Today is November 15th. This entry will not be posted for 30 days.
There has been so much to blog/tweet/facebook update about in the last 24 hours. It's been an agonizing process trying to filter all my thoughts or stresses in a different way and today is no exception. I thought a few days ago I was over this stress. It is true...I am not. I have another 18 days left in this little experiment and it's agonizing.
Last night, I came home to a yard full of trash. My kind "white trash" neighbors from a previous post, decided my yard needed decorating with my own trash. So, I put out a video camera to catch them red-handed. Nothing. They're mad because I didn't let them mooch of my trash service (or make me pay extra for their trash because they were too cheap to get their own or too immature to not come talk to me about possibly using mine). People never cease to amaze me.
I waited in line 20 minutes for my Starbucks today. This was a painful thing not to tweet about.
I also gave a class presentation in COM 415 on a case about the Medicare Cuts that were being faced back in 2007. I'm pretty sure I nailed it. Mostly because my previous experience with the subject gave me a wealth of knowledge that wasn't in the case itself. My professor and advisor, Dr. Bond, complimented me on it. That made me feel pretty good.
I also mentioned this "Cyber Death" experiment to Dr. Bond today for a few reasons. First of all, I tweeted all the time and he read most along with my blog. He has been teaching on the importance of social media in this class and I didn't want him to think I wasn't taking his lectures to heart. I was. In fact, became what has lovingly been called a "Twitter Bender" by another PR student in the program. Dr. Bond asked me how the experiment was going and I confessed it was difficult.
One thing I am so thankful for in this school and in this program is my advisor. He knows me by name. I can get in touch with him at any time (twitter, facebook, email, text message). Not to mention, he personally invests in getting to know the students. Before being a PR major (I was an education major, journalism major, and business major at one time or another), I always got lost in the shuffle. Which, consequently, may have been what led to my doubt about the other majors. I've never felt like a career was this much of a good fit for me. But it is. I so enjoy every facet of this program. I think it would be wonderful to teach communication theory one day. I love communication theory. I never would've known how much I loved it if it weren't for this major. Okay...enough of that. This will be posted during finals week, so I've done enough sucking up to Dr. Bond to hopefully get a passing grade.
I've also had a hard time getting enrolled for next semester's classes. I have 4 semesters left in my college career and the PR department is growing making it harder to get into a class that's only given in the spring each year before it's completely full. I'm hoping Dr. Bond can work his magic. I guess by the time this is posted, he'll probably have already done it.
I've also had a few technology deaths in the last week. My work computer (which I loved) crashed. So, I was given a dinosaur in it's place. I mourned that loss. Then, my charging cord for my little laptop stopped working. I have an eeepc and you can't just get a new cord at Best Buy...you have to get it from the company who makes the laptop. So, I'm now using my old Dell dinosaur laptop that was crawling slow until I deleted almost everything off of it. Me and computers this week...not so much.
For now, that's about it. I've written a book. But you know what? I feel so much better!
