Nostalgia
So I was making lj's for my boss and her friend and teaching them how to use a community today, and it made me miss my own lj. As I always do.. after about 6 months of ignoring it completely.
I got to thinking about why I don't love writing about myself as much as I used to and I think I've figured it out. Now that I make everything friends only, and all my friends that used to use lj (back in the day) no longer read what I write and no one comments, so I guess this is my first 'get back into lj' post. I think I'm going to find some communities I like and see if I can't find some one interested in things I am that will read about my little life. :)
To start off I'm still in school at USM. I'm a sophomore 'art major' but really I'm just trying to graduate with the knowledge of how to make a proper website and how to work the production end of newspapers. The first goal is moving along quite nicely, the second, not so much. I have no time to get down to the Free Press to see how the production is done. I think I might make it a goal of mine to get down there tomorrow and really see what's going on.
Besides being in school I'm working 3 jobs. I still work for Caitlin.. she's the one I made the lj for today. Not much has changed about that job.. I run errands and maintain the website mostly. Although we did just have this ridiculous adventure and bought her a new computer.. that was hours and hours out of my life.. but it will make hers better so I was happy to do it.
Another job is Borders. Yes the book store. I'm a cashier.. and yea.. that's what I do.. 8 hours on Saturdays.. and 6 hours on Wednesdays..
Finally I work for the Free Press.. I get paid to put the new issue online every week that there's a paper.. it's pretty sweet. Good for the resume.. and will hopefully eventually lead me into to Production end when I find some time.
Thinking a little larger.. I plan to go to Italy next year.. Spring Abroad anyone? :) I've been spending way too much time online looking at $$ for my big plans.. and I'm really hoping it will become a reality. Right now the plan is to apply.. get in.. and take out a $20,000 loan and go.. easy enough right? heh
I guess that's all I can think of for now. Hopefully I'll be really board in my 6 hour class tomorrow and write in this again.
