Journalist

I created a tumblr to help my group for my Mass Comm class to spread the word about how some gov'ts are allowing people to beat up journalist because they're speaking their mind! ITS CRAZY! Here in the US, we are lucky and don't have to deal with this. But, sadly, most other countries do have to deal with it and this is one of the cases thats mind-blowing. I have heard of other cases where they just murder the journalist. This isn't a game! This is serious, real life is crazy sometimes. I bet you you've never heard of such a case. BUT, that's why i am here. To let you fill your brain with knowledge! :)

Here, go to tumblr: http://russianjournalist.tumblr.com/

And Facebook: Join the group and we want your input!

Please write, answer: What you would do? If you got beaten up just for speaking your mind!?

Ads

I've seen some of these ads before, some I haven't, but some of them I can't read because it's in a different language. SO, I want to show this to you guys. Its kind of jaw-dropping because they're offensive or you can't believe your eyes that they actually published 'em at one point. Ridiculous. Just sayin'.

Dear Weather, it's FALL not effin SUMMER!

im like its supposed to be sweater weather not sweat my ass off like summer weather......lmao.

I crack myself up.
ANYWAYS, what's up with the weather lately? Today was hot. I sweated. I'm not suppose to sweat in fall. People were wearing shorts. SHORTS! I'm like it's Oct right? Idk but I think it's hotter in Richmond then Fredericksburg. I think it's because the Sun has a lot of sidewalk/asphalt to soak up. I bet it was somewhat cooler there than here. I want my time of year to be nice like warm but still cool. 70-75 degrees. Not too hot and not too cool. Along with the crisp air...that smell. I love it along with the colors of the trees. Plus, I could wear my sweaters. My cute sweaters. Not bulky stupid jackets, and not too hot where I just wear a tank top or shirt. With sweaters it makes an outfit complete plus I look really cute. ANNNNNNNNNND that's always a plus. Looking cute. :D <3 haha.

At least with these past nights, I can get my kind of weather as long as it doesn't get too cold. I wish the days could feel like these nights. It feels sooooo nice! ugh. Fall needs to be longer. It's the perfect weather and it's not around long :( sad.

disappointment

Seems like I've disappointed a lot of people in my life. Especially recently. I've fucked up pretty bad.

I've disappointed my best friends, my family, band, even my boyfriend.

Seems like the only thing I've been loyal to is Hanson. As sad as that sounds, its true.

I'm kind of surprised that I still have friends and well, I'll just call him boyfriend for this. I still can't believe they want to be around me even though I have disappointed them more than once. I know I'm a good person for the most part, i've done good deeds, went to church, done youth group, helped the community, and all that jazz. But, I know I've done a lot of bad things. I've messed up. I feel guilty about a lot of things but recently I feel like I can't go on much longer. Running on empty. I feel like shit and I can't do anything to fix it but to move on because thats all i can do. Why couldn't I be more honest? Why couldn't I be loyal to anyone thats important to me? Ugh. I guess I just have to learn and move on as hard as it may be. But, I am definitely falling apart.

sometimesssss.........

Sometimes I wish I could wear heels in Richmond. But, I can't. Because have you seen the sidewalks and roads? I pretty much kill myself in flats. That means it'd be committing suicide if I wore heels. But I love them. I want more. :/ Sounds like a love/hate relationship with heels lol. Actually, if I think about it Downtown Richmond is a lot better, like where around the Hat Factory is and where the Martin Agency is. So, if I get a job at the Martin Agency then maybe I can move somewhere in that area.

idk....i can't really think of that now. I need to do SOO GOOD this semester.
I kind of missed an assignment. I can't believe I did that. :( I suck. I'm trying to do sooo good and I still do something wrong. UGHHHHHH!

I'm gonna make it up though by doing this freakin project that seems like no one is talking to me about. But, I do have 2 partners that are being cool about it and trying to get it done ASAP. it's the other dude. not answering anything its ok they wont be in our group.

I feel stressed. But, thats apart of being a college student. -_- sadly.

GENIUS!!!!!!!

I must share this with everybody.

it....is.....just.......AWESOME!!!

it's so smart, i know i'm goin get it. :)

<3

everytime I see the commercial im like woooow! lol ima dork

is AIM dead?

