Before we know it, we'll be on Thanksgiving break.. and eventually Christmas break. Yikes! Time really does fly! It is gorgeous outside today. Sunny, not very cold, and it smells like autumn. I love this time of year.
Since my class was cancelled that I should be in right now (feel better, Dr. Marshall) I decided to catch you all up on what I've been doing since I last wrote.
Things haven't really slowed down, but I didn't think they would! Classes are going well, and the station is going pretty good too. Just last week, I was moved to anchoring on Thursday nights at 7. They wanted to pair anchors together who worked well. And since we're both seniors, we need to get the flawless (or close to) newscasts for our resume tapes. It's so much fun, I love it already. It's so different from Fridays to Thursdays. Fridays were always so scarce tech crew wise, and it was always really quiet in the building. Thursdays are much better, but I will miss my Friday crew bunches! Last Thursday went really well. My co-anchor, Sara and I work pink because it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and that day you were supposed to show your support by wearing pink. The newscast went really well, too so I was happy. I can't wait to do it again! Be sure to watch us every Thursday at 7!
And this Friday marks the third week of scuba diving classes held here at Clarion University. On the third class, the instructor said she would let me come in and do a package on it, and actually learn to scuba dive! I'm very excited, and really hope that I get to do it this Friday. I have always wanted to learn how, and doing a package on it will be fun!! I'm hoping that she'll call me & I'll be able to go in. I'll let you all know what happens, don't worry!
I hope that everyone has a very Happy Halloween! I can't believe it's that time of year already! Maybe my roommates and I will get little trick-or-treaters at our house! We sure have plenty of Halloween candy to hand out. And that would keep us from eating it all!
Unfortunately I gotta run. I have something things to do before I have class again at 1... maybe that will be cancelled too! (I can dream!)
Everyone have a safe and Happy Halloween!! Until next time...

Work, Food and Fun!
Boy it's been too long since I last wrote! Whoever insists your senior year is easy obviously doesn't know the life I lead!
Pretty much the only exciting (or stressful) event of my week was scheduling for my classes. I always get really nervous and hope I get everything I need to graduate. Don't ask me why I always do that! I'm so happy it's Friday! This week has flown by, unlike the previous ones for me. I'm really looking forward to the weekend. I don't really have any plans, yet, but of course homework! Last weekend my parents surprised me and came up to visit on Sunday. It was great to see them and catch up. We went out to eat at Bob's Subs (yum!) and stayed there for a while talking.
I am working right now in the Mass Media Arts and Journalism office, and it's a pretty slow day. Since I work until 3:30, I get to experience Becker Hall quiet, with nothing but WCUC (the campus radio station) playing. Students and a lot of the faculty are headed out to start their weekends.
A good end to the day will be when I anchor the news at 7. By Fridays, I'm just itching to do it. It always seems so long each week before I finally get to sit behind the desk. And there will be lots to report with the ongoing MRSA case here and in other schools as well.
Speaking of lots going on, Clarion's campus sure has a lot of construction! The leaves aren't the only things changing around here. The new Science & Technology center that is being built is coming along. Everyday I pass by, there is something new and more structure up. Too bad I probably won't get to see it finished. BUT, something I will get to see done before I graduate is Applebee's!!! I haven't met any other student that isn't jumping with excitement at the new addition by Wal-Mart! It's definitely a great place to eat and I'm excited when it opens early next month. Another recommendation is Hamburger Bills. It's by Sheetz and it's a great atmosphere with yummy food! Definitely another great addition to the Clarion Community!
Well, I must get going for now. I have to run some errands around campus before I'm done with work. Take care, and thanks for coming back to read my blog. I promise I'll write more often!! Happy Friday!!

Happy A.L.F!
Boy things haven't slowed down a bit for me since I last wrote! Which is why I haven't posted in a while. It's been great though, and this is the best week ever! It's the annual Autumn Leaf Festival, and I love every minute of it! My roommates and I went into town yesterday to get some yummy food you can't get but twice a year (at Spring Fling too!) After we walked around aimlessly, trying to decide what to get, we loaded up on a bucket of fries, lemonade, sandwiches, and I got a garlic pasta bread bowl: My favorite food to eat there. And next time I go: a poor man's caramel apple. I highly recommend all the food, but those are my favorite. The Quaker Steak and Lube wings are wonderful as well!
So that was my first ALF experience so far (this year), and it was great. I'm very excited for Saturday because I was asked to commentate the parade for our television station! It's tradition I guess you could say, that seniors get asked to do things like that first for the parade, then it trickles down to juniors and so on. I'm so excited! It'll be an early morning, but a fun day. And the weather is supposed to be great!
Tonight I get to go cover the kiddie parade at 5:30 for the news! I love kids, and I think it'll be such a fun story to do. Hopefully I can get some cute kids to interview.
Now I must tell this story that I remembered. Last Friday, as I was done with the news, I had to go to the Tippin Pool to film scuba diving classes for a package this week. The class started at 6, but since I anchored, I couldn't make it until 7:30. So Megan and I walk into the pool area, and the only people present were the instructors. And they're putting all their gear away. So we started talking to the instructor and she informs us there were only 2 people, so the class was cut shorter than planned. And after telling her how I have always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, and was bummed I missed this story, she tells me to come back in 3 weeks. She has an underwater camera and everything for me to use, so she's letting me get into the pool and learn to scuba dive! I am so excited! That is one of the fun things on my life's 'to-do' list that I want to complete. Who knew that would happen! I'm sure I'll write about it and how much fun I had. Even for a college TV station, you never know what kind of 'perks' you could get.
Until next time, if you haven't already, get out and enjoy ALF! There is so much to see and do, and lots of food to keep you going! It's definitely one of the great things in Clarion. Have a great day everyone and be sure to keep reading my blog! :)
