| Ok, so my summer is FINALLY figured out. Took me way too long, but I think I am very happy with it, so here goes.
I will be interning at WTNH News Channel 8 in CT at their news department. I will shadow reporters and well as write some content and work with producers. There are a huge number of interns accepted to the program, so I worry about leaving my mark, but, I do that with everything. Hopefully I will be trusted and given real responsibility. Hopefully I will learn that I love this business. I am excited to return to a working, professional envirnment, because I leanred so much with NBC. I loved being treated as an adult, and can't wait to return to that atmosphere. I have a 45 minute-1 hour commute, which is gross. But I'm hoping to work Tues-Thursdays so that I have a 4 day weekend. I am going to substitute the days I am not working (dear Wolcott Public Schools, you have had my paperwork since December, lets get your act together) through May and June, and then come July I will either work through a temp agency, or take the month to focus just on interning. Depends on how the internship goes and what my plans are with friends. I am putting goals for the summer down now, so we will see how much I can accomplish in the next 3 months.
NYC Trips, and a lot of them. I must at least one to see Matt, one to see Bobby, one to see Alexa, and another to see them again.
Rhode Island trip to see Adam
Alyssa trip to CT
Trip to Alyssa's and the beach
Trip to Andrew
Boston to see Laura and Nick, Mandy, Luke?
Trip with T-10 crew to an undeterminded location
OC re-visted with Gina
Trip to IC to visit Laurel
Meet up with Chris and Kate in PA?
Lots of visits with William
Too much time with my Fab girls
Rebuilding friendships with people from high school
Form friendships with other interns
Bond with Shayyyyyyna
Figure out study abroad for Spring
Ok, so there is a lot of driving involved, so we know that will all never happen. But one can hope for at least half of the list to be completed and that will work well enough. I see this as an expensive summer though, so I need to figure out ways to earn money asap. Anyone need a babysitter? LOL I miss those days. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |

Awww... I miss Italia! This semester has gone so fast, I cannot believe I spent five weeks in Italy and have now been back here for 2 months! 2 months! Already. I want to go back, but back to that month, not just the city of Turin. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So I know I owe you all a huge update about the past month, but I am still working on finding words to explain it. I will try soon, but after talking to Jen today I realized that I am not ready yet. I was catching up on everyone elses LJ posts from the past month though, and took this quiz from Laurel-Lee. Fitting, I feel

While it has been nice to be home I am SOOOO excited to get back to Ithaca. I miss the Sept. 1 and the other girl who lives there ;). I miss the boys. I miss my other girlies and chick nights. I miss the babies. I miss the juniors, and the half of them that are away from campus this semester even more. I miss everyone else who doesn't fall into one of those catagories too. I'm excited to catch up with everyone. But DEF still in an adjustment period.
