It’s hard to believe that it’s been over two years now since everything was turned upside down.
It never gets easier. You just grow accustom to it.
And I miss the way everything used to be.
In the process of applying for the Stone & Holt...
It’s a 12-week NPR internship followed by a 12-week Washington Post internship.
It pays $800 a week.
Located in Washington DC.
The objective is to learn how to “make the world a better place.”
It is my absolute dream job. And the idea of applying for it terrifies me. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something more, yet have such a small chance of even being a...

Gahhhhh.
Spending the evening in my pajamas, sipping Barefoot and finishing up articles for the Oakland Post and 944.
I love being a journalist so much. The people I get to talk to on a regular basis are incredible. It makes the minuscule salary and unreal hours worth it.

Went to Detroit
Attended the MPA conference and was give a check for $1,000
Saw a million cars in the ditch
Attended the first ever alcohol-permitted tailgate at OU
Watched OU win the Homecoming game 100-70
Got drunk at 2 in the afternoon
Took a picture with a John Mayer look-alike
Got killed in beer pong at the after-party
Watched SNL
That’s more than I usually do in a week.
Something HAD to give.
I’ll be the first to admit that what is happen in Egypt right now is awful.
But until the US stops giving so much aid money to such a corrupt government, this sort of uprising is the only thing that’s going to bring about change.
Mubarak should have seen this coming…
The President of Student Affairs bought me a drink...
All my previous complaints are void.
I have the best job ever.
I've already done two interviews today.
I don’t want to do any more.
So not in the mood to go to an event where I have to walk up to random people I don’t know and ask them about their lives after OU.

At least I...

My family.
Currently owe my parents $180 out of my next paycheck for gas, books and my phone bill. AKA half of it.
So sick of being broke. Doesn’t help that OU is making us wait three weeks into the semester to pay us.
/whine.
It's 5 p.m. and I've been hungover since 1 p.m.
I guess this is what happens when you have Breakfast & Booze with the Posties before work.
