I don't even want to talk about last week. Let me just tell you - it was horrible, each and every day, up until about last night when I went to bed at 11 p.m. There were a few moments of relief - having my conference with Carol, decorating the office with Nate, chatting on the phone with Tara and DJ - but everything else was either stressful, ( Read more... )

Horrible day #2.

(I'll tell you about it if you ask, but I don't really want to post about it... sorry!) :-/

I don't think I had a very good day yesterday. :(

I didn't get very much sleep, and then I woke up, later than I wanted to, feeling rather sick. I couldn't pay attention at all during my international politics class, and it was stuff that I don't really understand, so I needed to be listening. I'd planned to go see one of my professors at noon ( Read more... )

I wish very much that I did not have such a hard time talking about myself. There are people whom I want to know me personally and not just as an acquaintance/classmate/co-worker. I want them to know things about me, I want them to know what makes me me. I'm very good at keeping up small talk and talking about very surface issues, but I have the ( Read more... )

Friday night Liz and I went to our sorority's girls' night, and it was actually a lot of fun! They were doing facials, and nails, and hair, and makeup and girly stuff like that. I didn't expect to really enjoy myself... I'm not really one for much primping. But it was fun! I've never really hung out with some of them out of the business meeting ( Read more... )

I'm going to the Echo soon. I need to put some finishing touches on the project I was working on yesterday down on the newsroom computers that have InDesign. You know how long I was down there yesterday? From about one in the afternoon until almost eight o'clock. I was there for almost seven hours. Seven!!! That means if I had tried to do it ( Read more... )

Okay, I just have to share. I had to go to the Undergraduate Symposium this morning for my International Politics class, and I ran into one of my classmates. We had gone to the same presentation and ended up chatting after it was over. Turns out he had been a little late and hadn't heard the presenter very well, so he didn't think he had enough ( Read more... )

I'm watching MSNBC's coverage of the Vatican right now (thanks to the series of comments left on Lauren's latest post). It's all so sad! I don't want the pope to die. :( I can't believe the intense dedication of all the people holding vigil in St. Peter's Square (there were 70,000 present at one point). Well, I mean, I can believe it, it just ( Read more... )

I know multiple entries in one day can be obnoxious, but I only have about 20 minutes left before work, and I don't really want to start a homework assignment. I don't know... maybe the fire drill we just had ruined my potentially productive mood. Or maybe I just wanted to blame it on something else. :)

Does anyone else ever wonder who they'll ( Read more... )

I'm waiting for my phone to charge so I can call Sarah and Kurt's friend, Corey, and talk to him for my feature story (a feature story whose draft is due tomorrow). I was talking to Tara earlier and used up all my battery! (I'm not very responsible, I know... shoulda planned ahead ( Read more... )
