Beach Party and then Snow?

So this past weekend was a lot of fun! I went out for the day with Krystle and then some of the girls came over later that night. It was nice to have them all over and get a few good laughs in. Sunday I spent most of the day lounging and went on a hike with Jesse through the woods behind the hospital. Overall it was a nice, relaxing weekend. Then I woke up this morning and thought the morning just came too soon. It was cold and gray out but I didn't picture it to be a day that brings a snow storm! It was the first time that the snow has stuck to the ground and made difficult driving conditions in a while. We decided to go around and see if there were any cars off the road to talk about the weather. Instead we got a call telling us to go to a fire in Danville. I was terrified, I've never been life, let a lone to a fire. I was scared for the people that they may be hurt or something. But, when we got there we found out it was a chimney fire and it was out. I was thankful that nothing harmed the house or the family in it. After we got back I wrote the story and shortly after left. I came home and decided I needed to get my Sports psychology paper and watch General Hospital. Now that I've got that done it's time to relax....

I saw the sun, but not for real.

When I woke up the outside world was covered with a blanket of snow, and instead of getting out of bed I just wanted to crawl back in and pretend it was Saturday. But, I managed to get up and get myself dressed and ready to go and was only five minutes late for class. We were doing arts and crafts so it was a very enjoyable class. Afterward I went to the lab and checked some emails and surfed around for an hour or so before my next class where we talked about our homework assignment. When that wrapped up I headed to News 7 and was excited to do my story on Reiki and due to photographer limitation I went out with Scott, who also had a story in St Johnsbury. We headed to his poetry reading and that went well. Turns out Sheryl Crow found his poetry in a book store and called him up asking if she could use part of his poem for her song "All I want to do." I found that very interesting because I love Sheryl Crow's music. After that we headed over to my story which, BUMMER DUDE, got rescheduled because the location wasn't big enough to do what she wanted with the story. So, a misunderstanding led me to an even better story when schedules match. Even though I didn't have anything for today, I got to go out on a story and set up a better one for a few weeks from now. Despite the snow and over cloudy skies I decided I needed some sun in my life, so I settled for artificial sun and went to the tanning salon... Now i'm happy, warm and not to mention bronzed... Life is good.

Guitar Hero has Taken Over my Life

So after playing guitar hero for the majority of the night I headed to bed knowing I had to wake up semi early. When I got up around 7:45 I took a shower and got myself ready for the day. I headed to my classes and they both went really well and I enjoyed both of them. After class I came home really quick to eat some lunch and head back to News 7 because I had an interview at 2. Today I headed to the Rural Community Transportation Inc. to talk about whether more people were using public transportation due to increasing gas prices. It wound up going reall well, the man we spoke with was amazing and I wound up getting two really got SOTs and made a package out of it. After News 7 I headed to the gym to work out with Longley. This week has been so tough with work out routines... UGH... But hey, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger! Now I'm going to enjoy a nice pizza, home made just for me :*)

BleedeeBloooo

Today I headed to school with a plan at what I was going to do for the entire day. Although that may seem awesome, it's not always amazing! I went to my morning classes and when I got out of those I had to go through the research I found on Women in Shakespeares play and write a 2-3 page paper when I got home from my day at 3. After doing that for about an hour I headed up to VIC to meet Meghan so we could finish our project for Melissa's performance class. We did in no time at all and it was cute. We did a piece as if it was a today show type ordeal and it was funny, but we did work on technique and such, a good colaboration. Afterward I went to painting and did some masterful work as always. Then I headed home and completed my paper that I dreaded to do and put off for the last possible night! Oh well, tomorrow will be filled with classes and News 7 so for right now I'm going to enjoy the rest of my evening watching Dancing With the Stars and playing guitar hero.

Wally World

So today started off sort of crazy. I went to class and found out that it was cancled because our teacher was sick. Well, if that class was cancled then my next one definitely was too becuase it was the same teacher! So, I used the time before News 7 to try and find a story as well as do some research for my paper due Wednesday because I didn't have much time to do so when I was enjoying the time I had with my family over the weekend. After I did my research and made some calls I headed to News 7 an hour early to persue the leads I had found. Unfortunately no one could talk/meet today and once again I had nothing for News 7. It's starting to become depressing and making me feel like a failure. But at the same time it's motivating me to do better and I found about six different stories to call on this week and next. Hoepfully they all work out and I can get some good packages before break. After News 7 I went and worked out with Longley for TWO hours count 'em TWO. I was so proud of myself/shocked it was amazing. When I got home Jesse was ready and waiting to head to Littleton so we could go to Walley World (Walmart) and 99 for din din. I was so excited to have some really good food (my fav. French Onion Soup) and Jesse was really excited to go to Walmart and buy guitar hero. I was okay with it because he got me Across the Universe too!! So now I have to totally awesome things to watch/play! I think I hear guitar hero right now, I better go catch up...

