Let Em' Down Easy
So there are these two guys that I am talking to, well...they are talking to me. lol. I went out with one of the guys Friday. I figured I had nothing to lose.
Well the date or whatever went well, but when we went out to eat and seeing his face across from me, I was just thinking to myself, "What am I DOING?" I mean I don't like him like that...AT ALL. lol. I just don't know how to tell him. He just seems so fragile. haha. This is DEFINITELY something that I need to work on. I can no longer drag these nice but NOT MY TYPE GUYS along. lol. There is no hope for them...I want them to know that, but in a nice way. haha.

TIME
So I just thought of something else. lol. This summer, I had plans. I wanted to work or intern(paid), specifically in my field and then spend the rest of my time studying for the GRE.
Well, it's already almost July and though I have an internship in my field, it is not paid so I have no money and the work I have at the JFP has really left me no time to concentrate on getting ready for not only the GRE but the LSAT as well. (I recently decided that I want to get my law degree. lol)
I am just like going CRAZY! Like I seriously need a planner where I can plan out the time to do this stuff. I mean this internship is GREAT experience, but at the same time, I need to be planning for my future: GRAD SCHOOL. smh. Something has GOT to give.

GOOD and BAD
So yesterday I had an AWESOME day! First of all, it was my beastie's birthday so later that night we hung out at Club Magoos. It was both of ours first time going, but we had a GREAT TIME!!! lol. That was really my first time in a club that has a diverse group of people. lol. But even before all that, I had an assignment earlier that day where I went to a horse camp to interview students on a camp that they pretty much run and started. I had like the BEST TIME EVER!!! haha. It was totally a new experience for me. I got to meet new people and see new things.
TODAY...I was still on my high from the previous day, but yesterday's high was crushed...SLIGHTLY. I came in today, and one of the editors blew up at me, not really but it hurt a lot haha, because I didn't turn in a story at time. You should have seen my face on the inside. lol. I was just like WHAT?! I am a stickler for deadlines and I just knew that I hadn't missed a deadline. Apparently when she asked me if I could have the story in by Friday, she meant Friday morning before I came in, and not Friday before I left like she usually does.
I beat myself up mentally for like at least 30 minutes . smh. I was just so mad at myself, but then I was like, "F this spit." haha. It might not have been the best reaction, but hey. I am an extreme person at times. It either it is really good or really bad.
Note to self: Work on a happy medium. haha.
Well that all I had to say.

Changing the World
Working at the JFP, reading all the articles about major political issues and stories about finding justice has made me REALLY consider getting my law degree. I want to get involved with politics in SOME sort of way, and a law degree will definitely help me to do so. Idk. I am still thinking about it. I just know that whatever I decide to do in life, I want to be of service to others. I want to make a change in the community. I just have a lot of ideas and opinions. I just want to be able to share them with others and impact people in a positive way.
Well...until next time,
Well...until next time,
Nothing Like Understanding
So I introduced my mom to my friend Don because of all the encouragement from others to do so. haha. When we got to my house I was so confident. I brought Don in and let him talk to my mom while I listened and gave my two cents every now and then. lol.
After about 20-30 minutes, we left. It was Don's birthday weekend. We had other things to do. lol. When we left, we both felt really good about the meeting so now it was time to PARTY. lol. So because of Don's b-day, of course things got a LITTLE crazy and so much so that I didn't make it home until after 3 a.m. that day. smh. I won't go into details. haha.
During that time my mom kept calling and leaving messages. I understood that because I didn't get home to pretty late, so yeah.
The next day I went over there initially to retrieve items that were left from the previous day, but of course I ended up staying longer. During that whole time, my mom was calling like a CRAZY person. smh. I wasn't even over there long before she called and told me to come home. I was like okay but I was really thinking WTF?! haha.
I got home and my mom wanted to talk. *rolls eyes* She sounded REALLY weird. She was just like you shouldn't be out like that with him...BLAH BLAH BLAH. I was just thinking before you met him you didn't mind. Then she said something that made me realize she was TOTALLY confused.
Apparently, my mom thought that Don and I were dating. 0_O REALLY?! I cleared it all up and she was just looking some type of way. haha.
I am just glad that all of that got straightened out. Moral of the story: DON'T ASSUME.

Internship Goals
So...I told you guys about how I got this internship with Jackson Free Press, which is so awesome, but I felt really intimidated when I started. There are all these GREAT people here. They know what they are doing, and here I am this...AMATEUR. haha. My skills don't even compare to all that they do. smh. TERRIBLE. Well today we had an intern workshop. We introduced ourselves and kind of talked about what we want to get out of this internship and then we talked about what JFP was all about to us. Then a previous intern came in to talk to us about his experiences. While he was talking, I was just thinking to myself, "WOW. I could be like this guy. I could be GREAT." I want to be a great intern. And even more than that, I want to be able to step out of comfort zone and really get to know these people. I mean I have a whole summer with them. That is like two more months! lol. I just want to not compare myself to the people I work with and be intimidated by them. I want to be comfortable enough where I can come and talk to them and ask for advice. *crosses fingers* haha.
Until next time,
