Tuesday I started getting myself together and making some phone calls, none of which were returned, which stressed me out. Wednesday I made more phone calls and got a …

Yesterday I had a crappy day. Really, really crappy. I’ve been given an assignment at the newspaper that has left me feeling over my head and completely lost – why do I have to be the one to do a multi-part series on the economy when I know absolutely jack-all about the economy?!?!? In fact, …

Since I started working at the Caledonian Record I’ve been clipping out all of the pieces that ran with my byline. I’ve always liked to have a record of my work and I figured that I wasn’t writing that much, so it wouldn’t pile up too quickly.

This shedding my shyness thing is turning out to be really interesting. Today I had a chance to shoot some pictures of people cooling off at a swimming hole nearby for the newspaper. It was really fun because I got to hop around on the rocks and talk to several different people.

Today I turned in my third Business Watch column at the newspaper. This is notable for two reasons:
1. Now that I’ve done three of them I can almost convince myself that it’s not a fluke and they’ll keep letting me do it. 🙂
2. I was an absolute maniac the first two weeks. In …

Pizza. Yep. Pizza. I love a good pizza. I haven’t been eating it that often recently because I’ve been cutting way back on wheat and gluten. But tonight I indulged in a pizza with my mom and oh…my…goodness… It was so good.
Thank you God for making pizza. Or at least, for making the people …

“May you live in interesting times.” It is said to be an ancient Chinese curse.
As I listen to the news today of Osama Bin Laden’s death, I can’t help but think that these are, in fact, interesting times. People gather in droves to celebrate a death. People hear news that they’ve been yearning for …
