best mass email ever.

it's been a while. however, luckily SO much has happened today that i will focus on the present. not the past.

the moment i woke up, i've been on a roller coaster. the kind that goes UP and DOWN. however, after every BAD thing God did something cool.
1) my class was cancelled. cool. except we have a test friday, and today was supposed to be the review. not cool.
God blessing: i have friends in that class that know their shit, and it's going to work out.

2) first news story due on tuesday. we work in partners, so it's very difficult trying to plan around your schedule, the partner's schedule, and the sources time. let me just say i was on the phone forever today trying to make appointments/rescheduling interviews/freaking out. it just sucks that these stories suck up all your time (aka entire weekend) due to trying to get interviews early, so you can get the b-roll, so you can write the script, so you can get it approved, and THEN edit so you can turn it in. crikees.
-God blessing: scored great interview time that alina and i can both go to, and it will all work out. plus my partner isn't M.I.A. like some other groups.

3) i babysit an awesome family. BUT. this week there were so many last minute requests/ a lot of chauffering around of the kids. i wanted to say something about my pay, bc there was so much driving and gas is expensive// it takes me a while just to get there in the first place. i was so frustrated, not to mention the kids were tired and mopey.
-God blessing: the mom ended up paying me MORE than usual because of all the toting around I did on such short notice. she's awesome.

4) today i was SUPER fatigued, due to lots of things and i wanted to take a nap and relax so bad, but i knew there wasn't enough time with class and work.
God blessing: the BEAUTIFUL weather. I got to lay out for an hour 1/2 while reading notes and studying

5) valentines is coming up, and i don't have time to do ANYTHING tomorrow. class from 8am-5pm and then i must study for my test friday. le suckage.
God blessing: I got a valentines from my nanny (g-ma) today with a sonic gift card! AND a really sweet card from my parentals with cash monnnaaayy. (plus my mom said she's going to take me shopping. what what)
5) i needed to scream/express my anger/ release something.
God blessing: ace of base's "all that she wants" came on the radio right as i got in my car. AND i have a best friend Gerrie who listens to me.

the Lord is awesome. word.


now onto other news. i have another test tomorrow in my 360 class, and usually before tests kids send out frantic mass emails like "ohhh can someone give me their notes?! i'll return the favor" "i was so sick" etc. well, i got a few of those but then one struck me as... well.. just read:

the subject: I NEED YOUR NOTES RIGHT NOW!!!
Howdy Y'all, I surely do love sending out group emails. In fact, that is my study strategy this semester. I have slept through every class so far and now, since we have a test in less than 24 hours, it is up to you to help me do well.I have absolutely no remorse about this and I hope you understand that I won't actually be taking the time to make personal contact with anyone in class to attempt to get notes. Instead I will spam the crap out of everyone in a panic when it is already too late.If you do send me your notes know that I have no intention of repaying you in any way.So, consider my plight and help a brother out. Sincerely,MIW


i am going to find that kid. and make him my friend. immediately.

-well, sorry for the lengthy blog//mild complaints but writing is catharsis for me so deal.
-i love you all so much and remember that tomorrow is a day about LOVE no matter if it's romantic or not, so show everyone your love. i know i will with my pirates of the carribean valentines. baha
