Focus shifted
With reporting out of the way, what's next for Luke Morris?

Now with my video game addiction story out of the way, my focus shifts to my finals. Yeah right. I’m pumped for my summer in Philadelphia.
This summer I will be a copyediting intern The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philly’s largest newspaper.
It’s going to be a weird switch, going from growing up in the 2,000-person Southeast Kansas town of Humboldt to working on the East coast in the country’s sixth most populous city, with more than 5 million people. Lawrence, with a population of 80,000, was a strange enough switch for me.
I’m still a country boy. I’m going from one stoplight in my hometown to one at every intersection. I don’t even know what to expect.
Only one this is for sure – I’m going. I’ve got my plane ticket and housing already taken care of. All that’s left is to survive finals week, explore and adjust, no matter the level of awkwardness.
