I don't really know why you'd be here. I mean, I know I'm the single most interesting person, but don't you people have lives? Really, it's quite sad.

The crows are stalking me. I just heard them and the other night I saw a flock of them in a tree by the Ganton Circle parking lot. Help me!!
My meeting this morning went really well especially for the response I got, which was about what I expected. I like my Prof Ross meetings because they're comfortable and I always leave happy. Meanwhile at ISU I never once met with my advisor and the only contact I ever had was an email telling him I was transferring and asking if there was anything special I needed to do. Anyway, she liked that I was wanting to help Mike out, but wanted me to see if there was anywhere else in the area I could find a real internship where I would be learning from someone not just doing things on my own. She said if I couldn't find anything else, we'd see if we could make MukRadio work, but otherwise I could just do it in addition to an internship. So places I'm supposed to check with over the next week: KASI/KCCQ, Iowa State Center, City of Ames, and Ames Convention and Visitor's Bureau. I would be happy to intern at any of those places and still intend to throw some ideas at Mike and help him get the name out there.
Now I'm off to make a brochure (I want Microsoft Publisher and Adobe Illustrator!), study for a quiz, and pack for this weekend.

Alex and I had a very good conversation the other day, which hasn't happened on AIM in a while because I'm usually just too distracted or busy. One of the topics discussed was the state of Christian music right now. Basically, there's more crap than good and I'm really tired of it and how commercialized it's become. This is one reason I haven't really considered even interning in Nashville. I don't want to think that I'm making it worse. Maybe if Squint still existed, that'd be different. ;) We then discussed how I should be either a DPS (Director of Parish Services....aka deaconess) or a DCE (Director of Christian Education). I have not completely ruled out either of these. Those of you who've known me long may remember that a DCE is what I was seriously considering for several years in middle school and early high school. However, I still feel that I am currently where God wants me as far as school and major. I am feeling distinctly not led to Nashville, though, which brings me to my internship idea and what could be done with my major if one doesn't go to Nashville. At this point, personally, I'd rather work with a radio station or concert promoter or other such fun things.
Many of you know that I've had internships on my mind for several months now. A few weeks ago, I was sitting at my computer loading up the now 24/7 MukRadio when an idea hit me: work this summer on promoting MukRadio! After picking myself up off the floor and marking the date on the calendar, I picked up the internship packet from my advisor and emailed Mike to see if he was interested in having that much work put into promotion and willing to do the evaluation and stuff required of my "employer." He was excited and thought the idea was great! Tomorrow I have a meeting with Prof Ross to see what she thinks of this as an internship opportunity for me. I will let you know how things go.

That was seriously the best post I've ever written. I promise. I am so incredibly ticked off. I will never again ignore the voice that says "you should copy this all to the clipboard just in case." I'll bet it's because I voluntarily gave money to TEE yesterday. I'm now going to watch Gilmore Girls, eat chocolate, and drink Pepsi.
I just spent a good two hours on a post and it's completely gone. I hate Blogger. I might try to recreate it later, but it was a masterpiece, so I don't know if it's possible. I can't express how mad I am. I need to go scream. Have a lovely day.

I'm going to hell for this. I just bought $24 worth of non-textbook-items from The Evil Empire. However, in my defense, the majority of it was a really cool Greenville College baseball cap and the rest was three superdiscounted CDs. All of this was purchased with a 25% off coupon from my perks card which was only filled up by purchasing things I couldn't get anywhere else or Greenville College paraphernalia or textbooks--all over a span of over 5 years. Still, though, it hurts. I am asking for forgiveness.

OK, so what's been up? Too much.
There appears to have been no easing into the semester as was the case in the fall. We just kinda plunged into the deep end right off the bat.
Last weekend I was completely insane and went home to Ames with Levi. I hung out with family, my old roomie, and some of the goofs from church. It was a good weekend. Levi and I didn't leave, however, until 11pm on Sunday. Therefore, we got to Greenville around 6:15am Monday morning. I had an exam at 10:30. I crashed on my bed and set my alarm for 9:30 so I could get a few hours of sleep in--FORGOT TO TURN IT ON. Genius. I woke up at 10:28 and went "crap! I have a test!" So I threw on some shoes and a sweatshirt, ran to class in my clothes from the day before, and made it there before he even handed out the test. I really think it went pretty well and I even had time to go to the union and get breakfast before my next class. I am still, however, trying to get my sleep pattern back on track.
Excuse me while I go add a third rose to the vase in our room...it's a bud vase trying to hold 3 roses and the pretty stuff they came with....I have faith in it. We can officially get no more flowers. Three is capacity I think.
I guess it's Valentine's Day, isn't it? hmm...coulda fooled me. ;) No, really, I got some pretty cool Valentines including a rose, nice comments from the girls on my floor (my whole dorm got those), and a small heart-shaped box of candies from Ruth and Judy, the two most adorable cleaning ladies in the world! They're supersweet to work with. I think I'm hanging out tonight with some of my friends from my floor who are going to Olive Garden for supper--NO BOYS ALLOWED! :)
So Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
And Happy Birthday, Bill!
Other slightly random news, quick: I am about one advisor meeting away from the internship I want for the summer. That is perhaps a little optimistic, but I'm praying she will see this as a valid internship. I'll keep ya'll posted. In the meantime, listen to MukRadio! (24k) or (56k)
