Tip of the day…

Hold yourself accountable for things.

This is the situation:  My grades from college were due a week ago…well…after much delay they were finally released, etc.  BUT BUT BUT one of my professors decided that he was above the law and didn’t record the grades for the ENTIRE class.  So this means I have a big fat NR on my grade report and an incomplete record with the registrar for this quarter.  So obv I am pissed and upset.  So i spent a ton of time on the phone with some bitch at the office and she tried to make it my fault…which it isn’t.  I earned an A+ in the course and was finished with it before exams even started…so not my fault…esp when the whole class doesn’t have grades.  I also realize that its not exactlty here fault either…but FACULTY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR JOB/ACTIONS/ETC.  So….when grades are due and a professor does not turn them in…I would only think/hope/whatever that the registrar’s office is concerned and gets on the phone to try and see what the hell is up.  But nope, not where I go to school.

So now it is a waiting game.  That professor may be spending the whole summer being drunk at his home in Massachusetts…or he could bust his balls, do his job, and report my grades.  SOB!

So…I could potentially be left off of the dean’s list for this quarter because he didn’t turn them in in time.  BARGLE.  If that’s the case…fear the wrath of crouts.

yay for update!

Its been so so long, but I am finally getting around to updating.  Its more out of boredom than anything.  Summer sucks for me for a multitude of reasons.  I am at home…with the rents…living here away from school, friends, fun, etc.  I don’t have a social life and I am already going insaine.  I don’t know how I am going to go another two months!  Lots of emergency trips to Athens are in store.

On another note, I have started my internship.  I love it so far.  I have just been watching for now…which is fine and needs to be done…but I really want to start doing things.  Seeing how a REAL newsroom and production takes place has definately inspired me.  I know this is what I want to do.  Its exciting…no day is the same, etc.  For instance…on my first day there was a plane crash that sent the newsroom into breaking news mode and sparked a lot of excitement.  It was neat to see and be a part of.  I want to be a producer now I have decided.  Its much more up my alley than being a reporter and infront of the camera.

I have also been working at the greenhouse again.  Although they aren’t giving me a whole lot of hours and i am not on the schedule.  It kinda bums me out.  I was excited to go back there and work…and I NEED the money.  I am poor right now and I dont like it one bit.  Boo!.  Nonetheless I am harassing them to give me hours in the blistering heat doing stupid stuff.  Why do I keep that job?!?!?!

I have successfully moved back home from school and I made the transition quickly and easily.  I put away all of my stuff and stowed it away for the fall.  I just really want to keep busy with the internship and the working so i can stay busy, out of trouble, not spend money, and make some.

I will be leaving this Sunday morning EARLY for Asheville, NC.  I am going with my family on vacation to Biltmore area and doing that as well as some of the nature things.

That will take up some time…and then it will be the fourth of July time when I get back.  Hard to believe that so soon, but I am excited.  I love the fourth…and then summer will be progressing nicely.  I will maybe pick up a few more days at the internship to keep me busy and do some freelance landscape work.  I have a client I could work for now, so I think i will take advantage of that so I have some income.

Well buddies…thats it for now…I’ll update when I get back from vaca.

PS:  You should alllllll check out the NEW COLDPLAY ALBUM:  Viva la Vida.  It is amazing and I am a fan!

PPS:  I am still in love with DC…and I am trying to intern there next summer.  More to come…wish me luck.

I need to update…

Lots going on…lots to write about…just busy/lazy right now.

I’ll try soon.

Stay Tuned!

Ding ding, doors closing.

I am back from my weekend trip to Washington, D.C.  It was fab.  I loved it.  Had a great time with my friends in the city…and I especially loved the metro.  I am somewhat obsessed with it.  Check out all of my 6 albums (330 pictures) on facebook from the trip.  We did a lot of walking and a lot of sightseeing.

We stopped at the capitol building (inside tour), botanical garden, washington mon, white house, the smith, the aquarium, national archives, china town, etc etc etc.  It was a great trip – and I got to see a ton.  I wish i could have seen more though…only so much of that HUGE city you can see in a days time.

I really enjoyed my trip, I scoped out a cool neighbor hood I would live in, and now I am looking at interning there sometime soon.  LOVED IT!

School is almost done for the year…I’ll blog more when I get settled back at home.
