saturday :)

So blog world, it's Saturday, which is probably my favorite day of the week. A lot of people seem to be particularly fond of Sunday, because it's a day of relaxation because there isn't much to do, but for me, Sunday means I realize how much I procrastinated the week before and have to catch up on homework.

Saturday = I'm still in denial about what work I have to do(10) + happy Liz


I multiplied "I'm still in denial about what work I have to do" by 10 because I really, really am in denial and really, really have a lot of stuff to get done. But, don't ask me to figure out an equation anymore difficult than that. Math just isn't my thing. But, I guess that's why I'm a journalism major. Wall Street Journal knows what's up. Read this article here.

Anyways, obviously, I'm sitting here writing in my blog right now, but I'm also listening to my iTunes. And, I know you are so interested in my life, that you are wondering "Well, gee wiz, Liz. What are you listening to?"

I'm listening to Bowling for Soup- "You and Me." Bam. Sha-bam. flo-ham.

And in case you were also wondering, yes, I am bored.

So after having a little dispute with Ray last night I decided I need to learn a better way to channel my frustration. Whenever I get upset, the fact that I get upset overrules my ability to communicate effectively. I can't let this happen, because it leads to me getting more upset because Ray has no idea what the hell is going on and I can't effectively explain. It doesn't really happen that often, I feel like for the most part I'm easy-going. But sometimes, I just don't know what happens. I know I have to try to get better at that, and I really really want to, but it's not something that I can do with just the flip of a switch. It'll take time.

In other news, well, there isn't any other news. It's saturday, which is do nothing day, like I said before. So, I'm going to end this post now, and continue with my weekend.

WQED internship

Ok. So, I haven't blogged in a pretty long while. In my defense I was busy right before spring break, and then during spring break I didn't have the time because I was away, and well, this week I have been fairly busy too!

So, I went to an interview today with WQED which is the pbs station in Pittsburgh. I applied for the OnQ internship where I'd be helping with the production of the nightly magazine show, OnQ. I think the interview went well, out of everything I've applied for, this is my top pick. I wanted to try something other than writing.

After the interview, they showed me the Mr. Rogers set. It was pretty sweet. It was cool to see the set because Mr. Rogers is a show I watched all of the time when I was growing up, and it's nice that a show like that is from Pittsburgh.



I was also shown the set of QED Cooks, and the host/cook of the show, Chris Fennimore was getting ready to tape while I took a peek! But, that wouldn't mean much to anyone that doesn't get WQED on their television.

Today there's a party at my apartment. It's the AKPsi Big/Little party. I only plan on sticking around until a little bit after lizzy gets done at work.

This weekend I have a lot of catching up to do for my Contributiong Editor internship with College Prowler. yay. :( But hopefully it isn't too bad.

I think this is a sufficient update for now. I will try to write again sooner than later!
