Not a lot is going right apart from my internship. I am enjoying it quite a bit more and even had my first front page story (front page of my section, not of the whole paper). Exciting, nonetheless ( Read more... )

I'm officially back in Hart House Chorus, thank goodness... Yes, even in spite of the most horrendous audition of my life where I experienced a personal connection with Fred Savage from the Wonder Years by sounding exactly like him.
