And I am glad

Switchfoot's new single! I really like it.
Their lyrics speak such truth about life and, well, everything.

I have always been a fan of their work. Are you a fan?

Steller

Wow. so I feel like I have been really busy lately, like REALLY busy but when I think about it, it isn't true. However, it is true when I am at school.

But when I am home, I loose the heat. The fervor of being preoccupied with things that matter seems to dissipate. No comprendo.

If I had a car and could drive to the nearest Starbucks and sit and study and work, I believe I would be more proud of myself in what I'm doing.

I love lists. To do lists, Dream lists, Grocery Lists, Wish list, Homework lists, Book to read lists, etc you get the idea. I absolutely love lists. Downside?

I never refer back to them. I make then toss or set aside and forget. Those lists are in my head but are floating around I can solidly see them and nothing gets done. I'm a royal mess.

Any suggestions? I need to get busy and stay busy.
Also, jobs. Know anyone that's hiring? I've applied to many places and nada, zip, zilch... >:(

Blocked

Since I'm on staff at the newspaper, I have been assigned a story, due tomorrow. I'm totally having trouble with it. I don't know why. All it is is a profile of a professor on campus and what he's been up to. Seems pretty simple right? But we've already done one on him a few years ago and I want to make it different. Maybe I'm over-analyzing this too much.
When it comes to this, I have no idea why I'm pursuing journalism. I feel like I'm too easily brain-blocked.

Glee-full!


CHECK IT OUT!

Extra Extra!

My second week of school has ended. I can't its already been a week. I feel like I'm not in the swing yet (I'm a late bloomer). Yet I am so busy. I'm taking 16 units, which includes working for the campus paper. So I'll spend my time either in class, studying/doing homework, and working as reporter and assistant features editor for Viewpoints. I'm also supposed to get a job along side of the web design/editing for a broker's website form my mom's office. Where will I find the time to do anything? I have no clue!! I confess that I feel a bit overwhelmed when I think of it all. I have already been assigned a story to write and the deadline is Wednesday of next week and I cant interview my subject till Monday. It's gonna be one hell of a week. I'll also be finding out if I got the job at the coffee house. Agh I'm so anxious and worried about what the future holds that it is hard for me to focus on the present.

The recession is really kicking butt. It has forced my to grow up a lot more quickly than I had planned or imagined. And when I mean "grow up," I mean take on more responsibility like an adult. Expenses placed on me.

I'm gonna stop writing now cause I feel like I'm doing a "dear dear, my life sucks.." entry and I didn't want my blog to be about that so I'll stop now.

To end on a happier note:
I'm one of three assistant feature editors and I'm going to have my first story for Viewpoints published next week, hopefully! YAY! And it looks like I'll have a car to drive very soon. My uncle and dad have been working hard on getting our Previa running again so my mom doesn't have to be my chauffeur to and fro. God provides!! I need prayer to stay focused on what needs to be done so I don't end up procrastinating.

peace and love~

Something to ponder

from LeLove

I'm drawn

Got this picture from Style Magnet blog. A very fun blog to look at. It inspires me.

What a couple of few weeks I have been having! It has kept me from my blogging as you can see. So I apologize for that. I started school on Monday and it has been a whirling roller coaster.
It has been a total disaster here at school. With the budget crisis, Riverside Community College was greatly affected. Hundreds of classes were cut and tuition was raised. Hundreds of students were dropped from classes for ridiculous reasons. The tension on campus has been intense, to say the least. But after days of attending classes to see if there is any space for desperate lil' me, I have managed to acquire 16 units. YES! SUCCESS~

I'm exhausted and have much to do already. If the first week of school is like this, I'm afraid I am not much looking forward to this semester.

Hope your week wasn't as outlandishly and ridiculously stressed as mine.