Back to Life, Back to Reality

Well, I'm back in Vermont and I have mixed feelings about it. I went to lunch around noon with my parents for Easter. My Grams didn't want to go because she wasn't feeling well. When I got home I packed up and waited to see if I would catch Mike, Aimee, and the boys before I left... unfortunately that didn't happen. I left around 4:15 and made the three hour journey back. It was funny because around Concord area I noticed someone who was driving literally next to me for about 3 minutes. I got semi-creeped out and switched lanes. Then I got a call from Paul saying it was him and he had seen me once we got over the NH border! I called him back and explained why I was so sketchy and we proceeded to play leap frog the entire way. It definitely made the ride more interesting for me. Randomly when I got into Vermont three deer ran across the highway and thankfully no one was that close that I could break for them... I don't know what I would have done if I hit one!! I would have felt so bad! But, all was well and I made it through the last leg of the journey safe and sound, got everything in the house, unpacked and got ready for the morning. I can't wait to style my new threads... Chaaa. I'm wicked excited about it. Now I just need to find a story to make get my clothes some use... I think I'll take a peek right now!

Shopping? I think so.

Today my Mom and I decided to venture off on a hunt for News 7 apparel. We stayed close today and went to the South Shore Plaza across town to hit Forever 21, Victoria Secret, Express, and Hollister. I had gift certificates for both Hollister and Forever 21. I used the Forever 21 gift certificate on a few cute shirts and saved the Hollister one because nothing really jumped out at me. My Mom had a coupon for Victoria Secret so I got $10 off these wicked cute capris... pajamas? pssshh there so going to be an everyday basic apparel for me. Express at the plaza was unsuccessful so after we ate some Chinese with Dad we headed back out and went to Derby St. which is a cute out door mall that grew from two stores to twenty some odd. SUCCESS. I finally found pants that fit and a couple shirts, so I'm slowly building a wonderful wardrobe for News 7. After we stopped to get some Milk and Easter cards for my adorbale babies who I got to see earlier today! Inbetween errands we stopped in for about an hour or so and hung out with Mike, Christian and Lil' Brady. I almost ate Christian right up, he's my little man and it's been forever since I've seen him!! It's nice to be home and see my Little guys, and my brothers and of course my Parents and Grams. I hope I get to see the little guys after brunch tomorrow!! Now I'm off to hunt of UGG cleaner... My boots have taken a beating in the VT snow/salt/mud combo. Yuck!

Long Day

I woke up this morning thinking I was going to have the longest day ever... It wound up being long, but not nearly as bad as I assumed. Originally I was going to go to my two classes and then News 7 until five but I got out early, not necessarily a good thing but I was okay with it. I got to leave for home earlier and get a head start on Boston traffic and the dark. I loathe driving at night, my eye sight is horrendous so luckily I got home around 5:15 despite a bit of traffic. But I'd handle a bit over a lot, once I sat in traffic for three hours trying to get home on a Friday night. I think since it was good Friday and a lot of schools/businesses had the day off I lucked out. Once I got home and said hi to my parents and my Gram my Mom and I went to buy some birthday presents for what seems like everyone in my families birthdays that I missed. Well, it was just Mike and Aimee, I still have to get my mom and actual present, although she loved her delectible brownie/cake. Tomorrow I'm going out with my Mom for most of the day and then over to my brother's so I can see my two little guys. I can't wait to see Christian, I haven't seen him since Christmas and he's the apple of my eye for sure! But, seeing as how this has been the longest day ever, I'm going to hit the hay.

Home Tomorrow!!

So I got through the day knowing that I am going home tomororw! I've been stressing out about everything so it'll be nice to get away and see my family! However, I alleviated some stress when I went out with my Tv 2 partner and our photographer to get some of our project done that's due next week. My class this morning was cancled on account of the gloominess the day brought. It's hard to have a discussion when everyone is in a bad mood. So I hit the gym earlier than normal and did the bike for a bit, since today is not a training day. When I got home for lunch Jesse and I headed to the White's Market to grab something to make and I also picked up some things to make my Mom some delectible brownies. I disguised the brownies with frosting and wrote "Happy Birthday Mom" so she thinks it's a cake. I don't have proper cake pans, but at least the brownies look pretty! The first thing I want to do when I get home is see my nephews! Too bad we have school tomorrow and I can't leave until 6:30 ish. BOO. I haven't been home since Christmas because of basketball so it'll be nice to be home. For now I'm just going to relax and watch my soaps...

