Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm back again! Though it's been a while like last time! I'm sitting in the Mass Media Arts & Journalism office right now right before break. Things haven't slowed down a bit and I can't believe Thanksgiving is just days away!
I've been working since 2:00 and it's been quiet here. Although, that is good because I was able to work on a big paper that is going to be due after break. I got a good amount done in the quietness of Becker Hall! And now I thought that I'd blog since I have some time before I'm done for the day.. actually until after break!
Everything has been going really well for me still. I was selected as one of many students at WCUB-TV to be an honorary inductee into Clarion's chapter of the Society for Collegiate Journalists (SCJ)!! I was very excited and honored to be one of the students picked for this exciting society! A few young ladies started the Chapter up recently, and now I am a member. I'm very excited to be in such a prestigious club, for a lifetime!! We had an induction dinner at the Captain Loomis Inn last Thursday, in which we had a great dinner. Dr. Hilton (the MMAJ Chair and SCJ advisor) spoke before we ate and told us a little bit about the club, and how proud of the students she is. That really made me feel even more motivated and proud to be doing what I'm doing and being so dedicated because it's what I love. How can anyone not do something they love?
So that was my excitement last week, in addition to anchoring of course. That went really well Thursday night, too. Sara, my co-anchor, and I felt that we did a really good job anchoring and were very pleased! Another great night to add to our resume tapes!
We didn't have any shows or events this week for the TV station because we're only here until today. It was nice to have a break, but it'll be good to get started up again. I'm working for 15 more minutes, then it's back to my apartment to pack things up and wait for my Dad to come get me! I'm very excited to go home and see everyone for the Holiday! I was just home over the weekend for my parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary party and it was great to see all my family! My Aunt, Uncle and 3 cousins came in from Florida and they are staying with us! It's so much fun already and I can't wait to see the rest of my family on Thursday. Great (HOMEMADE!) food, (and plenty go around) with all my family around celebrating Thanksgiving is so great to me! I can't wait! While I love the turkey and gravy and stuffing... my favorite food is my Mom's homemade mashed potatoes! My Grandpa's are amazing, too! I can't wait for those!
Well, now that I've made you hungry and anticipating Thanksgiving even more than you were, I'm going to get ready to close up the office and be on my way home for break! Have a GREAT Thanksgiving everyone! I'm giving you all an assignment for the break: Tell someone you love what you're grateful for and never take anything for granted! Until next time.. eat until you can't move anymore! :) I know I plan to!
