ok, yes it hasn't been that long since i wrote last.. what.. 2 days? but SO much has changed! today in particular! it started out as a normal monday...
when classes finished at 12 i had lunch and went to the journalism computer lab to get a head start on some homework and then the bomb hit! not literally... but i realized (after looking solely out of curiosity) that my film minor has very specifically scheduled classes, and if i were to study abroad in the fall i would miss the first class that began all the pre-requisites. so i went to talk to my favorite journalism professor, dr. c. who told me that i would have to graduate a semester late if i were to study abroad in the fall... which is NOT ok.
ok so fall is out, obviously. spring might work if there is a certain scriptwriting class offered at a certain time, but we'll have to see, no one is sure at this point. after i realized that the fall wouldn't work i decided to try and shoot for being a connections leader (which i have wanted to be for a year, and was really bummed that studying abroad in the fall would ruin that) so there seemed to be some silver lining :)
i ran down to the student involvement office and found out that applications were due that day at 5 p.m. (it was 1:30 at the time) so i ran back to the lab, filled out the information, ran to my advisors office to get a recommendation, wrote all 6 of the essays required, and ran my application over to samford's admissions office to turn in. then i signed up for an interview (march 22nd!) and called my parents to tell them the crazy news and begin brainstorming how i'm going to plan out the rest of 2010.
here's how it looks so far:
- tell shipley (the head of international studies) that i'm out for this fall
- check with the english dept. to see about the screenwriting class
- make out my film schedule with dr. c.
- get an internship at news channel 5 this summer
- get accepted as a connections leader (fingers crossed!)
- work all summer (and take a class at community college?)
- get an internship at a birmingham station this fall
- run for an office with samford's chapter of the national broadcast society (and sojourn/entre nous?)
- figure out rooming for next semester
- get a 3.0
geeze, this has definitely turned into a juggling situation. don't get me wrong, i love it... i feel like this is a puzzle someone gave me to work out, and i feel really accomplished when i get it (i'm telling you, i'm a geek) ;) but holy cow i feel like today God just decided to open the flood gates and throw everything in my arms at once. but as tom petty says "it'll all work out", now give me a sec to go put on my faded jeans and soft black leather..
