I finished filling out and mailing off my paper work to ACS Education. Otherwise known as the people who took over when PHEAA decided to pull out of the loan business. I've lost count of how many times I've had to ask for a deferment on my loans because I was still in school. Loans don't have to be paid back while in school (as long as a student is ( Read more... )

I made it through my two graduation ceremonies, Bachelor of Arts in Journalism diploma not included. I can expect that to arrive in about six weeks, now that's awesome service, thanks Temple! I graduated with a GPA of 3.64 and was given Magna Cum Laude ( Read more... )

After a good night's rest I've found and fixed the problem with my desktop, thank you PC Guru. Now I just need to set up Mark's limited profile again and everything should be good. I also suffered through the longest virus scan ever which did turn up a few trojan horses but I'm not sure if those were part of the problem. I suspect installing ( Read more... )

I just got an e-mail back from my professor from MURL. He wasn't sure if I was submitting my article (which he liked, *bwhat???*) as extra credit or the spot news assignment. It turns out he never got the spot news assignment that I submitted back in February, so I sent it along. I also asked if the article that scoring the lower grade be counted ( Read more... )

I turned in my last assignment for MURL shortly before leaving for work. While fishing for one of my professor's e-mail address, I noticed that the extra credit assignments were due by noon today. Uh-oh, does this mean that my assignment was due by noon because it was extra credit or does that not matter because it wasn't extra credit? I'm honestly ( Read more... )

Man there's nothing like a surprise assignment to sour the mood of being done with class. Then again it is from MURL so I shouldn't be so surprised, since that class, while making good strides in the right direction can still be frustrating and random at times. That optional spot news assignment, that I thought was optional, it is now required. At ( Read more... )

This weekend is going to be hell. I managed to get down to Northern Liberties by 1:30pm to interview 18-year old high school seniors about the upcoming primaries here in PA. I kind of wish that I was doing a written article instead of a photo presentation since I'm not sure how to photograph such things in a way that's interesting. The students who ( Read more... )

Dear Diary, er LiveJournal...I concede, I was completely wrong about how our projects would be treated today in MURL. And despite my stubborn personality I'm glad that I was so very wrong regarding the treatment of our projects ( Read more... )

Today has been interesting and perhaps even good, although I'm pretty exhausted. I'm not sleepy as in needing to rest thanks to coffee being my main source of drink throughout the day.

It seems as if I really will be extra busy until the start of May. In addition to all of my school assignments I got a second jury duty notice in the mail. Not the usual green and yellow colored notices but the angry red and white notice, aka the "you will be held in contempt of court if you miss this summons" notice. I can't believe I missed the ( Read more... )
