What am I going to do?
I just received a letter about my financial aid. It says I am no longer eligible for aid because I have over 90 units, but doesn’t specify if they are taking away this semester’s aid that I was told I was going to get or if I just can’t get any more later. It says it’s on a TERMINATIONS status, so I think it means they’ve taken it away. I won’t be able to go to...

I have been incredibly lazy this school break. I meant to do all kinds of writing and failed miserably, only getting some stuff done the past couple days. I did lots of crochet, though. And emptied out my storage unit—so much junk. I went through it as I brought it home, but I need to get rid of more than I did. Plus it turns out I overpaid a bunch because they told me they were raising the...
So I discovered the means to be instantly reblogged. Post kitty pictures, lol.

Here's a silly idea...

Maybe instead of using FUD to terrify Tumblr users into uninstalling Missing E, Tumblr could use that time and energy to give Tumblr users the functionality they installed Missing E to get in the first place.
So tired of that form popping up on my screen EVERYDAY. I mean really, how many times is it necessary for me to say I’m not uninstalling. Annoying me is not the best...

Hey Tumblr
Yes, I use Missing E. Yes, I intend to keep using it. Please stop interrupting my Tumblr experience multiple times a day to clarify that. So far, the only problem I have had since using Missing E, is your interruptions.
Thank You,
Mindy

Double Bergamot Earl Grey black tea is the best. So glad I stopped by the tea section last night.

Okay, all signed up for next semester classes. I had thought they would consist entirely of mass comm classes, but realized one class is an advanced I will be taking the prereq for, and another that I don’t want to take I may not have to because I took a different class a few years ago. Anyways, that all means that I am taking three mass classes, another drawing class and beginning guitar.

Finally, my media writing class has moved onto scripts. Our first script is for a radio show, two pages including a commercial break. I’ve been developing a podcast idea, and I think I shall use that show for the assignment. I am very excited.
Also I am nervous. For my studio video class I have to create, write and direct an 8 minute show. I already know what I want to do, its the directing...

Oh My Goshgollygeewhillikers. I have seven blogs now. SEVEN! Two are private, but one of those will go public soon. It’s going to be an extension of the blog I have through my school’s online paper. I call it The Writer’s Room and my focus is writing and what I have learned about the business of writing, oftentimes as I learn it. I haven’t decided if I should make it public...

My Media Writing teacher is making us read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I just failed the test for chapters 3 and 4 because I could not remember ANY part of what I had read. The book is awful. It is the drug fueled “adventures” of two morons. Not something I would ever read if I was not being forced to. The entire time I read it all I can think “really?” and “why...

Jeremy: What advice would you give to people who want to create their own web series?
Cheeks: Find a story that needs to be told and give that to people in a way that speaks to them. Care about your audience. You’re not doing this for you. A lot of artists think storytelling is about what they want to say, and to an extent, it is about personal expression. More importantly though, are the...

quilles replied to your post: Goddess, I was a first class bitch in class today….
Do you think if you spoke to your instructor privately they would make an exception? Self consciousness seems a valid reason.
Actually, I did talk to my instructor today (I have two classes with him) and he doesn’t like how the same people are used as talent over and over. Part of the problem is there...

Goddess, I was a first class bitch in class today. Hormones are a mess, so I’m angry and depressed at the same time. I feel like a freakin’ blimp. And then I go to Studio Video class and yet again, instead of learning how to work equipment, someone wants me to be talent in their skit. I hate what I look like. I hate it more when my size is forever immortalized in pictures or video....

<3 Do you think it would help if you told her how you’re feeling? Or would that just make it worse
Unfortunately our trying to talk to each other at all always devolves into fights. We’ve never had a great relationship but since my mom died things have simply gotten worse. I used to say that...
I don’t feel like I can go home. I don’t feel at all welcome. I thought when our roommate moved in my sister would make an effort to be nicer. Instead she is nice to our roommate and even worse to me, but only when the roommate is not in the room. I am apparently not allowed to be happy or excited about anything in my life.
I go back to college and she tells me I am wasting my time,...
