i'm terrified of not knowing what's out there.

i hope i'm growing. i hope i never stop learning.

I don’t give a damn about ‘reputation.’ If I’m wrong I correct or re-think. Once a writer worries about these things, he’s like an actor watching the audience. In my opinion, far too many journalists worry about their reputation.
— This is a killer journalism quote that’s likely to be overlooked by the comment that came just before it (no pun intended), from Andrew Sullivan’s live chat. (via newsweek)

i think i’m only in the running for one job now at the tribune company.

so, let’s summarize this day-

-started feminine health issues A WEEK AND A HALF EARLY.  meaning that my feminine health issues will last close to three weeks this month.  awesome.

-ran into bill on the way to journalism class.  so that made me feel like throwing up.

-had an old article of mine critiqued in class by my arts journalism professor today.  more than anything it made me a nervous wreck.  but his critique was good and constructive and brought up things i wouldn’t have known until waaaaaay later.

-vented with robbie who’s still dealing with issues from stupid ex.

-came back to find some ignorant jerk commenting on my facebook.  i don’t even know him, we were friends via the dcp group on facebook.  not only does he think gay teens need to suck it up and not be pussies when bullied, but he also thinks that ptsd only applies to actual war.  so that soured things after i had to defend myself and all friends of mine that have been bullied, especially my gay friends, yesterday with another ignorant jerk.

-keep losing my internet connection.  not so much a bad thing, but an annoyance.  

-in history class and watching it’s a wonderful life.  i love the movie, but i keep working through the film on my review and download my slides for notes because i have a history test on tuesday.

-i keep refreshing the tribune page and see that my application for the executive assistant position is no longer listed.  last time that happened was for the first internship i applied to and didn’t get.  so i went to my tribune profile page to see the status for all my job and internship applications.  i don’t know what “reviewed, not selected” means, but i don’t think it’s good.  same goes for “submitted, not selected.”  the only thing even slightly positive is my oak brook productions internship listing, which says “received submission.”  the digitization internship isn’t even listed on my job apps.  

i feel really crummy about life right now.  pretty sure i’ll wallow in self-pity tonight then keep writing.

such is the life of the average college student, in debt, out of luck, without work or hope for the brief glimpse of the future.

does anyone out there in the universe want to give me a bottle of wine and a hug???  or maybe take me to the future with my loving boyfriend, where we’re living together in our own place in chicago, tucking in for the night with buffalo wings and beer and black ops???

Kickass Cover Mashup of the Day: Luc Bergeron AKA Zapatou mashes up 71  covers of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” from all around the world.

A full list of links to the original covers can be found in the video’s description.

(As you’re watching this and enjoying yourself keep in mind that this is the exact sort of thing that PIPA and SOPA seek to prohibit. Politicians are backpeddling in droves, but the fight continues. Take action now.)

Ravens DC Pagano agrees to become the Colts’ head coach

katiefuckingfitch-:

Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano has agreed to become the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, a league source confirmed Wednesday.

Pagano just ended his first season as the Ravens’ defensive coordinator. Baltimore finished the regular season with the NFL’s third-ranked defense both in terms of points and yards allowed.

I am quite okay with this.

thank god.  i’m not even a colts fan and even i have to say the coach was crap.