Hump Day

Today was a surprisingly short day. I awoke to a random winter storm. The day before the first day of Spring and we can't even see the grass yet! Either way I made it out the door to my classes. Unfortunately all I could think about was how my interview with the maple sugar maker would be cancled due to the weather. I was pretty upset because it's sweeps week and I didn't have a story anymore. After a few hours and knowing that the show was already filled anyway I was sent home early. Instead of going home right after I went to the gym to see if I could work out earlier. Thankfully my trainer was working out then too so I could finish early. I got home around quarter to five and decided to hang out I had to email my homework for tomorrow, but now i'm in the clear! Time to relax...

Sick in the NEK

I went over to Punky's for her birthday on Sunday and had a really fun time. It was nice to have everyone together and having fun. However, I woke up and was deathly ill. I wasn't sure if it was from being out or just from contracting this flu-like illness that everyone and their uncle has. Since I'm still sick I believe I've caught the bug... BOOO. I'm not happy about it in the least bit. I hope I'm over it soon, I have two more days of sweeps week and long long days to get through until I can go home. For right now I'm just making it through my classes and coming home to sleep! I had three classes today and throughout them I was continuously hot and cold and just felt weak. I'm also a huge baby when it comes to sickness, I'm used to people taking care of me and babying me when I'm sick and up here I don't have too much of that, unforunately. I'm just going to relax, do some research for my paper and wait for some din din :*)

Wish it were Sunday, Cause that's my FUN day.

Today I woke up and immediately remembered my plays that needed to be read. So I did some cleaning and sat down and got myself motivated. I read all of The Tempest and almost all of Raisin in the Sun. If I do say so myself I was extremely proud of myself. After I read and Jesse got back from his meeting we ventered to the Green Mountain Mall.. Although it shouldn't be called a mall because there's like three stores. Anywho, I was trying to find something suitably green for news 7 tomorrow. Not too much to choose from so I just got a green tank top. Afterward we went to Hi Boy and got some wings and a blooming onion. A blooming onion is an interesting form of an onion ring, who would have known? This was the first time I'd ever had one. Here I sit awaiting Punk's birthday bash... Ugh, I wish it were now, Drumline can only be watched so many times on TNT in one weekend.

Starting the Weekend off Nice

When I woke up this morning I wanted to do something. I just had this urge to get out of the house and be productive. Too bad I was feeling productive enough to read one of my plays! Anywho, I cleaned the house up a bit, did the dishes from last night and waited for Jesse to wake up so we could find out what we were going to do, since I was on a mission. Finally, after some pancakes, we decided to go Geocashing, which I mistakenly thought was called Geocatching, I was sadly corrected. We found 2-4, but one we found the location but not the Geocash itself. I'd explain what a Geocash is, but I don't even really know. Once we did that we came home for a bit and lounged, I made some oat meal cookie pies to bring a few to Punkys for her birthday. Afterward the urge to be out of the house set in again so I went to find some Irish Treasures for St Pattys Day. I wish I could say what but for surprise purposes they have to be left out of the blog. I'm landed for the day, the urge is gone, or has been satisified whichever the case may be and I'm ready for dinner and a good movie :*)

I Wish TGIF Was Still On

I was sitting and thinking that I wish TGIF was still on Friday nights. I mean I have Ghostwhisperer but Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Step by Step, they're all classics! Unfortunately I didn't sit around all day to contimplate that, just the past few minutes when I turned on the TV. I went to classes today and I have to read two plays this weekend and do active reading, which means I have to make character charts, descriptions, etc. I guess it could be a good time. Afterward I went to News 7 with intentions of doing a story which I had made some calls for. However, I never got a call back so I continued to find ideas and call on them and unfortunately for me no one was interested or they fell through. Thankfully on about my sixth story idea I found some people who would talk to me and because of footage I had to write my blurbs very short and throw in a stand up. I think I had fat arms in my stand up and I'm a little concerned... Good thing I went and worked out with my special little trainer! I got a good work out with my back, arms and shoulders. I also did some work on the bike just for a bit of cardio. Here I am, wanting pizza... Way to ruin a work out right? TOOO BADDD it's my favorite food in the entire world. So much so that my family called me Pizza the Hut for a little (Spaceballs reference). OH well... Here I go to the House of Pizza WOOT WOOT

