Highlight Reel Take 2!!!

Hello!!!!
Me and Ivana as we wait for A-Team! :)
I know is has been a week since I last posted, but I have been so incredibly busy that I hardly have time to do anything that isn't school related. So, I guess this will be another highlight reel like post and hopefully soon, I will be able to go more in-depth about stuff.
* Ball State just had homecoming week. They lost the homecoming game, which I attended. However, I left the game before the end of the first quarter. It was awful. The other team, Western Michigan I believe, scored TWO TOUCHDOWNS in the first minute of the game! 'Nuff said!
* I met my friend Noelle's mom and grandma on Tuesday or Thursday. They were so sweet and friendly!
* For dinner on Thursday, Noelle, Azia (Noelle's roommate), Erin, and I went to Elliot, where they were having an Alice In Wonderland themed tea party. The food was alright, but the lemon bars for desert were awesome!!! Noelle and Azia were trying to teach Erin and I some Chinese. It didn't work out too well! :)
* I finished my second story for the Daily News (the one about campus safety), and it will be published sometime this week. I also have another story I'm working on about some girls who did an internship with Disney, and that story will hopefully run next week. I'll post links as they become available.
* My story assignment for Ball Bearings keeps changing, but I now have one to work on with my friend Katie about a local gallery in Muncie that is celebrating its one year anniversary. The owner has not returned any emails or calls, so hopefully we get in touch with her soon. That story will be online, as well. I'll post links up for that when it gets published.
* The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ for short) is having a candy fundraiser starting this week. We're selling candy bars every Wednesday from 11-2 for the rest of October. I get to work from 12-1, meaning I have to do my math homework the night before! :)
* A group of my friends and I saw A-Team on Friday. It was a pretty good movie, better than I expected. I would watch it again.
* Terra came here for a college visit. She got here with her mom and a friend yesterday and as I type, she is in the process of the visit part. It was so fun to take her to the Daily News features meeting last night. I hope it was helpful to her and that it made her see that there are so many opportunities in college journalism.

I think that is about it, so I will try to post later again in the week! I love you! :)

The Highlight Reel!!

I am sorry for my lack of blogging. I have been incredibly busy this past week, and it is just overwhelming the amount of work I have to do. I had at least two meeting everyday last week, and that looks to be the case this week, too. I have lots of homework and projects due this week, and I will be turning in my second story for the Daily News this coming weekend. I'll be sure to post it again on here, Twitter, and Facebook.
Anyway, here is a highlight reel of the past week:
*Almost choked and died because of laughing with grapes in my mouth. At dinner with some friends, some creeper guy (a friend of a friend) asked for chapstick and told us his grandma smells like febrezze. Too funny not to laugh!
*Went shopping with Erin and Noelle. Shopping at Target and Walmart can be exhausting!
*Watched Get Him To The Greek (loved as always) and Fight Club (hated)!
*Got a 74% on my Journalism 101 test that I thought I failed (grade went from a D to a B in one week :) )
*Got an honorable mention at the Daily News staff meeting for my hard work!
*Mark Zupan, the guy who wrote the freshman reader, came to campus. Didn't go to his lecture, but ran into him outside of the student center. I went the opposite way (not a fan).
*Had a successful interview with my first head-hancho on campus. The interviewee: the campus police's Public Safety Director. Location of interview: the police station! :)

I can't really think of anything else, so I'll end on that note. I got to finish some more work, but I will try to blog again later in the week! I love you! <3
