And time just flies by...

A lot has happened since I wrote last, and I apologize for the delay (c'mon, with only two followers, and one person who actually reads this - hey, Darren - I doubt many of you even care).  Even so, this blog is supposed to benefit me, right?  So on we go...

School is kicking my ass, so to speak.  Late nights, early mornings, and honestly, I'm not partying my time away like most of the people I know.  I genuinely have a lot to do.  I'm in lab pretty much every day, then I have 8:30 a.m. classes.  It doesn't seem like a lot, but it is.  SO much to do in so little time, but as my good friend Kim pointed out, "We make it [hard] even when our lives don't demand it."  True, true.  I think after leaving Brooks, I figured out what needed to be done, and what I had to change in my life...  So I'm changing it.  It's all for the better, my friends.  All for the better.

We went on a field trip today to San Francisco's channel 5 news, and it was amazingly inspiring.  I know broadcast journalism is what I want to do with my life.  It's like...  a life of complete stress, and for someone who thrives under pressure, it's amazing.  Deadlines keep me alive, man.  I realized how much I have to do to get ready for that, but I'm prepared.  Absolutely prepared.

My mom comes to visit me in two days, my birthday is in about two weeks, and I'm absolutely happy.  I do miss my family, though.  A lot. 

Well, that's all for now.  I have to watch a movie and write a report.

Ta-ta for now!

Up and away

I would just like to point out that I am being forced to write this blog by Darren Williams.  He is on FaceBook.  Stalk him.

Anyway, hello, all two readers.  I am currently in the beautiful city of San Francisco, California continuing my education at Academy of Art.  Of course, you knew that.  I've really got nothing to write about.  I've been to two out of four classes and I have a shit-ton of homework.  It's kind of ridiculous.  But in all actuality, would I really have it any other way?  Probably not.  Those of you who know me know I thrive under pressure...  When I have too much to do and not enough time to do it, that's when I'm at my best.  I can already see that this school is going to be like Brooks 2.0:  Hard classes, fast-paced, and homework orientated.  But that's alright.  I love it.

I'm on the school's new radio station which is amazing.  We haven't started broadcasting yet, but we're in the process of getting everything together, so that's cool.

I want Starbucks.

My mom comes out to visit me in about four weeks and I am SO excited.  And my birthday is in one month and four days, also major excitement goin' on there.  Though, 19 really is a useless age.  At 18 you're legal and at 21 you can drink.  19 is pointless.  Still don't know what's going on for my birthday, though I've never really been a "party girl."  I know what I want (and I'm not saying it via the interweb), but it's not really something you can ask of someone, hahahaha.  Actually, it is.  Well, in this town it is.  This isn't making sense.  I'll stop now.

I'm still really interested in acting and script writing, but time will not allow either at the moment.  Job hunting is sucking, too.  And to be honest, I want an apartment.  Ahh, how much I wantwantwant.

That's all for now.
Thanks for reading, Darren.
