I had a realization the other day that really freaked me out and is kinda starting to worry me. I'm a junior in college. That's it. It just hit me all of a sudden when I was walking on campus. I'm over half-way finished with college, crazy! I'm not exactly sure when I'll be graduating, but I'm guessing May '07...I should probably look into that. I don't wanna grow up yet; I'm not ready for that. I think about how I'll be out in the "real world" within the next couple of years, but then I say to myself, "Hey, you're still only 19. You're still young," and after I ponder that for a minute I calm back down. But still it's a crazy thought and I don't like to think about it.
My laptop is f'ed up again. Silly piece of shit. It frustrates me. So I'm gonna get off of Jason's and go to bed.

My mommy thinks I'm a celebrity
I can't seem to keep this thing updated. I could say that it's because I've been busy with school work, but, honestly, I haven't been. Instead, every day I've been busy looking for places to sleep on campus, and I've found a few good places, too. Every night I think about how much work I need to do and that's about it. I just think about what I need to do, but don't actually do it. I'm not really sure what I'm doing with my time every night; I guess just sitting around watching TV and hanging out with the roomies. I should really get down to business sometime soon. Maybe I'll work on that tonight, maybe. School is kicking my ass right now. I think it's safe to say I'm failing my classes, but you can't really judge this early in the game. I haven't had any tests or big projects really, just small quizzes. Got my poli sci quiz back today, and I thought I did decent on it for not doing any of the readings, but apparently I was wrong. I also picked up some of my broadcast quizzes. Opened the first one, 10. Sweet! Opened the second and third one, 2 and 4. Ouch. Eh, you win some you lose some.
I've talked it over with Laura and I actually realized it myself, but I've drifted away from my typical blog entries. My blogs have been too thought out and prepared lately, so I'm going to try to revert back to my old school ways of blogging- complete randomness. So stay tuned for more of that.
Do you ever get the feeling that all black people know each other? All the time when I'm walking around campus (especially in Brady) black people always acknowledge each other in some way (say hey, shake hands, hug, ect.). Half the time I don't think they really know the other person, but they are just acknowledging that the other person is the same color as they are. It's like they think they're some kind of poorly treated minority and they all gotta "stick together." Does anyone know what I'm trying to say? I swear I'm not rascist.
Oh man, Katie, Maggie, and I got to tour the new Busch Stadium because Katie's dad is a foreman with a construction group there. It was amazing! We got to go in the Cards shower and locker rooms, and just about everywhere else in the stadium. I can't even tell you how awesome it was. We also got a brick that they didn't use from the new stadium. The next day a group of us Cards fans from MU went to the game. It was probably my last game at Busch, so sad. And we lost, too, even worse.
Oh! I'm on the Mizzou website now. Check me out here. Now here's the story behind that...
Last year I had some connections through ResLife because I worked the desk. ResLife was working on a new website for admissions and they needed to take pics of some student rooms, and Katie and I let our Hall Coordinator know that if they needed to they could use our room and she knew that it was usually pretty clean. So one day I was working the desk and Beth (the HC) asked me if they could use my room and of course I said yes, so I cleaned the room and everything then waited for them to come. The guy walks in and hands me a consent form and a sheet with some questions on it. Pretty standard I thought. Then, he's like "Alright, why don't we have you sit at your desk and put your hand up like this." I was like, okay... They ended up taking seriously at least 75 pictures of me sitting like that at my desk. After that they were done and left. I was so confused. I had been under the impression that they were gonna take pics of our room because it was so cute. But no, they took pictures of me. So of course I wasn't prepared at all-hair not done, barely any make-up on, ect. Then I found out the website was up so I went and checked it out. They had to of picked the worst pic of them all! I have the weirdest look and smile on my face. I wish I could have picked the one they used, but oh well. I'm famous now :P Angelique is on there, too, if anyone is interested.
There's your Dur fix for today.

Why is Dori a Journalism student?
Well, honestly, I've been wondering the same thing lately. I don't like to write. I don't like to interview people or just walk up to them to talk. I'm afraid to talk in front of people, let alone a camera. I absolutely hate coming up with story ideas. And I hate reading the newspaper and following the news (I wouldn't mind watching the news if I did it because I wanted to, not because I had to memorize everything that is going on with all these strangely named people in obscure countries). So all signs point to majoring in math or something science. Blah. The thing that sucks about going to the best journalism school in the country is that they want us to be well-rounded in all things journalistic. This means that I must go through the reporter aspect of the major before I can get to what I really wanna do. And what exactly do I really wanna do? I have a few ideas. My ultimate dream job would be operating a camera for the St. Louis Cardinals. Ahhhhh, what an amazing job that would be. Other than that I kinda wanna be a producer for a news station. But I really wanna work with the camera in any aspect. I really like editing video to the story (preferrably not written by me). Or I wanna work in the control room where all the TVs and control and sound boards are. Basically, anything NOT in front of the camera. So there you have it. The reason why I am a Journalism student at Mizzou. I might have to read this a few times this semester to remind myself why the hell I'm putting myself through all the hard work.
