FIRE! Graduation and the Job Hunt!

So this week turned out to be rather event full. Monday I produced sports for the newscast from 2-11. I also had a package run during my show. It was a really cute story about some senior citizens who play a nintendo Wii while living at Tiger Place (an independent living center in Columbia). After my shift I was starving having not gone home to get supper during my shift because I was working on my package. So I decided to cook myself a delicious meal of chicken, carrots, celery and etc. stir fry! I sat the pan on the burner and barely a minute later it burst into flames! HUGE FLAMES! It set off the alarm system at CCH where I live and woke all the girls. All 40 of us! I had to put it out with a fire extinguisher but not before the microwave also caught fire! It was awful. I felt terrible because it was 1 AM and then to top it off the firemen showed up. Super. After they left my friends helped me clean up the mess that the fire and the fire extinguisher had left behind. (BTW fire extinguishers emit a substance very similar to fine grained saw dust) It was a pain to clean up but I was lucky to have amazing friends to help! After clean up it was already 2:30 AM and I was still hungry and now sad and embarrassed, so my boyfriend took me to Hardee's to get some food. Then on Wednesday I started to feel really ill, eventually I got sick to my stomach which later was attributed to the medication I was on. Go figure, the medicine helps to be not sick in one way but then sick in another. Another awesome event of the week. So Thursday I felt a bit better and dragged myself to class and then got around to go shoot my final package for sports class. I drove all the way to Harrisburg just to turn around because the people never showed up. HAHA. So what have I learned from this week? That I have bad good luck, but can still laugh at myself. Now as I head into the weekend I am going to be bunkering down tomorrow and Sunday to study/prepare/memorize/etc. for the four finals I have this coming week (which I might add is NOT finals week even though it includes my finals!) I have 3 toughies on Tuesday but the other final is Thursday and it is the least hardest. As I see it, I technically have one had rough week left and then can celebrate GRADUATION! I am excited for so many reasons, but sad for others. I DO have a job, not much pay, but its a journalism job so that is a giant bonus. I DONT have a place to live yet but that will pan out too I am sure. I look forward to working my last web shifts at KOMU, but will most likely miss the action when its gone! But that is how the story goes!

Graduation is 15 days away...and counting!