Spring Cleaning

I had two classes today and they were both pretty fast. I got out of my first class after a half hour so I was productive and went to the gym, only cardio today, no weights that's tomorrow. After I went to the gym I came home, showered, and made some lunch. After a couple episodes of Home Improvement I headed to painting. Unfortunately today I didn't have anything amazingly awesome to paint from so I put some sky on a canvas, hated it, wiped it clean and called it a day. When I came home I decided I desperately needed to clean my house... UGH what a mess. I think I was allergic to it because of all the dust bunnies investing it. I cleaned everything top to bottom for about two hours then called my Mom to say Happy Birthday! I had sent her a card a couple days ago she got today, ironically when I was on the phone with her... She loved it p.s. I am so jealous her and my dad are going to the Ale House though... Just a couple more months and I can go for my 21st though, SCANDALOUS! Jesse and I took a snow mobile ride when I got off the phone with my Momski. It was fun, I'd never been before and I gunned it around for a bit... Now I'm starving though... Din Din's calling.

Seriously, MORE SNOW?

So I woke up this morning like every other morning, got myself ready and as I'm heading out the door I see something falling from the sky... SNOW? For real? It's been so nice these past couple days the idea of snow makes me want to find this Mother Nature and throw rocks at her. It's not fair... I want Spring... Sunshine, Warmth, Outdoor adventures, and instead I'm watching snow flakes. GRRR...
I went to school semi-bitter but my first class totally snapped me out of that. We had to do skits with minimal dialogue and mine and my partners was AMAZING... I got to be a creep show and it's fun to act out in front of a class of people you don't' even know. Who knows, maybe in their eyes I am a creep show. My next class flew by and I made my way to News 7. I didn't have a set in stone story, but I got an email about BINGO down at the Darling Inn Meal Site and it wound up being so cute. The people there were so nice and loved the game of BINGO... SO much one woman had a purse with BINGO everything all over it, INSANE. After News 7 I went to work out with my super studly trainer... I guess I laugh too much, but it's one of my good friends, so who wouldn't laugh? Whatever, as long as I'm getting in shape and he's getting good experience for his major it's all worth it. I worked a bit of arms, core and then did some bike work. I feel awesome now, but I can imagine I'll be sore tomorrow... EEK...

Sweet Day

I woke up and went to my 8 am class earlier than normal so I could finish some questions on town reports. Once class started I found myself into the Internet more than class... It happens but it's fine. After that I went to my script writing class and we were re-writing nursery rhymes and fairy tales. It was a lot of fun and the class really got into it. Then I came home and some salad and such for lunch with Jesse as we watched Home Improvement... An amazingly awesome show if I do say so myself. When I went to painting we found out we didn't have class we just had to turn in our paintings. I then went for a run and enjoyed the fabulous weather once I did that I took a very long nap! It's been a very relaxing day considering the day I'll have tomorrow. Classes, News 7 then working out with one of my athletic trainer buddy boys. I think I'll enjoy the rest of my nice, easy, relaxing day.

I have a case of the Mondays

I felt really ill today and it made my day even worse. I went to my classes and News 7 and the story board was already filled out by 10am so we sort of sat around, making contacts and such. I found a story that looks really interesting to do. It's a story on sugaring... Oh Vermont and you're maple sugar gold mine. I still have to call and set up the interview but I did some research. I am laying around right now watching the OC.. I'm so tired and feeling sickly so I'm just relaxing and taking it easy. The flu and mono are apparently floating around, I just hope those gray clouds aren't set over me. BLAH...

What a Weekend

This weekend was funfilled. Jesse went away for the weekend so I went to Caitlin's surprise birthday party for a bit on Friday and came back to watch some movies with Sara and Andy. Jen swung by a little later and hung out for a bit. We decided that we would take a road trip the next day to Concord to see a friend that came here freshman year. Sara, Jen and I headed out and made it safely, despite the crazy weather. We got panera for lunch so I was super excited about that. We also met some new friends and had a really good time. Now i'm just relaxing and watching the first season of the OC on DVD... I may do some homework later, but I haven't really decided :*P

The Day Before Friday

So I headed off to school today as a grub-a-muffin. I mean, I showered, I didn't go to school like Pig Pen, just a step above. The sad thing was, I got to school and the class I had gotten out of bed for was cancled... GRRR... I wish I could have slept in hardcore, but that's fine. So, I made my way to the North East Sports Net home to do some sales work. I stayed there for about two hours and made two sales, which isn't as bad as it sounds. From there I went to painting class and made a masterpiece if I do say so I am. Afterward I headed home to do some work... I procrastinated that by taking advantage of the nice weather and going for a run. I felt really good about it and when I got home it motivated me to do some more work. I got my paper done and decided it was play time! I called Krystle and we're about to enjoy some buffalo chx pizza, AMAZING. We're awaiting Marissa and Jess... I hope they come before we eat it all....

