Where are my readers?
I used to have so many people reading my blog and commenting, once upon a time. They have all disappeared now. I think it's because it was so long of a time period that I didn't blog, so they probably lost interest. That makes me sad. *sigh*
My blog is very boring, anyway. I just ramble about nothing important. I have all my important news stories and everything in another blog. I'm going to start another blog that's a little different, it'll be news related info, but more of a commentary than hard news stories. And so this one is for rambling.
And of course it imports automatically into Facebook for all my friends to read, there, but I think I'm going to stop that.
I'm so ready for this semester to be over now.

Bored...
In class.
BORED BORED BORED BORED BORED
Teacher rambling 45 minutes about convergence. We learned about this in like 3 other classes.
And I'm bored with my blog. Any suggestions for spicing it up?

Richmond Tea Party
This evening I will be attending the Richmond Tea Party. I'm both excited and nervous because I am the Citizen Journalist. I won this position by submitting my video "Why I Joined the Tea Party!" to the contest. Video is below and basically explains it all!
The Richmond Tax Day Tea Party is 6:00-7:30 downtown at Kanawha Plaza, near the Federal Reserve. Directions are parking info are on the Web site. Please come, and come say hi to me if you read my blog. ^_^

On my mind: citizen journalist, richmond, tax day, tea party
So now I can update my blog from my phone! But usually I won't. It's the same thing as Twitter, and I already have that widget up.

Want to go back to the weekend
I'm wearing my Snoopy "I should have stayed in bed T-shirt" and that pretty much describes how I feel.
This week is going to be very hectic. I start working at KD on Friday, but I'll still be working at Ukrop's, too. AND of course I have school. So I'm trying to juggle all that and not lose my sanity.
It can be difficult.
Mostly I'm doing okay though. I like my classes, for the most part, and I'm doing well keeping up with homework. I'm not procrastinating as much this semester, which is a REALLY good thing. At least I don't have that to stress me out, too, on top of everything else.
Trying to figure out what classes to take in the fall and spring and hopefully get everything DONE is also kind of a pain. I should (key word: should) be able to get all my required mass communications classes done with no problem, but I need some more upper-level classes that are NOT mass comm. So I have to figure out what to take.
*sigh*
Must go do homework now, so I can go eat lunch.

I hate resumes
Just for the record, I hate resumes. Actually I just hate my resume. I hate doing stuff with it. I hate looking at it. I hate trying to make it look more interesting/creative/professional.
IT'S BORING.
