For all those who are used to seeing my hair long, I would like to announce that my long hair is all gone now. It’s been a while since I had a real haircut and I think I am enjoying the short hair very much. Summer started off nice and cool but as soon as it started getting hotter, I heard a voice in my head saying ‘Cut off your hair, you’ll be at least a pound and a half lighter’!

Brian Williams came to me in a dream last week.

It’s pretty rare that members of the NBC family make visits to my sub conscious (I’m looking at you, Lorne Michaels), and my mass media major seems to have little to no effect on the needs of the Super Awesome Fun-Time Network News Club to stop by for a cup of tea and some Scrabble.

It is really hard to believe that it has already been a year since I graduated from High School!  This last weekend I went home to lovely Valley City, North Dakota for the graduation ceremony and was a moment full of crazy nostalgia.

As always, this friday started out quiet and peaceful with a hope that it will soon be the weekend. I was up at 6:30 AM! Seriously who does that?? I got to work at about 7:55 AM, still in a daze from not being completely awake. I expected it to be yet another ordinary Friday. I did wake up when I saw Erica wearing the same exact shirt that I was wearing.
