As it turns out, my next assignment happens to involve going to an exclusive Forza 3 preview event where I'll get to interact directly with key developers from Turn 10 studios and shortly afterwards review the game along with documenting about the overall experience.

My only thought at the moment is "this really happening?" just the other day I was posting blogs for fun and now I'm going in an event as a freaking video game journalist (it sounds so weird to me). I almost feel like I'm not worthy. I wasn't exactly an avid game reviewer yet I landed this gig somehow and while the thought of reviewing games crossed my mind growing up, I was sure I abandoned that dream when I was 15 years old. At the moment my feelings consist of extreme excitement with bouts of nervousness that simply comes from a general lack of experience and not knowing what to expect. I also wanted to post this because I know some people on my friends list have done this kind of thing before. I'd appreciate it if some of you guys could give me some advice from a gamers perspective. Everyone, wish me luck and I'll try to fill you guys in on as much as I can without breaking my contract