Seriously, I only find like 5 people on AIM anymore. It used to be like a million people were on. Ok, not a million but more than 5!!! I didn't think AIM has gone out of style. right? am i wrong? I guess everyone just strictly uses facebook or twitter or both or blogs such as this one. But these are all just sites, not always directly talking to people, like a chat...quick responses from other people if we can't see them in person. Idk, I just found that strange. Unless, they all changed their screen name and didn't tell me. I sound paranoid. Oh well, it happens.

I'm in a blogging mood for some reason. This like NEVER happens.

I think I understand somewhat on what I have to do on Delicious. The only reason I have that account is strictly because I have to for my mass comm class. Like I said, I already like him waaaaaaaay better than the last teacher I had. This semester seems a lot better than my first semester. Its stupid that I have to re-take classes but, it happens. Re-taking 3 classes this semester then next semester (hopefully i'll pass everything this semester so i can be here next semester)i'll re-take 1 class. yes, i have failed 4 classes already at VCU. I know, not bright.

I just got a phone call from my dad and he just told me that i'm going to have wireless in my apt!!!!! I'm sooooo excited!!!! And I know Sebastian will be thrilled too, then he could do his xbox live and such when he comes over and visits. :D

Anyways, I need to go and call dad back and maybe i'll get some starbucks thats at the bottom of the library. :/ haha oh VCU.

......delicious.....

Does anyone understand how to work delicious.com? Because i definitely don't understand how to tag stories and such. I need to do this for my Mass Communications class. I already like that teacher 100% better than my last Mass Comm. teacher. Or professor I should say. I read on how to use it but of course, I still don't understand.

Anyways, first "week" aka two days of school, went well. I'm EXTREMELY happy that my Ele. Astronomy (that I'm taking again) is so much smaller than that big ass lecture hall.

I like my World Cinema professor, he's german. He's cool.

I only had 3 classes these past two days, but I'm determined to do good this semester.

On Monday, I have to skip my first Int'l Relations class :/ oops, oh well, it's for important reasons. I need to go sleep. I have to get up at 8am tomorrow for a stupid pep band meeting. -sigh-

new stuff....kind of

My 2nd semester of VCU is ending fast and soon. I don't know what grades I have for some classes which is kind of crazy but that's what happens when professor's don't use blackboard a lot.

Right now I am currently looking for jobs and hopefully I can keep myself busy and get this job :) I'm applying for a job! (examiner.com), its kind of like a blog but a lot more people will see it than here. I do kinda wish more people would follow me. (No offense Karen <3) While I'm writing this mock writing it says do NOT put it in 1st person so, I'm going to try not to make it about me. I don't think I am but I am when I don't mean to. All I wanted to do is take the audience with me while I explore things for them through personal experience. I would think that'd be better than just a broad perspective. But, I suppose that's just me.

On a weird and random note: someone knocked on my door and a fireman and some guy was there. They asked if I was cooking and i was like nooo and they were like ok thats fine we were wondering since we got a call about it. I was like ook. I looked outside and there was 2 fire trucks and two white trucks that say fire squad or w/e it is. How did I not notice that?!? lol oh well, at least I didn't have to evacuate. lol

<3

w00t

I haven't been on here for quite some time. BUT, I have been busy with a bunch of things. School, Pep Band, Friends, Studying, etc. Last semester was horrible. But I think this semester is going along much much much better than last semester. :) Which is a good sign...so far so good.

I guess today is one of those days where I don't have homework and it's nice to not do much :) I have throughly enjoyed Pep Band this year, even though we didn't play at the "tailgate" cookout for homecoming weekend because it was cancelled because of snow. I'm the only clarinet... that shows up... regularly. Yea, its sad. I WAS in the front but i slowly got pushed to the back. Yea, me, 2 flute players, and bunch of saxes. Which I guess is ok.... but i am in front of the mellophones or wait, baritones....lol its sad that i don't remember because well, they do kind of look the same.

ANYWAYS, I have been busy and thinking... maybe a lot more than i should... I've been cooking and baking a lot more also. That's been fun, and surprising myself on how good it is :) I haven't read my books in a while. I miss them. Usually when I come home I just wanna relax and not do much. Maybe homework and/or dishes.... only cuz I have to.

.... I need to make dinner... I'm hungry.
