Friends Only

This journal is friends-only for now. Thank you.

Lately everything's been a bit off in my life. For memorial day we used to have bbq's with family and we had one last year even though I was gone but this year everyone just sat around the house depressed and bored out of their minds. It was noticeable ... my little sister complained of boredom every minute and my dad was taking a nap around ( Read more... )

I'm really dying to get out of the house but my grandparents are coming over. And my friend and I were going to go to Palo Alto and I'd love to if only my dad would let me. Since my grandparents are coming over ... that's not possible. It'd have been nicer if my dad went there but that's not likely. Some days I don't mind having relatives come over ( Read more... )

During critique at the paper today, the schedule for new editor position nominations and training was announced. I pretty much have about two weeks, more or less, to make a choice. After everyone left, it was only the copyeditor and the production editor, I talked to the copyguru to find out what his opinions were. Classes suffer a lot when I work ( Read more... )

After calmly checking out the paper's production schedule on one of the boards and checking out my finals schedule, I'm going to see the Strokes on their last tour date in NYC at Central Park's Summestage. i'm fucking crazy and insane but my reasons are totally justified. Last summer before going to my internship in NY, the newspaper company ( Read more... )

I really have not had a chance to catch up, rest and mellow out since last week. For the entire week, I slept probably a grand total of 20 or less hours. And by Friday it was catching up with me. I was yawning all day and had no energy. After the show and late nite dinner at IHOP, I forgot I didn't bring my keys and was locked out. jean didn't have ( Read more... )

I'm probably going to make this a quick post since I just got up about an hour ago and I have to head to school soon ( Read more... )

to study abroad this summer for three weeks. The program is going to study news media and advertising and how it works with a government censored news agency such as Xinhua and how they dispense information or something. The trip is also going to include the climb to the Great Wall of China. Trip isn't all that expensive in my opinion but my dad ( Read more... )

I'm done with SJSU's J-School scholarship application. I've been working on it off and on and today at 5pm was the deadline. It would've been easier if the photocopier in the newsroom was working but it wasn't. And so one of our business office personnel found another way for me to make copies on the fly. I applied for 11 I think scholarships in ( Read more... )

I had a sinking feeling that the first day coming back to the paper from spring break would lead to some confusion or semi-chaos because I was freaking out again over the columns. We couldn't figure out who was writing the column whether we skip or stay on track. I assumed we'd resume the normal track but apparently the columnists didn't think so. ( Read more... )
