Snow still preventing Parking, tickets being issued

http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local-beat/Snow_Tickets_Philadelphia-115076359.html

Everyone that is driving in Philly has noticed the substantial lack of parking on the streets. With little parking available and snow covering the spots that are usually there, with no one around to clean up the snow drifts many people are parking where they can. The PPA is issuing tickets to people who park in front of meters.
It is Philadelphia's responsibility to clean the streets and make it available for transportation and parking. If parking is not available and people are getting tickets for not feeding the meters, the PPA should show lenience for an extended period of time.

Obama to Egypt: 'We hear your voices'

Obama to Egypt: 'We hear your voices'
After all the protests in Egypt, President Mubarak said earlier this evening that he will not seek reelection this september.
U.S. President, Barak Obama addressed the public this evening, stating that no country can determine egypts leaders, only egypts people can. Obama stated "An orderly transition must be meaningful, must be peaceful and it must begin now."
The people of Egypt hopefully will suceed in electing a leader that will have their best interest.

All About Laura Robb

I am starting a blog out of want, need and necessity. 1. I need to do this as a requirement for class 2. I know that it will only benefit my writing and ability to find and get news out to people 3. If I ever get good at blogging, I can use this to my advantage when I begin the job hunting process after college.
So who am I?
My name is Laura Robb, a 23 year old journalism student at Temple University. I was born and raised in southern New Jersey. I am the youngest of three children, and currently reside with my mother and my son. I am the truest example of a non-traditional student. I am a little older than my classmates, and a mother. This makes my drive stronger, but my obstacles far greater than the average student. I work full-time, go to school full time and am a full time mother. My busy life is challenging and exhausting, but succeeding is my only option, not just for myself, but for my child.
I hope to be able to learn what I enjoy writing about as well as further develop my news gathering skills.
I think that all for now. Thanks for reading and please come back soon!
