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.

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!

too many people

So I decided to be motivated today and do some things.  I have a VERY limited time left at home and civilized life with a car and shopping, etc.  I go to school in the boonies next weekend.  I am excited, but will miss home and the advantages it has.  However, I will be so glad to be back at college and be surrounded by my friends again.

So I sized my watch today and got that all taken care of.  I am glad its done.  Check one.  And the lady was very nice, which I appreciated!  I then went on a little drive looking and scoping some things out.  Stopped by work to pick up my pay stub so they didn’t murder me for leaving it there.  Then I headed for the mall.  I took the back way because I wanted to avoid traffic.  It was rainy and gross…and people get crazy when it is like that and lots of accidents occur.  So, I played it safe and stayed out of traffic for the most part.  The mall was absolutely packed.  I drove all the way there, so I kinda wanted to take advantage of it, but there were so many people (who were RUDE and ignorant) so I just decided to get in and get out.  I had to park 03924902384 miles away and then i fought through the crowd to look at Hollister, Gap, AE and Aero.  Hollister was LAME…nothing new…and kinda busy…so I just left.  Gap was nice.  Didn’t see anything (other than thermal tees – YES!) that tickled my fancy…so I moved on to AERO.  It was a MESSSSSSS!  I couldn’t even walk around.  I wouldn’t have went in if I didn’t have a gift card there.  But I couldn’t really look and everything was a mess, so I just left there too.  I stopped by AE and got my sweater vest (yes!) and waited 15 mins in line to pay for it.  REDIC!  Then I figured I deserved Starbucks for all of that…so I got a venti Carmel Frap – no whip to go.  I enjoyed it on my drive home, which I took the back roads again – but a different way.  I got home, helped mom with her digi picture frame.  We ate dinner, ran to wal mart real quick – And the creepies were out!  Came back home and we all watched EVAN ALMIGHTY as a family.  It was a cute/nice little bonding time.  And the movie wasn’t too bad.  I worked on loading all of my pictures to MY digi picture frame during the movie.  I am catching up on blogs (and blogging here), and facebook for now.  Prolly gonna meet up with some ppl later…after all it is a friday.  Oh how I would love to be at school right now.  Probably be a lot more fun than right now, but I am enjoying home.

This weekend we will be doing a few more family things.  I am still working on New Year’s plans.  I have a HUGE to do list that must be done before next friday/saturday when I move back.  Packing, shopping, errands, etc etc etc.  I have to visit some ppl and get some little tasks completed (hopefully this weekend if things work right).  And then I will celebrate 2008 by packing and getting shit ready for school!  woo!

peace until later (probably tomorrow)
