My So-Called Spring Break

So it’s finally spring break. Unfortunately, it doesn’t feel like it though because I have so much work to do.

On top of looking for a job, I also have to catch up with a lot of school work.

For my online journalism class I plan on re-doing the entire look of my website. I’m very excited about this because I have a really cool idea (but you’ll have to wait and see!). All I can say is that I will be using Photoshop to execute the design.

I also have to work on my media kit for Eng 410, my professional writing class. During my time off I’ll be working on an industry backgrounder, a recommendation report, two biographies and a memorandum for my fictional organic coffee shop, Aphrodisiacs.

Even though I have time off from my internship at EIC, I still have a big project to work on. I pitched a story last week about a woman I met at Picture This! I need to get in touch with her so I can start writing the story and sending it out on spec to publications.

And finally, I have a midterm in Comm 380, media criticism, the Thursday that classes start again. It shouldn’t be too difficult, but I need to set aside some time to look over the material.

It would be an understatement to say, "I’m overwhelmed." But in a way this is good for me because I work better under pressure. I just have to keep reminding myself, "Graduation in May, graduation in May, graduation in May…"
