This photo explains it all. That's how my internship makes me feel. :(

Frustrations as Usual
I cannot believe the nerve of some people. I mean, I really can't. As if I didn't like my internship enough! My internship director or whatever the fuck you want to call her, sent me another email full of anger about how I am not putting enough time and effort into my 70 page LIT manual. I would just like to point out, that I am currently on page 63, nearing completion, and that I neglect my projects, papers, and homework in other classes just so I can make the deadlines for this one. That's bullshit. Granted my internship has the most hours, it shouldn't mean that my other classes are less important or worthy of the same amount of study time.
This lady and I do not communicate well at all. I was talking with my Mom and Ashley about it tonight. They both managed to give me similar advice on how to handle her. I should be mature, professional, and let her know that I am trying to do my best with this manual, but I am confused as to what she wants. I prefer face to face time, as opposed to constant emails with very vague or no directions at all. How can she expect a perfect outcome with this.. if she doesn't respond to my calls.. or my emails until two days after I send one out to her? What is this shit? I go in for office hours every Thursday, and I let her know ahead of time that I will be there to discuss the manual.. she simply isn't in the office. Her colleagues tell me she is in a meeting, or is busy and didn't come in. Maybe this is all true, and maybe it isn't, but either way... an internship isn't based off of emails sent back and forth. It is about hands on experience, which is I why I chose this crap in the first place.
This is honestly, the internship from hell. I am so tired of getting the snippety emails from her. Here is an idea of what they are like
"You need a lot of work still; this is very sloppy still, and by no means
do I believe you're put the hours you should into the document, and I
know I've asked you to change the same things more than once."
Really? Have you really now? Then she lists the pages that need correcting, and forgets what she told me to add.. by asking me why did I place that in the manual in the first place.
She wants a rough draft outline by tomorrow at 5pm. Guess I better get started since I emailed her Sunday, and she responds to me today... which is a Tuesday. I love it all.
At least when this semester is over with, I won't ever have to deal with her again, and thanks to Ashley's advice I can look back at this experience as a learning one, and use it to further grow when real world bosses decide to tear me down too. I thought I was good at taking criticism. But, my Mom said it right "You are good at taking criticism when it is warranted, not when it isn't". Makes sense to me.
Besides all that shit.. here is my list of crap... watch it disappear! :)
1. My senior seminar presentation is done... and the class loved it
2. My senior seminar 20 page paper is done.. thank God
3. Rough outline for the LIT manual due this Weds.. fun shit
4. Visible Rhetoric Final Project due the 6th- I'm excited!
5. LIT manual gone and out of my life forever also due the 6th
Can you tell that the 6th is going to be a great day for me?????
Get me outta here!!!!!

Bookworm Baby
This is me just a few months old... I loved to read then. You know what I miss.... I miss... just sitting around and reading a book for kicks. I should read more often these days, but I don't dag nabbit.
I guess that's all I feel like writing about for now. I have to get back to my 20 page senior seminar paper on the banning of books in our school systems. Everyone needs to google this topic and find out more about it. Censorship has to stop!
We out.. .for now. ;)

How Time Flies....
The last four years that I have spent at ISU have changed me as a person. And, I am so thankful for it. The same girl I was as a Freshman, is long gone as the excited/scared shitless Senior getting ready to embark on the adventures of adulthood!
I really need to start applying for jobs. My goals are the following and they are ever changing.
1. apply to a Potbelly's near home seeing as I have previous experience there
2. apply and send out my resumes to big girl jobs... such as technical writing/editing... I want to send apps to jobs in state.. and why the hell not? out of state too. :)
I don't want to live the rest of my life in Illinois. I want to live somewhere else for at least some point in my life.. just to see what it's like. Life is an adventure darnit!
I had a very nice weekend at home. It was nice seeing my family and bringing home Katie. I think she really enjoyed herself.. despite my crazy aunt asking her how much she weighs.. but, she does that to everybody. Seeing my Yia Yia was very difficult emotionally, I just don't think that is going to get easier for me at all. It will always be hard, until the time comes for her to move on. I know she doesn't want to be here..... I just hope she isn't hurting while she is here. :( I miss the healthy Yia Yia, but I know.... she is gone for good now.
Well, I don't feel like getting into that too much, seeing as it depresses me... soo.. onto other things...
My list of things to accomplish before May 8th is dwindling! I have proof! Here it is:
1.LIT manual- I just reached page 61 tonight! That's awesome! I only have 9 more pages to go, a little revising.. and then I am DONE!!!!
2. Visible Rhetoric Final Project- this is gonna be cool.. I am studying the rhetoric of hair and why we color it. Why don't people leave their natural roots? I know I hate my natural hair color.. and there are reasons behind that. I like color so this project will actually be fun.
3. Senior Seminar- next Monday I have a 20 page paper and 10 minute presentation on the Banning of Books in our School Systems due. I am excited about researching it, and putting it together, not so excited about presenting it though. I talk too fast when I get nervous.
Basically, after next week... I AM ALL DONE!!!! I just have to pack up, and get ready for my parents to come down and help me move stuff the 1st, and then graduate the 8th, and leave for good the 9th. :) I have never had so many mixed emotions all at once. How will I contain them all???
Just a few more weeks and my college career will come to an end. I will miss the people so much more than the academic aspects. I debated the grad school idea, but now, I don't think I'm cut out for it... of course, my mind might change in the next few months.. but, I'm not such a good student. I'm quite lazy.... and I procrastinate to the minute before an assignment is due. I just don't think I would be able to keep up with grad school work.
Who knows though, my Mom said she regrets not going to grad school and getting the bigger paycheck, but then if I go to grad school, I might be 'overqualified' when applying for jobs when I get out. Not saying that I can't win either way, but there are certainly pros and cons. I guess I just need to weigh them more. And, being the indecisive creature that I am, it is extremely difficult for me to make such decisions.
I have a feeling this weekend is going to rock. My roommate and I are having a grad party to say adios to everyone.. and we are getting tattoos! No, not the same ones... she is getting her very first tat, and I am getting my second. I am too damn excited!!!! :D
Well, I guess I should get back to my work here... so I can fully enjoy this weekend, because that is all that is keeping me going right now. I can't wait to get away from ISU for good. I'll be back if friends around here want me to visit, but other than that... I'm outta here!!!
Everyone better keep in touch with me though. <3

