Just One of Those Days

Today was just not my day, you'll have that but mine was just ridiculously bad. I went to class, well okay that was fine for the most part but afterward I popped into News 7 to see how their day was going. Well, their day wasn't going, the board was almost empty and my producer informed me that I needed to find a story and fast. So, I began calling around but no one seemed to want to meet with me, which you'll also have. I sat with my producer and we put our heads together and thought it would be a good idea to do a story on Northeast Sports Net since we both know and have filled in for Eric Berry before and I also have some pretty close affiliation with his employees. We got that all straightened out and also got an interview with Paul Wheeler the athletic director at Lyndon Insititute. My photog and I went place to place, added a stand up and some other doo dads. Unfortunately we weren't going to be back until 2 o'clock and I had News Break at 3. Another unfortunate event was that I wouldn't be back in time to right it, but I'd be back in time to perform it. UGH! Worst performance I have ever done in my entire life. It was as if I couldn't read. I felt so awful about myself it wasn't even funny. So, I finished up my package and left to go to practice as soon as I could. But for my remaining time at News 7 I wasn't to crawl under a rock. All I can hope is that next week is better. Today was the first time I frazzled myself to the point where I made too many mistakes to fix. I've never even bumbled over a word in my past ones. It really dropped my confidence. I just need to pick myself up and do better next Wednesday. Afterward I went to practice where I did alright but I just didn't feel like myself. I was tired, hungry (because I was so busy I didn't get to eat all day), and just wanted to go home. Now I'm home and all I want to do is watch a movie and eat. Thankfully Jesse got us Hoagies and I have something to look forward to. So, I'm going to eat and veg out,get to bed early so I'm ready for our big game tomorrow!!
