December Blues?

This is the time of year that I can't decide whether to be happy or sad. I'm happy that school is over for this semester and I'm happy and thankful that I'm around most of the people that I love for the holidays. The sad part is that I really don't have that one special person to spend it with. I always feel the same around Valentine's Day too. For me, I don't like Valentine's Day because I don't think you should only spend one day showing a person how you feel about them. You should do that all year round. Same with Thanksgiving. You souldn't only spend one day a year telling people what your thankful for. Anyway, I have always loved the holidays. I love everything about them. I bake cookies, wrap presents, go shopping. The shopping part I don't do that much because I hate people in stores. I do a lot of my shopping on line. Nevertheless I love the holidays. This years been looking up lately as well. I met a great guy online and I'm going out with him on Wednesday for the first time, so I think this holiday season is looking up. I'm working on Christmas this year at the radio station. I'm watching the building for 4 hours well the 28 hours of Christmas is on. So I'm really not going to be on the air that day. I'm spending the holidays with my family, minus my older sister. It's her first year away on Christmas. She's staying on Boston with her boyfriend and his family. He has a young brother who still believes in Santa, so it's understandable that she's staying there. She's coming in January one weekend, so we'll have our second Christmas then. Anyways, if I don't post before the holidays, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. Take care!!

End of Semester

It's definitely not the end of semester blues as many people may say...I'm just so happy that it's almost over. Last week of official classes ended today. My big presentation is over, papers turned in, all I have left is finals week. That doesn't consist of as much as it used to. Just turning in a few papers, listening to a few presentations and taking one written test. I have been so stressed over everything, it's nice that I finally see an end in sight. Going back in January, there will be more papers and stress but after May comes and I graduate, then I have to actually find some way of making a living, which is harder than school I'd imagine. A Master's is always a possibility, but I'm just so tired of school work right now. You get to a point in time after being in school since you were 4 or 5 years old, that you just can't take it anymore, and that's where I am right now. I'm working on the radio this weekend as well. Both days--Saturday: 2-7:30 pm and Sunday: 11-3pm. I don't think I've had a weekend off if almost a year there, but I'm not complaining. I love working there, I wish I could get on during the week, but school doesn't allow me to do that much. The holidays are upcoming though, so therefore I'll be on the radio working. Anywhere you are, you can listen to me this weekend or any weekend or weekday via the internet. We're streaming online at www.lite987.com. So if you're looking for something to do sometime, check it out...it's cool...my pics up there too under the On The Air page under Work Escape Weekends at the bottom of the page. Anyway, the weekend is upcoming and I am in the middle of a CSI marathon from my many CSI DVD's so I'm gonna get going...let me know what you want me to post next and I'll get it up here soon...remember finals are still coming up this week, so posts may be limited until the following week.

Background

Hi, thanks for checking out my blog! I'll start out with just a little background on myself. Senior at a local college in central New York. Graduating in May with a degree in Journalism. I'm struggling through some papers right now, senior year makes it really busy! Anyway, I have two part time jobs. I work as a Food Service Aide at a nursing home--going on five years. I've also worked for 2 years as a DJ on a local radio station--actually the number one station in our area. I love it. I've wanted to be a DJ since high school, and now I'm trying to make it happen. I'm actually becoming really nervous about having to enter the "real world" next year. Anyway, that's just the start for my blog and a little background info on myself. Hope you enjoy! :)
