I'm beginning to understand just how much being a journalist excites and scares me at the same time. Editing and Writing gives me a stomachache every Tuesday at about 9:15pm, as I start double-checking my names and facts. The infamous Medill "F" frightens me - not because of the grade, but because of the idea. The only reason to get one is laziness ( Read more... )

Hell has broken loose.

I went to the gym.
Even scarier - I think I'll go back.

That's all - that's all there is left in this school year. Not very much time at all and so much left to do. And by do, I mean catch up on ( Read more... )

There is NO place like Nebraska ( Read more... )

Surprise update from Ohio: nationals are going as well as I expected nationals to go - tomorrow will be the killer with three L-D rounds and only one of prose. However, when I get done tomorrow, I'll only have one L-D round left unless I break. I've learned so much this year, but I'm still eons behind all those who did debate in high school (Me: ( Read more... )

So there's this neat new thing at the beginning of each quarter, called free time. I don't think I've met it before, however, it seems nice enough. In excess, it is easy to see how it could become a harmful quality but for now, we are getting along just dandy. I think I've once again lost those nifty little Nebraska phrases I use and receive funny ( Read more... )

Spring break was brilliant - saw TONS of people that I haven't seen in far too long. My Ellie is safe and sound, free from the Air Force and able to put her life back in order. Michelle and I fell back into place without missing a beat - often I forget how much I really value the unique ability we have to fit back together so naturally. I think we ( Read more... )

I'm baaaaack...I really do like coming back. This is still my room; it still has my stuff, still smells like me and gives me a place to hide out and listen to really loud country music and dance in front of the full-length mirror. Ok, so I do that at school too, but people here are used to it and there's no roomie to walk in and give me an odd look ( Read more... )

Back to it again, even though I should be sleeping/packing/finishing studying ( Read more... )

Study break as I try to understand the differences between monetarists and keynesian policies...whoa. I believe that's all I have left - a whoa or maybe two. I am completely surrounded by econ papers, thanking my stars that two finals are done and my paper was handed in at 5:00, and all I can think about is how lucky I am. Between now and next ( Read more... )
