| ...Do I still have a Xanga? Does anyone read this? Wow. Life is good. I've been spending alot of time with certain people, especially my family. Work just completely drains me, and by the weekend I don't feel like doing much else then sleeping and catching up on all the TV I missed during the week. I miss TV. I also miss freetime. This is about all I get, from the hours of 11pm-1am. And most of the time I do homework. Did I mention I signed on to do another quarter at the paper? This seems like crazy talk because it is the reason I don't have a social life or freetime, but everyone I work with told me they don't think anyone else is capable of doing my job, so I should stay for spring quarter. It's probably true, because I am the greatest copy editor/proofreader EVER, haha. Not really. I just make people think I'm good at it... Umm, I'm thinking about getting my nose pierced again. It was crazy and I liked it, but it got infected probably because I got sick right after it was pierced. dang. I won tickets to see fall out boy in chicago tomorrow, but i can't go. I don't even know why I entered the contest, I guess just to see if I could win. I'm really sad about this. I wish I could just pick up and go for the day...sigh. I write stuff for the lantern sometimes, you should check it out. I wrote this. I also wrote this. Yea. I'm kind of a big deal....haha. If you haven't heard the new fall out boy CD, you should buy it tomorrow. It's really good, and although that might not mean much coming from me, it's worth a listen, really. I think i'm going to go to sleep now. Take care and leave me a comment if you read this so I can see if this actually matters.  | | |
| Ok. Things in my life have been a bit crazy. Here is a brief recap, for those who care or are too bored to do anything else:
1. I have this awesome job at the school newspaper where I have a lot of responsibility and people actually respect and listen to my opinion. But here's the catch - if something gets screwed up, its always my fault. Hmm. Doesn't seem fair considering there are up to 6 other people who made the same mistake.
2. My best friend since 5th grade is married. MARRIED. This means I'm getting old.
3. My break doesn't really feel like much of a break. I have been really busy and exhausted all of the time. Maybe it's because I was stressed/nervous about the wedding, or maybe it's because I pulled 14-hour days 4 days of the week during autumn quarter. It sucks leaving your apartment at 9am then not returning until 11:30pm or midnight each night.
4. My neighbors are playing their music way too freaking loud. I can't even hear myself think. That is ridiculous. I can hear the words from my room. I don't like living in an area with a bunch of rich kids whose parent's pay their rent.
5. Life seems to be going in hypher-speed. This quarter went by so fast - maybe because I was half asleep - or maybe because I'm graduating in the spring. GRADUATING. This also means I'm getting old. I'm not quite ready to grow up yet, or figure out what I want to do with my life. I've been doing research with my political communication professor throughout the autumn, and he approached me about going to grad school, saying that he thinks I would really enjoy it. Enjoy grad school? Maybe. But I need a break from school before I make any such decisions.
6. Christmas is coming up, and I have yet to do my shopping, and I will not be doing said shopping until I get paid Friday.
Yea. I think that's it. The loud music has stopped, so I should try to sleep before it starts again. Comments?

| Dear diary-
Life is crazy. I work too much. I sleep too little. I'm going to keep it up as long as I can, aka, until my body quits on me. I live in the newsroom. Only 9 weeks to go.
Stay classy.

| Wow. It's been almost two months since my last update.
I spend most of my time working, usually about 40-50 hours a week between two jobs, the Lantern and the linguistics office. Even though I work a lot, I've been enjoying myself and I haven't been too stressed.
I'm still in classes for summer quarter, but this is my last week. I finished my science of growing plants class with an A-, which is awesome considering I didn't learn very much and I BS-ed the final. I'm enrolled in comm 423, which is the journalism practicum class, but since I already work at the Lantern and I'm there all the time anyway, it's not like a class to me at all. The only thing I have left for my online art class is the final, which I will take when I get back from California.
My family and I are leaving for California sometime soon, to see my brother and Debi get married in San Diego. I am super excited becuase I haven't been on vacation for a very long time.
I had a whole week off work a couple weeks ago because I had to be hospitalized for colonitis, which is an infection in my colon. It was uncomfortable and painful, but I got my test results yesterday and they said it was from a "self-limiting source," which means it was probably caused by some kind of food-borne bacteria. I'm healthy and much better now though, so I'm happy.
Alex has been spending much of his time with his new band, The Great Transparency. They have been recording from 6pm-6am since sunday, and I got to go down and hang out with them sunday. It was fun, and they are a great group of guys with a lot of talent. I am sad because he is gone alot, but he came up yesterday and surprised me with a visit and some flowers. I'm going to there show on Thursday in Xenia, so that will be fun.
Nothing else exciting to report. Take care, and if you read this you should update your xanga too, because I'm bored and I have nothing to read.

| It's been awhile, so I have a few things to talk about.
I busted my butt this quarter, and ended with a B in political science, a B+ in human nutrition, and an A in my journalism editing class. Overall, I am pleased.
I also recently applied to be the news editor at The Lantern, the student newspaper at Ohio State. I was offered the position for fall and winter quarters, and today was approached to also work in the summer. I am so excited to be able to do this, because not only is it going to look great on my resume, but I also get paid for doing it. woohoo!
I moved into an apartment on campus a couple weekends ago, and our apartment is really nice. I moved in with britta, and it has been fun. It is quite an adjustment for me as I am used to living in a house with 5 other people and always having someone around. I have to get used to being there by myself when my roomie is working and when she has other things going on. I can usually count on Alex for company and entertainment, which is wonderful. I am also adjusting to living with someone who didn't have the same upbringing as I did, therefore not having the same eating and cleaning habits as I do. But overall, all is well in the brit-tina palace.
Yesterday was kind of a crappy day. It just seemed like one thing after another kept piling up and then to top it all off, my ranch dressing disappeared. (For those who know me, you know that I LOVE ranch dressing above almost everything else) But when I arrived home in the late evening I found flowers, reese's cups, a card and a BRAND NEW BOTTLE OF RANCH DRESSING from my wonderful boyfriend! That pretty much made me forget about everything else crappy that happend that day, and even made me feel better when crappy things continued into the night.
I've been enjoying life recently and have been going out and hanging out with people a lot. That is the thing I love about the summer - everyone's home and everyone's bored more then during the school year. I love going out and having a good time. 
Alright, that is all I have to say for now. Take care.
