The first few lines of a group presentation I had to sit through in accounting was ... "we're going to talk about a disease that affects everyone." Yipee. Nope, it's not obesity, it's AFFLUENZA. It's a disease that everyone is mildly afflicted with if that's the correct word ... where we are obsessed with consumption of things such as clothing, ( Read more... )

I've been putting my summer internship plans on hold for too long because of school, the paper and sheer laziness. Part of it was fear of not knowing how to approach these small newspapers when I call them about an internship. But no laziness today. After my writing class ended early, I went straight to the phones at the paper and started calling ( Read more... )

hated yourself for one mistake and never forgiven yourself? Or have you ever felt like nothing you did could please or satisfy those whom you work with? Today is one of those days for me ... from having one writer completely blow off one story I assigned to some other management type issues I'm having.

I decided I wasn't going to go on a diet diet per say for my new year's resolution because it's impossible. I've already altered my eating habits significantly but my aunt had to come out and tell me I look like I've gained weight. She tells me the weight gain is noticebly showing in the clothes I wear. That did wonders for my self esteem and ( Read more... )

I had a discussion yesterday with a few people and apparently my LJ entries need to be edited or taken off. If you don't like what you read then go somewhere else and don't read it. Simple as that. Don't read if you don't like the content. I don't allow people to read my LJ entries before I post and I'm not going to do it in this situation for ( Read more... )

I made a small improvement in the way I'm balancing my schedules and the paper. I actually ate three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lunch was late around 3ish but it was a big step forward even if it was just yogurt because I normally skip lunch and dinner. I brought some food my grandma made me and ate dinner around 7 ish. Not that I feel ( Read more... )

A few of my classmates and I volunteered to be the first group to give a presentation as part of our group project for managerial accounting. We planned on meeting at 10am but it was too early for me so I emailed them and asked for 11am. I get one reply saying it was okay. Closer to the time we're supposed to work on the project, I still get no ( Read more... )