Goody's
I feel like becoming the new spokesperson for a pain reliever called Goody's. My friend Ashley introduced it to me awhile back as a way to calm the irritating pain of hangovers after a night of fun drunkenness. Well, not only does it help take away hangovers, but it helps take away fever, body aches, and headaches!
I've used it for sinus headaches, and just last night I was in some pretty awful muscular pain which tends to happen with this weather, I mean it was bad... I thought I had mono or something. I took one packet of Goody's and bada bing, bada boom... my pain disappeared within minutes. I'm still pain free today! Although my muscles are tender, nowhere near as raw as before.
Just because it comes in powder form doesn't mean that you shouldn't try it. Don't be scared! It will help you. I would say I'll give you your money back, but alas.. I'm not selling you this product you have to go out and get it yourself.
So Go! And, suffer no more.
Here is a picture if you don't believe me.
And, here is a silly video about Greek Easter. It makes me laugh, and I can't wait to go home and see my Yia Yia. Who is in failing health. :( It has been too long.

I don't have anything else to say.... for now. Except, Xristos Anesti. :)

Stuff in Life
Well, I haven't updated here in quite awhile. It is time I changed that. Starting, now. A lot has happened this week, well nothing too grand or anything like that..it's just been the week from hell for me. I felt like I was a chicken running around with it's head cut off. Just school has been dragging me down as of late, and I'm getting tired of all of the assignments headed my way. I just want this semester to be over with already.
You are going to hear me say that alot, if you don't like it... don't read it... hehe... I'm quite the whiner.
I feel like my internship is taking away study time from my other classes. And, granted it does have the most hours... at 6... it still doesn't mean that my Visible Rhetoric or Senior Seminar classes are worthless by any means. I just feel swamped with the LIT manual. I'm over 30 pages right now, but I have another 40 to go. I think I can do it, it's just a matter of actually doing it that counts. When I start getting stressed, I tend to draw away from whatever the stresser is instead of facing it head on and getting it out of the way. I guess it's the whole fight or flight thing.. and when it comes to stress.. I flee. Into a bottle o booze... just kidding.... sort of.
As far as grades are concerned I think I have a B in my Visible Rhet class, and perhaps a B in my Senior Seminar. I have no idea what the exact grade is. I have no clue how the internship is coming along because my internship advisor is the one that grades that. And, my ever disorganized internship lady still hasn't evaluated me yet. She really is dingy.
My goal was to graduate with a 3.00. I stand at a 2.50. Pathetic, but it is no one's fault but my own. Sometimes you make mistakes, and like they always say.. it's harder to bring that GPA up, but so very easy to drag it down. I better make my goal. It shouldn't be that hard. At least I don't think so.
My list of things yet to do:
1. keep up with the LIT manual til it hit's 70
2. another brochure from Girl Scout's... take a 4 page brochure and shrink it to 2. Hooray
3. Senior Seminar paper 10-15 pages
4. Senior Seminar presentation 10 minutes
5. Senior Seminar portfolio... ever so lengthy
6. Visible Rhetoric- Module 6
7. Visible Rhetoric- Final Project
8. Visible Rhetoric- Final Exam ?
5 weeks of school left to complete all of this. Can I do it? Oh no, I just better. Because I am graduating this May... no matter what!!! And, if anyone hears of any jobs... do let me know... I am certainly intimidated by this economy.
I can't wait to go home for Greek Easter. I haven't been home since Winter Break. I need to get away for awhile.

Stuff in Life
Well, I haven't updated here in quite awhile. It is time I changed that. Starting, now. A lot has happened this week, well nothing too grand or anything like that..it's just been the week from hell for me. I felt like I was a chicken running around with it's head cut off. Just school has been dragging me down as of late, and I'm getting tired of all of the assignments headed my way. I just want this semester to be over with already.
