I'm sitting in the newspaper office. I apparently got here too early without realizing it. No one is coming in until around 7pm when the ballots close. I've been a bit out of it since I was in Rome ( Read more... )

I'm watching "Ugly Betty" on t.v. She wants to work at a magazine. I have expended my writerly qualities.

I got home from a stressful afternoon. They are mostly stressful days now. I imagine life will be like this from now on. I got home a mist started to gather at the inside corners of my eyes. Sitting on the kitchen floor was a package. My heart ( Read more... )

Does anyone else e-mail yourself in the future? I just sent myself an e-mail to me at the newspaper for tomorrow and told myself to chill out a bit.

So I had a frustrating day at the newspaper office today. I needed to sleep in, so instead of waking up before class and interviewing people I just went to class and interviewed afterward. Professors are super hard to track down and I suppose it is their nature to be questioning. I had to pretty much wait around an hour before the person I thought ( Read more... )

Some days, things seem to fall into place.
Walking out the door this morning, there was a crisp and breezy light air to the world. It made me smile. La de da! I'd been up since 6 a.m. working on my short essays for my magazine class. I was in a happy mood-mostly coffee induced. I got to class and we did a "red carpet" exercise where we pretended to ( Read more... )

The week is over. It went by so quickly. I have a few minutes before I leave to play Ultimate with the swimming people. I'd much rather sleep or study-well not really, I'd like to do something fun. It's going to be a sad weekend...finishing up all the homework and assignments I have before me or that's i'm behind in. whew!

I'm working on about five ( Read more... )

I'm already getting bogged down. I had my first article that I was paid for published today. Yay! $12 whole dollars--beats nothing though ( Read more... )

Not sure what's happening in my life right now. I feel like I really don't have a lot of control over things-a bit displaced right now. Maybe it's because it's only my first whole week back from a two week vacation. Man, I miss Chinese, real Chinese, food.mmmmmm even if I didn't know what I was eating, it was delicious ( Read more... )

So, I'm back in the States. It feels all so anticlimatic and lonely. I feel like I should be visablly changed into this different person after such a huge trip. I had a blast. Didn't get to see Sissi a lot:(, but had such a good time when I did. It was calm and happy. I saw so much and am so jetlagged that I barely want to write it all down. ( Read more... )

Having a great time so far. Trying to navigate the reets and culture in Beijing. Poor Sissi is havingto work her ass off the last few days at her job ( Read more... )