I talked to Kate for a good while last night, and I think she put it best. She was saying how hard it will be to go back to classes after having worked a real job in DC all semester, and I think I agree. I loved working with professionals who treated me with respect and responsibility. I just want to spend the next two years working internships and learning hands on, I cannot imagine sitting through 3 hour classes next week. And writing research papers on the history of the Olympics. Sigh. I will update about what I did all month, soon. | | comments: Leave a comment |

My appoligies for the lack of updates, but there is nothing new to report. I am still in CT. I miss my ICers. I will post the link to my Torino blog soon. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | I know this has been a draining weekend in general so I'm just being a bit dramatic, but I wish so much that I was back in Ithaca tonight. And I know that it is a dream come true to be going to Torino, but right now I am still in Wolcott. Thank God Gina is still home or else I would be finished for sure, but I wish I could spend a few days with my Ithaca kids before I leave. I have never been a fan of long breaks from Ithaca, and yet here I am, one month out with another 2 to go! Chris and I talked about it, and I am well aware that once I get off to Torino I may have the best experience and won't want to come back, but right now I am not at that point. I am just in Conneticut. The girls are all having dinner together. And I'm in my igloo of a house. Just know that I love you guys, am thinking of you constantly, and want to hear about everything that I miss this semester. Please e-mail me as soon as something noteworthy happens. I don't want to get home in March and get this abreviated version of things that were amazing a month and a half ago. Even if I don't get the emails until March, I rather them be in the moment accounts. Please? Miss you so much. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Tiffany: we will have lots of slumber parties :-P
Tiffany: no sleep
Tiffany: ever
Tiffany: and you have to scope out the surroundings and all the hot spots before I get there on the 4th
Tiffany: so we can get our invites into the olympic village
Is it horrible that I still am not in a mindset of planning for this at all. When is it going to hit me? All I am concerned about is buying appropriate clothes and packing them. I need to get my butt in real, going abroad, planning gear. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | 2006. I can't believe it's a new year already; everything that has happened since last January 1st seems to have gone by SO quickly. It was a good year, full of strong friendships, smiles, memories, some tears, and a lot of self examination and growth. I feel like a very different person from the beginning of 2005, but I think 2006 holds great things in store for me too. It's crazy to think how much has changed in a year, the people I have met, the things I have accomplished, the mistakes I have grown from. Some things seem so long ago, and it has only been a year, while others feel like I did them yesterday. I am happy to live with no regrets, but do you ever want to just rewind to re-live some of those memories. The crazy nights where you just laughed for hours. The times where things could have been something else. It's kind of scary to imagine what this year holds in store for me. I'm living out my life's dream in less than a month, that may be a good kick start to the year. But I mean, what else will happen? Who's path will cross with mine? Who will I fall out of touch with? What are my goals for the next year? I think I have decided not to make a resolution, because I will inevitably bite my nails and fall for the wrong boy. So instead of being disappointed in myself when I look back on this next January, I will just hope for this. A year full of laughter. Of smiles. Of great friends and great memories. A year of growth and self pride. Of independance and exploartion. A year of love. For friends, my family, and anyone else who enters my life. Happy 2006 kids. Make it a good one. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| | Oh dear God... Laurel's gone, this semester really is ending. Today's goodbyes may very well kill me. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | NOT ready for this to be over. I feel like so much is so unsettled. I am SO excited for Turin, don't get me wrong. Like, VERY excited. But why do I have to miss half of all the memories at IC? I'm going to miss you kids. A lot. Laurel and Alyssa leave tomorrow!! :( Adam is already gone! :( I'm FREAKING OUT. NOT READY. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| First sentence (or, if it's a good one, the subject line) of the first entry of each month of the year
(aka, the year in review)
January
I cannot believe 2004 went so quickly, it was a simply amazing and wonderful year for me, one with so many exciting and special times.
February
LOL SILLIEST convo with Jessie and some parts were edited out because... yah! SOOO EXCITED to share IC with her this weekend!
March
My personal essay for academic writing, which I refered to a few times in here, is listed below... It's a very "Cats in the Craddle" like piece
April
Laurel said I should update, so taking a break from my J Research paper... here goes!
May
I am missing 2 different earings from 2 different pairs... if I slept in your bed this weekend can you look for them?
June
Getting discouraged... :( *sigh*
July
There is a certain something that brings a tear to the eye or a pull in the stomach when we see those rings, hear that anthem, or finally see that flame shining through our city streets. As spectators, aspiring youngsters with stars in our eyes, and even the greatest champions, it seems to tug at us all.
August
I had this really long update recapping my whole summer... but accidentally hit the rich text button and it all got erased... BOOO
September
Over the past week or so, I think it has really hit me that I'm not a little kid anymore.
October
Have you ever felt desire was just a friend?
November
Oh dear...
