Workin' Hard for The MONEY

This weekend was pretty packed full of things to do. Friday I had a typical day and got home a little bit earlier from the gym because I got out of Nes 7 early. I had some of the girls over before the banquet and then listened for 3 hours to awards and what not. It was faster this year than most... Unfortunately while eating I dropped a bit of stuffed shell on me and was wearing a white dress, so Jesse brought me a news dress and THANKFULLY I got the stain out. Today and yesterday were pretty much repeated days. Most of my friends were at a wedding yesterday so I worked for 6 hours painting and what not in the new office... Then I went back today and did about 4 hours. Luckily I'm getting paid or else I'd be a very unhappy camper. I don't mind getting dirty, but when it comes to dust and the smell of paint I leave congested and with a headache. For the rest of the afternoon I'm going to watch the Sox game and probably shoot over to the Green Mountain Mall because I need to get somethings for one of my bestestess who turns 21 tomorrow.... She and I were the last.. and now i'm the last :*( Pitty party for me...

I think I've Lost my Mind

I got to school and was having a really good day. I watched Angels in America again in class and it's so facinating. It gives you a comical way of approaching really serious things so that the movie inspires you, yet upsets you. Afterward I forced myself to go to the gym and to top being lazy. I felt a lot better after I did it. So, at this point I took my gym shoes off and put them in my back before I ran into the bagel depot to get some lunch. When I got home Jesse and I had some lunch and I did some work for the project I had to do this afternoon. I decided I wanted to head back to school a half hour before painting so I could hit the snack bar, check my mail and do some more work on the project. But, silly me misplaced my keys! I looked high and low, under the coach cushions, tore apart my bed... empty and reloaded my bag nine times, they were no where. So, I decided maybe as positive as I was they were in my bag maybe they fell out and were locked in my car... They weren't there. So after a mini-breakdown and an hour and half (missing painting class) of searching I looked through the closet where I had been folding clothes and somehing shiney caught my eye.... Inside of my left sneaker were my keys! They had fallen into my shoe... UGH! After I finally found my keys I headed up to do my project which went really well the down to the office to do some more painting. Now I'm finally home and just getting to dinner.... YUM!

Gobble Gobble

Today was just like any other Wednesday, classes News 7 yada yada... Although I did something completly out of character for myself, I did a story on hunting! Now going to school in Vermont was a drastic change for me in many ways, weather, scenery, people count... But another thing I had to get used to was the "sport" of hunting. I've always seen stalking and shooting at animals as semi-inhumane, but I have a lot of friends who do hunt and I love them just the same. I've had some heated debates but I've never been one to push my thoughts onto somebody else, they think what they think and I think what I think it shouldn't come between us. So, ironically I saw a friend/hunter in the hall way today and told him I was looking for a story to put on the News tonight and he joyfully told me that Turkey Season opens tomorrow and I should do a story on it. So I put my feelings aside and decided to learn about hunting and gain some knowledge so I wouldn't be ignorant to the subject and unfairly biased. I called up the Weighing Station in Lyndonville, which happens to be the local sport shop and set up an interview. After a long day and being silly shooting things in the story my fabulously awesome photog and I decided it would be funny to encourage my rediculousness and he agreed to shoot a stand up of me dressed in all camo. So we came up with a witty stand-up and shot it and put it into the story. It was EPIC!! I was so happy with it, it brought some life and fun into the story as well as News 7... My work here is done!

rainy days :*(

So today was a really weird day weather wise. I woke up early and tossed and turned so I decided I mine as well get up and get going. I got ready for class and headed their a little early to prepare for my infamous Finder Binder Quiz. It went well, I had all the information this time and organizing it last night helped things go by a bit smoother. After I finished I got out of class about a half hour early so I headed to the snack bar for a caffine boost and chatted with Doc for a bit in the hall before my other class. In class we were going to watch A Raisin in the Sun, a play read previously in the semester. The DVD was broken when our teacher received it from NetFlicks and the library didn't have it. So we wached Angels in America, well part one, it's a play that we used last semester in acting class. Borrowed a few scenes and acted them out. The movie was interesting, I wish I had read the play before I began watching the movie, but maybe I'll read i after where done. In between classes I came home for some lunch and did some work on my collage due tomorrow. It was such a rainy day it icky it didn't bring a lot of motivation up to par. I stopped to get gas before class, since gas is so expensive my goal is to never let it get more than a 1/4 missing because it's scary to see how much half a tank costs. I know in the long run it'll be paying the same amount but it feels better seeing smaller numbers at the time. After I headed to painting. finished my painting, saw it turned over to SNOW and decided to leave and go home. I've been putting around the house ever since and I'm going to relax and read my new cosmo!

One Less Monday Left of School

After a pretty relaxing weekend I knew getting back into things may be a little slow, but putting rainy, icky weather on top of that really doesn't help. It was a gray day in the NorthEast Kingdom and everyone was clearly depressed and missing the 80 degree sunny weather were spolied with for a week. Either way I managed to get to my classes and feel I was productive in some sense of the word. Then I got to News 7 and stories fell through and I was sort of lathargic to get back on the horse and keep trying so I did a few readers and a VO for the red sox game yesterday. I also practiced some editing with it so it wound up being fun. Afterward I went to the gym and did a decent work out. I felt the burn, lets just say that. Now I'm home and I plan on relaxing and organizing my finder sinder for class in the morning!

It's the Freakin' Weekend Gonna Have me Some FUN

Yesterday was typical Friday, school News 7 and home! However, on the way home I picked up a stray named Krystle and she came over for a while and played guitar hero before Jesse and all his friends came back and pretty soon the living room was full of noise and laughter. It was a pretty interesting night and it was good to see Jesse's freind from school. After a long night, I headed to bed. I woke up extremely early this morning and brought Krystle to the bank to cash a check. After I dropped her off I cleaned the house for almost three hours. We we're expecting Jesse's family over later on and the house was in need of some Spring cleaning anywho. It was a pretty relaxing day, took a walk around town by myself while he met his brother, Mom and sister and then we had lunch and played some video games and what not until dinner time. We got Chinese for dinner and just sat and watched TV while eating. Soon it was 7:30 and Jesse's brother headed back to school and his Mom and sister to the hotel for bed time. Overall, I'm pretty tired right now and am almost ready to call it a night.... But who knows maybe a trip to Wally-World is in order................

Easy Breazy

I woke up today and headed to class, seeing as how I didn't have bake a cake or anything! When we got there we just discussed the play and the time period and tried to understand a bit more about Sam Shepard and his logic behind writing Curse of the Starving Class. I guess I was quiet for most of the discussion because I am partial to a character who most dislike so I didn't want to seem like I was playing the devil's advocate, which I wound up doing anyway! After class I came home and ate the left over salad I made for Jesse's birthday dinner last night, a bit soggy but still scumptious, the dressing I made was so tangy and interesting I love it. I hung around a bit, watched some E! News and read US Weekly... I love my celeb gossip, plus it's cheaper than buying Cosmo. After a bit I headed back up to school to do some more work on my finder binder then went over to painting. I'm finishing up the light house I'm working on and for my final project I want to paint something along the lines of heat lightening off a beach, or lightening in general, I think it will be fun and beautiful. After painting class I went and did some more painting, trying to rack up some more work hours from North East Sports Net. I got extremely dirty and of course paint all over myself and somethings that maybe shouldn't have paint on them :*/ whoops! I worked for about 4 1/2 hours and am ready to rest and call it a night, LONG day tomorrow and then company will be here for the evening I'd imagine... So I'm going to relax while I still can.
