Feeling Good

I wanted to write this blog while I have break in between my classes (I have 2 more to go for the day). I have a lot on my mind and I wanna get it out.

I'm feeling really good. I plan on doing very well this academic year. I have too much in stake to get lazy now. When I was a freshman, I was lost in sauce. Now that I am a "sophisticated" sophomore, lol , I am more determined and not (as) lazy as I was last year. I am aiming for A's &&. B's. C's are accepted, but that's not what I want, lol. Yesterday, I went to an interest meeting for the school's online magazine. I really want to be a part of that. Today, I saw a flyer for an interest meeting for the school's journalism club and they are having a trip to New York so the people that are interested can meet the big wigs in different journalism establishments. I'm thinking about going to that. Then I saw applications for the John H. Johnson's School of Communication's (School of C!!! ::puts up the C's::) annual job fair. The deadline was the 5th (last Friday), but I'm going to try and see if they are still admitting applicants. I NEED an internship next summer. Last summer, I had an interview with Maxin Digital but I didn't get it.

I am on my grind, HARD, lol. Like, I am not playing. I'm carving the path that I want for myself and I can't slack. Ain't no half stepping this time around, lol. You have to work hard for what you want and that's what I'm starting to do. I know that I also have to network and stop being such a hermit crab.


On a lighter note, I have a song of the week (Courtesy of http://renaissanceblackwoman.blogspot.com/ , I'm in love with this song now!) I stumbled upon it yesterday reading her blog and this is my new jam, added to the list of many, lol. This is Common ft. Marsha Ambrosious & Bilal - "The Light 2008 (It's Love)"

The Light 2008 (Its Love) - Common

H---UUUU, you KNOW!!!
Awwww, another Howard person. I JUST graduated last may (It still doesn't feel real) but I get sooooo unreasonably hyped whenever I find another Howard person, ANYWHERE in the world, especially another school of C person.
As for the job fair, unless they've changed something, you can still register on the actual day of the event, you just can't set up any appointments for interviews, you have to do walk up interviews. Honestly, I think I only did the pre set appointments once and every other year, I just went with hella resumes and the Howard "I'm the shit, you better hire me" swag. LOL
Good luck though
