So, I've been graduated for almost four years now, and have really not had a whole lot of luck finding editing jobs in this city. There have been a few opportunities, but the fact remains that to up my chances of finding and landing something, I'd have better luck in Toronto. Which is still a possibility for someday, but as things are looking ( Read more... )

So it's all done. I graduated. Have the piece of paper to prove it and everything. Not that I'm entirely sure exactly what it says, since it's all in Latin... Anyway, the ceremony went pretty well, although it was still pretty boring, as they tend to be. The valedictorian was hilarious though, which is why I voted for him, an why I was very happy ( Read more... )

Not sure why I'm bothering to post, since I have little or nothing to say... Probably because I'm bored and have nothing better to do. Just finished my grad rehearsal which was terribly dull, and also not necessarily useful, since we didn't actually *rehearse* anything. We just got told where we'll be sitting (approximately, since not everyone was ( Read more... )

OK, *now* I'm done. Added some pictures to the site. Skipped the photo gallery, though. In any case, I feel much better now. Although I think I would feel even better if I could kick city guy's ass, because I'm still royally pissed off with him. Anyway ( Read more... )

I never realized before how incredibly frustrating and upsetting it is to think you're done something - something that's taken you four years - and then not be. I'm not talking about anything major, really. I'm still going to graduate and everything. But thanks to a phenomenal asshole with the city, I still have work to do ( Read more... )

Just in case there was any doubt in my mind that editing really is my calling, I'm hanging around in the computer lab here at school, waiting for Tim to come and check my final site (I'll post the URL once he does, and you are obligated to go see it and tell me how awesome it is), and the magazine workshop people have their proofs posted all over ( Read more... )

Yay, I finished my first draft of my website! I think I'll go in to school tomorrow and start building the actual site. I'm really excited about that. It'll make me feel like a smart tech geek... I don't think I want to know what it says about me that that prospect makes me happy... Maybe that I'm adored by a guy who likes geeks? Anyway, I expect ( Read more... )

Please, for the love of god, finish each sentence before you start a new one! It is extremely frustrating when you go back over an interview you've done, only to find the thing sprinkled liberally with sentences that aren't quite finished, and mish-mashed ideas. It's very difficult to pull out useable quotations from that kind of mess. Is it really ( Read more... )

I go home to see my man on Saturday. Right now I'm pretty much bored out of my tree. I can't really concentrate on anything because I'm too excited, and I'm also dead tired. The last two days have been intense. I am super glad my newspaper workshop is finally over, even though it totally did have its fun moments. I'm sad that our last issue went to ( Read more... )

I am soooooo excited. I just learned what I'll be doing for my last workshop, advanced online. I'll be creating a website from scratch. And the great thing is that although I do have to do some reporting in order to have content for said website, that should be pretty much done after the first two weeks. Which means that after that, I should have ( Read more... )
