So the comments tag isn't working, but I'm in the process of possibly fixing that. This week ended in a flury of activity at work. The story that was "guarunteed" to make it into the paper ended up not making it because of a freak incident that would only happen to me. But now I have a new story in replace of it and hopefully I'll get it done by the deadline. It just stinks because this new topic isn't half as exciting as the old one....oh well. I had to go into work on Friday, even though my work days are only tues-thurs, but I had to interview this really weird lady and then do a little bit of work on misc. pieces. But yeah, this weird lady....she wants to create a wildlife sanctuary/cemetary. hmmm.....after I got back from that interview, I talked to the editor in charge of the section where it will show up and she said that for it to make it into the paper, we'll probably end up making fun of it. Which is cool, because I was having a hard time NOT making fun of it when I was typing up my notes. I just hate that they will probably resent me for throwing it all back in their face...but oh well. I had to do this interview at the lady's house, of all places, because she had broken her ankle. So there I was, in the upstairs apt. of this house that reeked of inscense and pot, talking to some strange woman. And you know why it was me that was there and not any of the other writers? Because I'm the intern. oh well.
Last night I went out to a couple of bars down the road with about 6 other Wartburg people. I wasn't going to drink because I had to get up early this morning to go to an event at a museum here and I knew it would be a looooong day if I did drink. Well....the pitchers were big and they were cheap.....and that was the most drunk I've ever been since Matt Fox's birthday/halloween party....although I didn't get even close to that drunk last night. And then I had to get up at 8 a.m. this morning. Whew....it was really rough. I couldn't fall asleep last night because the room was spinning (that hasn't happened for a long time either) and I seriously thought about puking, just so I would feel better this morning....but I didn't:) But all in all it was a fun night. I'm not going out tonight, though, because i have to get up early for church tomorrow and, as many of you know, drinking is an on/off switch for me. When it's on....watch out...and tonight I'm keeping the switch off. At any rate, I think I'll go watch some t.v. Peace out.
