding.

It is probably easy to find me, like my other classes I might be the only Mexican in there.
