I'm now an award-winning journalist! The Texas Intercollegiate Press Association (TIPA) has recognized me with an Honorable Mention for a Feature piece that I wrote for the Observer. Back in late February or March, I received a Second Place award for editorial writing from the Press Women of Texas (PWT).
Sadly, I'm not sure which pieces were so honored. I won't know until later this month, and unfortunately I won't be in the States to receive the awards in person. (Hopefully I can get someone to pimp the site for me: "Justin isn't here to receive this award because he's pursuing his calling in Ecuador, where he owns and operates QuitoPulso.com, an independent English-language Internet news service." But I digress.)
I am an idiot, unfortunately. However, I'm very lucky to have really amazing friends. Since I didn't bother to pick pieces of mine for submission for these competitions, certain very good friends (you know who you are) picked up the slack and submitted on my behalf.
Send lawyers, guns and money,
J.
