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.

taking care of business…

So I don’t have Friday classes this quarter, and I love it.  I slept in and ran errands all day and then got some reading done.  I am slowly, but surely getting caught up on work.  I have a ton more to do, but I am making progress.  I am going to work all afternoon and a good portion of the evening today on work to be in good shape for next week.  If I get it all done before monday, then I will be cleared for a good week.  Of course there are still tons of assignments that will fall on me agian as soon as I get caught up.  That’s college

Last night I went out with my friends.  It was a blast.  Thursday night we went dancing in the club.  Tonight I am not sure what I am going to do.  I have a few options, and the day is still too young to decide what I will feel like doing.  None-the-less, I hope I have fun.

PS:  I notice that my Dell Tech Support Story is the entry with the most hits.  Its funny to me.  I get a kick out of seeing the number of times it has been read.  Crazy.

Until later…take care and BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Christmas Parties

Last night’s festivities at my house went well.  It was a lot of fun visiting with everyone.  Good food, fun times, and some gifts!  w00t!

Today I am driving (in hurricane force winds) to my dad’s house to visit them.  It has been over 2 weeks since I have seen them last.  i will visit with my bro, sis, and the dog while I am there.  Fun.

Then, we are going to the HUGE Christmas party on my step mom’s side for dinner.  Don’t expect many updates until after christmas…things are busy.  BUT, do continue to check back, leave comments, etc etc.

So today is my family Christmas party…at my house. We are expecting 30 people…give or take. Hopefully it goes well. My mom is all stressed out about it and always makes such a production out of it. That, in turn, pisses us all off because she freaks out the whole day about nothing, then she gets this attitude and EVERYONE ends up pissed off by the end of the day. JOY! I can’t wait…

BUT BUT BUT, I am excited for food, family, lots of home cooked sweets and such. I will probably gain 5pounds today alone. ick. AND, my break workout is failing miserably. I haven’t lost ANY weight…probably just gained more. What can you do? lol. Hopefully winter quarter I will make it to Ping and loose some bear fat. gross.

Sorry I did not blog/video blog last night. I came home from work and did a few things, ate some dinner, caught up on online schtuff and then at 9:00 I got the urge to bake and cook. So, I make sugar cookies (with misc shapes of holiday figures). I made the batter, rolled them out, cut them, baked them, and then iced them after they were done cooling. I also make scotceroo’s. My absolute favorite thing ever. So, I made a double batch (because I could and I am good like that). I am proud of myself for knowing how to do all of that stuff on my own. I will have you know that the rest of the family decided to sleep and NOT help me/partake in the holiday spirit…so I did it myself. (and in case you were wondering – Scotcheroo’s contain about your yearly allotment of calories…could explain why I am so obese).

So, I did dishes, cleaned up, watched the soup and went to bed. No time/energy to experiment with the Vblog. Maybe some other time.

However, the next few days will be busy for me (as I suspect it will for all of you). I will be visiting my Dad tomorrow and then monday and tuesday are packed with events as well. I will try to blog when and if I can. Stay tuned!

EDIT:

PS:  annie lennox’s “walking in a winter wonderland” is quite possibly my favorite song of hers.  It is so “eurythmics” and her style.  It makes me laugh…a wee bit.

However, not quite as good as “Sex Crime”.  You tube that shit for a kick ass music video!
