Shoot his face

I just got my first newspaper assignment. I have to go to the various small towns around the county and ask people their opinions on various topics. Then I have to shoot them in the face. With my camera. I get $5 for each one published. I hope they publish lots of them. This job doesn't pay much.

This presents a huge challenge for me because I'm not an outgoing person. Striking up a conversation with a stranger is not an easy thing for me. Hopefully, "I'm from the Chronicle-Tribune" will serve as a good opening line. Another problem: where am I going to find these people? It's kind of cold outside, so they'll probably all be inside. I'll have to hunt them out.

I must choose to be optimistic. This is not something I can't do. It will be valuable experience.

I'll just keep saying that until the weird feeling in my stomach goes away. Yeah.