December
There is so much I should write and update about, and I promise I will do my best to document most of it
Haha, I feel like this is a pretty good documentation of my year. Going through some of those old entries DEF made me giggle, but also shake my head at the messes I got myself into. Sometimes I wonder who I am, really. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| There is so much I should write and update about, and I promise I will do my best to document most of it. But can we discuss it being December, please? I was listening to Green Day's "Wake me up when September ends" this morning, and DEFINETLY feel like it is still September. I was JUST listening to that song, considering using it in my aways and such, how are we 3 months later already? With only a little more than a week left to the semester, I have to confess I am not happy to see it all come to an end so soon, especially since I am not returning to it. I mean, don't get me wrong I am soooo excited about going abroad, clearly, but haven't even given it any serious thought lately. It's just that my focus is on what is here that I'm leaving behind... and I don't know that I'm ready to.
This semester FLEW in a ridiculous way. I feel like I grew a lot already this year, and saw a lot of changes from last year. Along with just being a little more mature and in control (for the most part), I did really manage all of my committments with minimal breakdowns (I am probably speaking too soon, this week is c.r.a.z.y).
Cutting this short... time for my last tour!! | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Kate: we have such good stories - i just think they'd be a lot funnier if they happened to other people instead of to us!
Thank God I have Kate to laugh/cry over our ridiculous lives together... I have NO idea what I'll do next semester when she's gone. We spent at least an hour just giggling, cringing, revealing the maddess of our lives... and I love it. This weekend was funnnn... lol I have NO idea so if you are going to ask, just know that you're going to get eighty-two question marks.
I cannot believe there are only 3 weekends left to this semester, honestly WHERE is the year going?? What am I going to do with the girls gone again? With half of T-10 out of the country? With myself at the Olympics? I just cannot believe how near the end we are getting.. 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, then 2 weeks of classes and a week of finals... seriously SO out of control. For better or worse... this semester is coming to a close. BUT, before it does I have to survive this history class... ahhhh! Back to research | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| So Laurel and I are taking the same classes this semster. Or, close enough. She was talking about her World Prehistory assignment today and how she was going to do it on the Aztec, and I was like... HMM! Take a look at this HUUUUGE pile of books over here, they are all about the Aztec for my dumb latin america class. A few hours later, Laurel-Lee has a fabulous paper going. If only my paper was going as well... or... going at all. ;) Anyway, I thought it was really funny and am quite amuzed. My World Civ class and her prehistory overlapped during midterms too. Silly Ithaca.
Yes... this was a me giving up for the night and being bored entry... be happy Lyssa! ;) | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| So yesterday I had a real social life and realized I miss that. Haha. I mean a real, giggling cause we're goofy, carrying on real converstaions, remembering what happens social life that didn't take place in the middle of the night. Dinner with Cody and then shopping with Kate was just fun... cute... easy. And I need to do that more--get out and see my friends. I feel so isolated in our Garden sometimes, and I know I should make more of an effort often, but things are just so crazy its difficult. I am already cursing myself for not doing work last night, this week looks pretty ugly, but... I think I needed to get stuck in a stairway with a huge TV and Kate and just stand there laughing till I cried. I honestly hadn't smiled like that in a long time. So, moral of the story, I need to make time to get out and be happy. Coffee date with Matt, random visit to Lucien... I am doing it and making my life worthwhile. As much as I can focus on work and feel like I have a purpose and things are ok, they are really not always and I am better off dealing with them or making memories than just pretending they don't exist.
OH! Also... while in Walmart shopping for TVs I saw this commercial/promo thing for Torino... I think my jaw actually hit the floor.. it was the first time I saw Olympic footage and felt that Olympic spirit since I applied for the internship... and it was a realy exciting feeling. I cannot believe that will be my reality... it still just is words to me. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| | The Dell guy took my poor computer apart into 38475402307273075034901 pieces. I was scared that he was going to forget how to put it together again. Thankfully he remembered, after handing me a screwdriver and telling me to get at it, of course. My 'puter is working wonderfully once again and I love her and hope she never ever gets sick like she was. I know Laurel-Lee hates Dell... but I must admit I am a fan right now. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
