So last time I did a post I was tad bit upset but Im better now, however, it was a long three months to get to where I am now and I still have a small ways to go.
So where do I start?
Ok, lets start at the end April. The semester was closing and of course I had to deal with that one A-hole teacher who just so happens to teach the last class I need to graduate. No matter what I did in this class I could never quite measure up to whatever bullshit standard she wanted me to be at (nor did I help the situation by not kissing her ass like she wanted) so as you can guess I got a D in the class which isn't enough for me to graduate with so now I am taking this class elsewhere because I refuse to retake the same class for the third time under the same *insert appropriate explitive* which is fine with me anything to get me across the stage in July. Then after that I was off to New Orleans for the New York Times Student Journalism Institute for two weeks with my lil bro where, in my opinion, we kill't it!! (yes I said killed but with a T lol) While we were there we met with key people in the business including Jill Abramson and Dean Baquet (the managing editor and washington DC bureau chief respectively) who just recently got promotions to Executive editor and managing editor (again respectively). Along with them we got to know Don Hecker, Sandra Stevenson, LaSharah Bunting (my new sugar mama lol), Chris Drew, Aaron Pilhofer, Troy Griggs, and a bunch of others that I am too lazy to type in as well as 20 other students who I believe will shine in the journalism world. After many sea sickening boat rides, almost a hundred assignment (a peice), and 56 hour days lol we graduated and joined a larger family of journalists.
Now to recent weeks I return to Baton Rouge in the hopes that everything I did before I left was all straightened out...and as usual they weren't. I am currently bumming at other peoples houses until I can wrestle down a spot for myself, one of my classes for summer school was cancelled and then re-opened (after I threatened some people of course), crazy financial aid stuff, and other craziness.
But through it all I have been taking it stride.
Thankfully things are starting to look up now, school is just about taken care of and I'm close to getting my own place this week...and there is money in my near future. So yeah....things are good thanks to God and lots of prayer.
Well thats my wrap up for the past three months, new things to come: Singing lessons (again), maybe some acting classes, internship, Grad school, and hopefully a closer relationship with a friend...who knows keep ya eye out cause you know I make moves constantly...and each move is a Stroke of Genius...
