Yeah so I am very stressed but I just need to organize my thoughts and I think this is a good way to do so...
So I was in my Social Psychology class today and she was using an example toward something and it was something like..What is more important,your major or what you are doing this weekend?...Of course this had to come across because 3 hours before this I found out might not graduate ontime due to the fact of requirements for my major. So this brought forth my attention and my stress level. But I really needed to get my self together. So here is the problem....
I have to take this test the JQE in order to get into the Journalism School...whoah ok wait...so as most of you know...I want to major in Television and Film but they don't offer that major here at WVU...so I am look toward Broadcast News (news reporting,writing,research, but with TV aspect)...its the closest thing to it but not really what I want to do. Anyways...I want to go to Graduate school for TV/Film (hopefuly somewhere in California) so I can learn about what I want to do....So back to the JQE...i need to take that to get into the school of journalism....Also, I need it to take this class JRL 215...and once I take JRL 215, I can then take classes for my major. OK well the problem is...JQE is not offered again until Jan. 2007...which means I cannot take JRL 215 until either Summer '07 or Fall '07...if I take it summer '07...its gonna suck but I'll be on track. If I take it in Fall...I'll be a semester behind because then I cannot take classes for my major until Spring '08...that is not good! So I have options...
I can take JRL 215 in the summer
I can take JRL 215 in the fall (and not graduate ontime)
I can change my major entirely
I can transfer ( I really do not want to)
Also...I do not know if I have to major in the same thing I want to go to graduate school for. Like if I major in journalism or like communications or psychology...can I go to graduate school for TV/Film?? If the answer is no...which I do not think it is...but if it is...I might have to consider transferring.
If I can take any major and still go to graduate school...I would have to think if I want to take Summer classes...or just change my major all together.
Yeah..so this is my stressful and shitty situation...I hope you enjoy my confusion lol
Any advice...leave a comment
I'm gonna go hopefully finsh watching Lost Season 2 before I go to sleep.
The Weekend Starts Tomorrow at 11:20am...finally

Make me so perfect in your eyes...

Yeah so it has been awhile since I last updated...
I am actually home right now...I came home for the jewish holiday..I am going back to school tomorrow. So anyways lately the topic of conversation has been going abroad...
So I have always wanted to go to Austrailia (i can never spell it right lol)...And I went to the Study Abroad Fair last week and I am starting to look into it. I am just overwelmed because I have so much to think about. If I do go abroad it is going to mess up with classes for my major and I might not be able to graduate on time. So I was thinking maybe I could take some classes at WVU over one summer or something but I don't know?!?...then the other issue is...MY MAJOR...
So My Major right now is well..Pre-Journalism...I need to take this test called the JQE to get in so I could start taking classes for my concentration which is Broadcast News...and maybe minor in advertising. OK well the issue is this is not my passion and this is not exactly what I want to do with my life. Well they do say majority of what people major in is not what they end up doing. Well this is because they don't know what they want to do....I know exactly what I want to do. I want to work in Television or Film or Both...I want to Direct or Edit or Write Scripts etc... I want make a movie, a TV show or something in that sense. In Broadcast News...you do learn how to make a news show but its all about making news reports and researching and writing the stories and stuff...that really doesnt "get me going" if you know what I mean...I really am turned off by that...its just not what I want to do. The problem is WVU does not have Film or TV as a major and the closest thing is Broadcast News. So I always said I would just go to Graduate School for Film/TV...and I have always wanted to go to UCLA for it and I looked at the program and they only accept 10-15 people a year into the program. It was like my dream flushed down the drain. It just seriously is unbelievable. Thats really tough. I really do not want to transfer schools because I love it at WVU and I am afraid to transfer. I had this problem last year and its still bugging me. And I am getting closer and closer to being accepted in the school of journalism...so I need to make sure this is what I want to do. So...I think I am going to talk to my advisor and see what I can do...maybe I could start up this major who knows??...but broadcast news is very close to it....I don't know?? Well on another note...
Thinking of living situation for next year...I really love living downtown but I do love the district a lot. The District is like a resort lol...It has an outdoor pool/hot tub, gym,cafe, free tanning, basketball court, volleyball court, mile long walking trail, each room has there own bathroom etc.. its just very nice and EVERYTHING is included. The only problem is...its not on campus. I love living downtown because I am walking distance to the bars and classes. If I lived at the district you either have to take your car to class or they do have a shuttle that takes you to the PRT (monarail thing) and that takes you downtown. And then at night for the bars there is a shuttle that takes you to and from until 2am. I mean it is not that bad and the district is very nice and peaceful...I really like it. I am still thinking about that.
Also, I have no idea what I am doing this summer but I really want to see if I can get an internship in L.A. I talked to my mom about it and shes going to def. talk to my cousion who is out there and knows a lot of people. I would seriously freak out if I am able to get one and be out there. Omg...it would be amazing haha. I am so fascinated by california and I have never been there lol. We will have to see...
And lastly...I need to seriously do better in school. I feel like I am doing better but my grades don't prove that. Something is off and I need to get my act together. I really want to do well. I really enjoyed the feeling when I stepped up and actually felt accomplished. I know I can do it. I had mono and had to come back to school and make up so much...I know its in me...I just need to actually motivate myself to do better. I know I can and I wanted to type this out so everytime I look at this it hopefully gets me back into mode. I need this.
Well...I am off to bed...back to morgantown 2mro night...