Winter Blues

So, I'm not going to lie... I'm so tired of winter. I most definitely have the winter blues! In fact, I did a News 7 story on it! I woke up today, thinking that there would be a school delay because of this BIG ice storm, which wasn't even that bad, and there was. I very slowly got out of bed and into my morning routine. I was in such a pleasant slumber, it was almost tragic to get out of it. Either way, I made it to my 9 o'clock class which brought very exciting news! We're going to actually perform the plays we're writing. I'm nervous, excited and almost embarrassed at how bad and uncreative my play is compared to the others in my class! It's fine though, I'll get over it... Somehow. After class I went to the lab and did an annual facebook sesh with none other than K-Sauce. That's our hour to laugh and giggle at new bumper stickers, photos, etc. I know, we're dorks, and somewhat facebook warriors.. But I'm okay with that, because it's the only time I'm on it, and it only occurs three times a week! I know, still lame.. But moving on... Next I went to performance and I was told I did a very nice job and then asked to go into the closet and yell to the class to make me louder... Honestly, I've never been told I was a quiet girl unless it was in front of people talking. After that I went to news 7... I didn't have a prepared story for today (whoops) so I decided I would be productive, find one and go out and do it! I decided since I loathed the snow right about now and am desperately awaiting spring that finding some new activities for people to escape the realm of never ending winter we've ventured to could make for an interesting piece. From there I looked up businesses in which I thought would be good interviews. I went to the scrap booking store and the green mountain book store... both run by two very nice women. It turned out to be a good story, but it won't air until tomorrow. Now I'm home, chatting it up to my blog... procrastinating the other half of my homework................................................. just kidding, I'm on it.....

Town Meeting Day

I woke up this morning and realized... It's town meeting day! This just meant I couldn't sleep in like I wanted to, because I had to be at the station at 8:00 am. It was crazy busy in the station, all hands were on deck and everyone had a town to attend. Honestly I had no idea what to expect. I had never been to a town meeting before and wasn't quite sure how they worked. It was like I went into a time machine and traveled back to the 1800s where people voted by saying "I" and "Nay." They used a ballat for some votes and a hand raising for others, it was like something i'd never seen before and it was so interesting. I wish I could say that wasn't all that was interesting about it! It was pretty long and drawn out for me. When we were going to leave my designated town I found that my car was stuck in the icy snow! It was terrible, I didn't know how I was going to get out. Thanks to two of the nicest people I've ever met, I was pushed out of that dilemma and on my way back to the station. When I got back I was overwhelmed by the number of people trying to do stuff. Luckily I got right on a computer and typed up my story, grabbed a editor and got my entire piece busted out in about an hour. When I got home from my day, Jesse and I decided to go play racquet ball and grocery shopping. We're just about to eat dinner, tacos... mmmmm....

School? SAY WHAT?

So yesterday was another day filled with traveling, grumpiness and a lot of long faces. We all dreaded the idea of leaving OK and starting school the next day... Not that we don't love school, but we knew we were in for a few long days. I got home and did some laundry and unpacking then made sure I was ready for school! I woke up and honestly, I wanted to crawl right back into bed and sleep for the entire day. Unfortunately I had to go to class and News 7. Once I got to school I was fine, just groggy still. I went out to find a chimney fire in Sutton today, but we couldn't find/make it. So we went and got a weather and a credit for the show, I must say our mountain landscape with the snow covered trees was pretty amazing. EPIC. After News 7 I ran some errands and now I must grocery shop, there's absolutely nothing to eat in the apt. GRRRR. I'm hungry...

Last Day In OK

So today was relaxing and amazing! We woke up around 12... 1 o'clock back home. From there we had a team meeting and decided that we wanted to go to team dinner/lunch at Hooters! Bringing back freshman year when we all went to the Hooters in Clearwater, FL. We bought shirts and mugs and had a team picture infront of the sign. Afterward some of us went shopping and browsed in some neat stores! Some people got some things, I refrained because I didn't want to try to save as much money as possible. From there we came back to the hotel, changed into our Hooters gear and headed to the gym to watch the games. We rooted for Concordia and they ended up winning! Once we started cheering the game got more intense and became more interesting! The boys game was really good, we cheered for Oakwood... They came and cheered us on our first game so we thought it would be nice to support them because they were so sweet to us ;*)
Now we're back at the hotel and jsut hanging out for our last night... I'm super excited! I love that everyone is together and getting along... FAMILY!! Much Love...
