I have this odd aversion to the color pink. Yet when I see it in varying shades together it looks so aesthetically pleasing that I cannot but help myself to want to L.O.V.E. it as many other frivolous members of my gender do.
I'm so scared of not getting into TCU. I'm applying to Baylor, utd, uta, and unt.
I'm scared of Baylor as a place. Southern Baptists are enough to scare the living daylights out of anyone anyways. I should know I hang out with them on an almost daily basis.
Government class was surprisingly easy. It's the same amount of work Dr. Lewis gives us for MEH but in a MUCH shorter timeframe so it seems like a lot. I'm sure I got at least an 85 on my quiz.
I am working on the centerspread with Aya this issue. This is going to be my biggest work for the Quill. Hopefully something I can show off to people. It's just me and her and she's a new reporter so it'll be mainly me doing everything as she is also working on a huge sports piece with Cody.
It's about drinking. I really hope we have enough research and cover all the points. I feel like- whenever I edit my own or anyone else's article- that there is so much more to be covered. I don't understand how The Christian Science Monitor, The New York Times, or The Star Telegram know how much to cover.
Obviously background of your topic. The main topic with the 5 w's. Future plans. Quotes/research from all major and minor sources affected/involved by the topic. ----But what to put at the end? Surely something more?
It's like when I write a piece of fiction. I don't know when to stop writing and often have to come up with a hasty terminal line and come back later and simply keep adding to it rather than ending it.
Poetry is different. That is more emotion based and will end when it "feels done".
I'm going to finish my DD course, start reading the Huffington Post online, start looking up internships with NPR, schedule an interview with TCU, complete my applications, and pass all my classes with High B's as a minimum.
And the South Beach diet is very difficult and I don't know whether it's working or not but I'm seeing how bad people eat and how badly I was eating. I also know when I'm full and don't need to continuously snack all the time like I used to.
BUT I REALLY WANT SOME SUGAR AND BREAD AND FRUIT.
I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING HAVE KETCHUP.
AUGH.
My mom says I've lost weight, but it's only been five days, and I see NO difference. I hate this. If this doesn't work I'm giving up and getting the surgery. I've wasted enough of my life with this.
