pundit, caucus, partisan

i have 3 classes under my belt.  one things has become quite apparent...i need to read the newspaper more.  sure, i consider myself well informed.  but, i have come to quickly realize that i hover above the news and don't often dive into it.  

i know the major fact, the major players.  however, if i was given a quiz on what the main topics were on page 7 of the washington post, i would probably fail miserably.

i am trying to remedy this.  i am bent on becoming a complete news monger.  

it will cost me a lot of quarters and a lot of reading time.  

but, i guess that is all part of becoming an educated journalist.  

i suppose those first grade reading classes are really paying off now.

i was in the advanced first grade reading class...in case anyone doesn't know.
