My Juno Article!!!

So I am really excited! My first article I wrote for my News, Writing, and Reporting class, my first article I've pretty much ever written, for something serious, is in the Spectrum!!! Its in the arts and entertainment section. Its a movie review on "Juno". It actually wasnt that hard to write. I wrote it last week, but completely forgot that it could be in the Spectrum. It feels aweosme to know that people are reading something that I has my name on it. It was even better because they didnt switch too much around. I really like this class alot. Its fun to be a part of this. You write for the Spectrum, and then have a side job for the class like circulation, photography, advertising, etc... Im part of the photography comittee. This class is a lot of work in a short time, but its still pretty fun, its not like a conventional lecture class. The structure pretty much is, we get our topic on thursday, and its due by sunday. Since Im part of the photography comittee, my pictures are due sunday too. But after sunday Im all done with my work for the class. Its pretty easy. Well my break is about to end so till next time! GO PICK UP THIS WEEKS SPECTRUM!

Countdown till Aurburn Brown.

Well... its kind of funny how the week went fast but it feels long because your so tired. Or it could just be I woke up from a nap at like 8 lol... Still this week was really busy and its only the first week back.. it doesnt seem like its going to be easy this semester. So i guess the classes are okay... i dont really have any complaints about my teachers... theyre pretty cool.. its just a lot of work... bye bye life lol... hopefully ill bump into you sometime... lol so anyways i helped my friend apply for a job and on the way back we stopped at a Rite Aid because i have been dying to color my hair, but havent gotten around to doing it... well i finally bought the color... it is auburn brown and im really excited to do it... i wanted to do it the second i came back from the store but i read the directions and it said to wait 24hrs since you last shampooed and i washed my hair last night at 1am so im gonna wait till 1am and do it then.. its a friday night... ill be awake... so tomorrow im going to go to the pack the pitt... should be fun... i remember the last time we played quinnapiac last year there were more quinnapiac fans than sacred heart fans... i think we had a vacation or something... should be fun... I really need to find an internship... i saw one for NBC that i think i really want to apply for... i did my rough copy of my resume.. i just need to get it fixed. badly. i already made an appointment with career development to fix it... i really hope i get one this summer... well im going to go practice some guitar.. later. keep li/oving.

Back in the habit...

So i came back today and unpacked all of my stuff which took about the entire day (not kidding, it included cleaning the room from last years junk)... Im really happy to be back at shu and see all of my friends and talk about our vacations and see what the new haircuts or haircolors people have... its the one thing i noticed everyone does over the break... i gotta admit i got a new haircut too... i want to change my haircolor too but am still debating on the color... anyways... my break was really busy... i worked for half of it, and then went on vacation for the other half... i went to Disney with the school band, which was a lot of fun, we only marched one day and had the rest of the time to do whatever we (Here is a picture of the classic disney castle in magic kingdom) wanted... we also went to universal, which isnt as great as disney... me and my friend went through the park really fast so we decided to go to the movie theater in the park and saw Juno, an amazing movie!!! we also saw most of national treasure 2... we had to leave at the ending so i dont know how it ends... all in all the trip was a lot of fun but really exhausting... we would have to wake up early after a late night just so we got see and ride everything we wanted... after disney i went with my best friend and her family to key west the day after i got back... that was amazing!! i rode a jetski (not very well... got the new nickname red light green light..ill let you figure that one out for yourselves...) the food was amazing down there, especially the seafood!! i tried a bunch of new foods and earned another nickname when i eat.. the silent assasin... apparently i eat my food fast and quiet like an assasin going for a kill lol...(heres a picture of a really huge sailboat that was docked near where we stayed... i thought it was cool...) key west is a really awesome place to go on vacation... the weird thing about key west is that there are roosters EVERYWHERE! they are like the deer in the norheast... you can hear them all over... they will walk in parks, docks and sidewalks like squirrels do... heres a picture of a rooster in a market area... there were chickens around too... soo all in all it was a pretty productive vacation... now that im back its awesome to see my friends but im not so thrilled about going back to class... i have 9:30 classes tues-thurs and have back to back all three days so i dont end till 3:15/4:00 on those days cause my classes are blocked... majority of media studies classes are blocked because its the easiest way to teach the class...im also claing a class this semester that i was waitlisted for so im really excieted for that... should be fun... well going to sleep now since i have my early class tomorrow... hopefully its just an intro day... till later. Keep li/oving.
