So I emailed one of my prof.'s out here asking if it would be ok to miss a class because I would be with my brother. He replied by saying "What could you be possibly doing from 8-9:30 a.m. -- no, I expect to see you in class" Uhhhhhh....try skiing? Jeez, what a jerk. And then he had the gall to ask me to write a propaganda story for him and his cronies. Yeah.....uh....maybe. I emailed him back, though, and we'll see what happens.

So I have actually been posting lately, but the computers out here have crapped out on me and so the posts didn't go through. And this week was a crazy one. And I can't really talk about it on here, but let's just say I've been put through all kinds of different emotions. Which wasn't really a bad thing...and I'm just saying that feelings that I hadn't even thought about for a while were brought up again and right now I doubt that I'll ever be able to do anything about them. Sorry that was cryptic, but it's all I can say about it.
At my internship I was way busy with this big project finding all the things that Denver folks can do for St. Patrick's day. My editor wanted me to find 100 things at least, but I only got around 50. The thing is, though, we expected more help from the office staff than we got. We were given about 10 press releases total, and at least half of those were ones that I had already covered. So that meant I had to do everything all on my own. And there was no way I was going to be able to contact 95 different places by myself in two days. It's unrealistic. Plus, I had to convert the info I recieved into little blurbs and get all of the info correct. So even though I didn't get as much as was expected, I can still honestly say I did my best.
But now I have to go to bed, because even though Wartburg is on Spring Break right now, I still have to do my internship and get my volunteering hours in. There are some people out here that are totally taking the week off....but I would just do nothing, so I might as well be learning more at my internship. I mean really, why not?
