...Another Brilliant Morning Sky...  I'm sitting at work, and should be working on a paper, but I head a mental road block and figured, why not update here. It has been a while! This is the third week of classes (some of you DCC people ::cough bethie ::cough:: suck because you haven't started yet...err to you, lol). Anyway, my classes this semester are awesome, but hard. I didn't think ahead, and I'm in four communication classes, and all of them require alot of reading (at least 40 pages a night, for each class). Its kind of ridiculous, but oh well. This weekend was a much needed relaxer. After a long week, John made his way here on Friday, to spend time with me, but I ended up helping out with a Campus event all day long. I felt awful dragging him to it. But, he was in good spirits and actually helped us out alot, by setting up and even running one of the sections. We went to Fridays with Ellie and Modi that night, and then hung out at my place for a while. I, being me, fell asleep on the couch pretty early. John left on Saturday after dinner, which sucked, because I wont see him until this weekend. Its one of the negatives to school starting again. Ellie and I ended up having a bunch of people over on Saturday night. I, again, passed out early. I need to work on the whole sleeping thing. Today involved homework on top of homework. [1] Will Stare From a Distance I didn't get the score I wanted, and that sucks, but I'm alright. Ellie and I Plaza'd it up to forget the test, and then I spent the night watching Muppet movies and drinking cocoa, tomorrow I'm trying out some retail therapy.

That's not a "firsts" question. Follow the format goddammit.<--I agree with Ray Somedays all I do is Watch the Sky I was looking at old photos, from highschool and prior, the other day, and realized, I don't remember half of the people in those photos. of those I do remember, I only remember the names of about 20%. Wow... [4] Will Stare From a Distance So my supervisor spotted me on livejournal one day. In an instant, I closed the window, but it was too late. Her only response to me "you're still on livejournal? I haven't had one of those since high school." I guess its best to be thankful my supervisor is one of my close friends and in her mid twenties. With that in mind, I've crossed over to a new darkside...blogger. Feel free to check it out. http://the-unfamiliar.blogspot.com/ Somedays all I do is Watch the Sky I'm bored at work, looking at facebook (as usual), and I feel like I'm letting life slip by. I'm currently working ALL of the time, and when I'm not working, I'm in my apartment or hanging out with John. And don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of being lazy and of hanging out with my boyfriend. I just feel like I've lost connections and opportunities. Maybe its because the last group of friends I constantly hung out with, seperated after freshmen year at cnu (not due to a fight or anything, just different directions of life I guess). And it just seems that everyone has a group of people they constantl spend time with, and I feel kind of left out. I have friends. And I love my friends, but I do have a limited number of them. And an even smaller number who I could hang out with on a regular basis. So when I see photos of group vacations, get aways, and whatnot people my age are doing, while I'm sitting at home or at work, or whatever it is that I do, I feel left out. Does this make any sense? [1] Will Stare From a Distance So, after all of this time, I think I might actually like vista....does that make me a bad person? My laptop AC power adapter decided to kill itself about a week ago, and since I don't want to put any more money into this horrible piece of technology, I'm waiting until I go home to just take my mom's laptop cord from her old HP (we had the same laptop). Since I've been without a computer, John lent me his Dell laptop with Vista and Microsoft 2007. I think I fell in love with this week. And all of this time, I've been stubborn, with my 2003 Microsoft office, and my 1998 version of Publisher. Anyway, I'll be back on my computer on Saturday, and back to my slow processing system, and overheating harddrive, ....bleh [3] Will Stare From a Distance Does anyone here know exactly what they want to do with the rest of their life? Is anyone certain how the future will look? No? Does that scare anyone else out there as much as me? The idea of graduate school has been taking over my entire mind for quite some time now. I know I want to go, but finding just the right one, not to mention finding back up ones if I don't get accepted is another issue. I know I want a masters in Communication that relates to media production and involves media production and theoretical practices. This, though, is easier said than done. Drexel offers a Master of Science in public communication, which covers theory but no hands on experience. Emerson has hands on experience, but only if you go for a Masters in Fine Arts, which I don't want. Hartford offers a pretty good program, but then I would be living in Hartford, and I'm not sure if i want to do that either. American University seems like a great opportunity, MA in Communication: Producing for Film and Video. The only problem there, its intended for working professionals. You have one class for seven weeks at a time that meets only on saturdays. This means, I would have to find a full time job in DC, while attending school. Northeastern has a great program, and I would love to go there. The only issue here would be that Northeastern is a FANTASTIC school, and I probably wouldn't get in. My head hurts from all of this. On top of this, I have to figure out where I want to be in regards to location. I always said I wanted to return to New York some day, but the question is, is now the time for that? If I went to DC I'd be closer to everyone I know and love in VA, but still pretty far from home. If I went to school by NY, I'd be close to my family but away from my life here. This is all too confusing. I need a nap..... Somedays all I do is Watch the Sky Lisa's going to VA beach today because she has the day off! I love the summer! Somedays all I do is Watch the Sky I apologize for my lack of ever updating you on my life... PS - I'm a little freaked out that the nanny is on Nick at Night, when did we become this old... After about three weeks, I've finally finished moving all of my stuff from one apartment to the next. This does not mean I've unpacked it all, but I'm getting there. The new apartment is a complete upgrade from the last, which makes me smile. Most of my photos, posters, and whatnot are on the wall. Two of my frames broke in the moving process, so there are blank walls where they will go. Ellie (the new roomie), seems to be adjusting to a roommate pretty well. And I've succeeded in getting her obsessed with Sailor Moon, and allowing my giant cardboard nightmare cutout to be in the dining room. On the job front, my friend Jenn works in one of the departments at CNU and created a summer position for me, so I could afford to eat and what (i'm a big fan of eating so I love her for that). I spend my days talking to Jenn, organizing the office, and studying for the GRE's. John came by yesterday and we went out with Jenn and her boyfriend Adam to play poker at the bar. It was a free tournament, but everyone there took it REALLY seriously. We got there late, so the guys were at one table and Jenn and I were at another (we didn't last very long - although I was in longer than John). The boys decided to play a side game and Jenn and I spent quality time drinking and gossiping (quite fun). Today I left work early to go to lunch with John and finish packing up the last of the apartment. It was weird walking out of the apartment with nothing in it, empty, as if I never lived there. My parents are coming on Friday to spend the weekend, so I'm excited to show them the new place. Well I'm sleepy and have to be up at 6:30am. Love you all... Somedays all I do is Watch the Sky |