I can conquer anything...
its 2:00 in the morning and i have thought about a lot...
as the crazy town of morgantown fills my ears with drunk people screaming in the street for the past hour and a half...i leave you with this
As much as your mind may tell you to do something else...you can't control how you feel...

bittersweet
How can everything seem so great one day then you lose it all the next...
I had something great but I lost it, I had a best friend but we grew apart,The one person I could trust the most...i lost their trust and now I feel like I can't trust anyone, I thought I got along with some people but we started to fight...now things are just fake between us, I knew what I wanted in life but now I don't even know anymore, One of my best friends had to go home...I really wish they were here, I believe a lot of what people say...but now I think everyone lies to me, Some days I wish I was home...but i feel like I'll be lost forever if I do, Some days I feel like I need to get away...go to a beach or take a walk...but the closest beach is 5 hours away and I don't feel safe taking a walk at night here, I really wish people could change...even though they say they have changed...they haven't, I think I need to find more friends, I feel lonely now because every friend I make is either lying to me,goes home, is fake or an asshole. My life here is bittersweet...and the reason its so bittersweet is because im the sweet part and everyone thats here (except for elissa) is so bitter.
The only friends I have right now are my friends from home...I miss you guys so much.
I want to take a walk to the end of the boardwalk...

"I don't even know what my soul looks like,but I know that music helps me find it." -ronnie day
"I don't even know what my soul looks like,
but I know that music helps me find it." -ronnie day
I live my life by song lyrics that explain exactly what i'm going through...
Do You Remember Time After Time What Hurts the Most When It All Falls Apart? And She Said..Everything Is Alright Here (In Your Arms)Hanging By A Moment. Because Of You,I Melt Everytime We Touch.
I Just Can't Live A Lie...If You Were Mine.
Someone Better Open The Door.. So Long As Lovers Go.
These Days The Fight Always Collide(s) Back To The Middle.
Now It's Done Over My Head...Over Thinking...Out Of My Mind...Words I Can't Say But Its Better If We Do...Everything Else. All Or Nothing,All At Once,All My Life...All in All...All The Memories..(just)Say The Word--Talk To Me--Call On Me.
What I've Been Looking For...A...Dirty Little Secret...Yeah
...Wow I Can Get Sexual Too.
Haha...ok if you didn't catch on thats all names of songs...i tried to make a cool thing out of it...nothing too great but i tried and its getting late lol...thought I could be a little creative..oh well lol
Anyways...
Music does help you find yourself...and I strongly believe that. I really don't know who I would be right now if it wasn't for music and the messages it brings forth to us. It either puts us into a sense of reality or puts thoughts in our mind that makes us think about the future or the past or brings out our imagination. It truly becomes apart of you and your life. It seriously is amazing. I love it.
As time moves on we all start to wonder about where we think we will end up in life, who we will end up with, how we will get there, how long it will take and what it will be like. As my eyes start to get heavy and I feel very sleepy..I want to end this blog with a a few words of my own...
We all make mistakes, we all need to make mistakes inorder to learn from them...sometimes we do things that aren't right and sometimes we need to do something out of the ordinary to make sense of it all. To test yourself and others around you. Sometimes we need to understand who we are and make sure we know what we are doing is right...and the only way to make sure it is right...is to do something wrong. Just like we can't feel happiness if we havent experienced pain...so we need to do something wrong to know that something is right. It may seem a little out of the ordinary to make something wrong inorder to make it right but...it makes sense to me. I really don't want to be the one who makes wrong decisions and I don't want to be the one to hurt anyone in the process of me trying to figure out whats right and wrong but maybe these mistakes I make will help you with your own. I don't know I guess I am just trying to live my life as best as I can while trying to search for something in the whole process...and when I find it...I'll let you know but for now...I'm just living life...and I'm sorry if my stupidity causes you any pain or any confusion...I don't want to be an asshole..I don't have any intentions to be mean...just my learning process may cause me to experience these mistakes and learn from them. Its hard when you think your mature about a lot of things when the littlest thing your so stupid about...I'm trying to realize whats right and wrong...and I'm starting to realize what I should be doing....
and thats just taking it day by day.
Its 2am...time for bed
