not to join

There’s nothing interesting to write, but I did anyway; the reason for this entry is that I need to organize my thoughts in joining the school paper.

Two people persuaded me to join, I’m not really sure if I will but if I do, well, a cartoonist will be a perfect job to apply. They also wanted me to do the work of writing a column; they say that I don’t need to write two whole pages or what, just the informative.  Unfortunately, I wouldn't dare for the fact that I don’t know how to “write”. I know I write blog entries but it doesn't make any similarity on how to write a column just like in a newspaper, furthermore, I don’t have that kind of skill of searching facts AND I don’t have enough time to go the event and cover the whole story.

I also realize that joining as a cartoonist is useless, well maybe not because all I have to do is scan and edit but I lack the tools. To be a cartoonist, one must have tools to hone its skill, especially the passion of painting, never mind the talent. The sad thing about me is that I have the talent, I only lack skills, trainings etc. aside from tools (mediums, pens, papers, Adobe, scanner etc.).

I don’t want to be pessimistic or anything, it’s just that sometimes, I don’t have any single interest in joining the group, true it’s tempting, but if I joined, what will be the reason to stay? The eagerness to work and the sacrifices that has to be made as a full pledged member?

Other than that, I still have lots of responsibilities to amend and problems to solve aside from studying college.

Oh hard life, sometimes  you deprived me of enjoying it.
