Good day.

For a change, today was good. I was legitimately happy, which has been rare over the past month. And more updates about my humdrum life.

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.

Update on my life…

So I haven’t written in a while because I have been uber busy, tired, and consumed with a family emergence.

Some of you may know (maybe I mentioned it in a past update) that I went home last weekend.  It was kind of a spontaneous thing…

Well, Friday afternoon, my step dad had a heart attack and had to go to the ER.  I spent the afternoon there and once he was stable, I went on to visit my dad and sibs.

Saturday morning I went to my sis’s gymnastics meet, went to the mall and shopped!  I got a few new shirts and sweater!  yes!

Well…saturday afternoon and evening was spent in the hospital again and then i left for school early Sunday.  My grandparents brought me back.  IT was the first time they have been to campus…it was nice.

BUT, Monday morning I got a call from mom and she said they were airlifting my step dad to another hospital to do emergency triple bypass surgery because he started to have another heart attack and had some pretty bad blockage.

That shook me up and I have been dealing with that recently.  But, the good news is, the surgery went well…and he is recovering nicely.  So far they don’t think there was any damage…which is good.

But, I am stranded here at school 3 hours from home and not really able to support or visit with my family…and that is difficult.  But, things are improving, and I hope the worst is behind us.

Thats all for now…happy early valentine’s day!
