“ ... proud though I may be of my profession, it never occurred to me that it was meant to be a working majority, ... That more than half of young men in TV would want to cover sports has the same ring to it as if we learned more than half the males in medical school wanted to concentrate on cosmetic surgery.” -Frank Deford

Running out of gas already

Every time Friday arrives, the happier that I get. Even though I only have one class in the evening on Mondays and no classes on Wednesdays, I am still busy. I always have errands to do and work to be done. The bad thing is I haven't had a chance to search for jobs yet. Tuesdays and Thursdays are absolute killers and having a cold during those days made the days feel even longer. Either way, I am just toughing it out and still rolling along.
I do like being busy. It just makes the weekends more fun. During the weekdays, I feel like I have been seeing my friends less. I do love my classes equally. They are all so interesting and I don't consider it a chore to go to class and then do homework. I am also trying to write more stories for the school newspaper "The New Hampshire." It's good practice and I am going to need it if I am going to be the successful journalist I want to be.
Speaking of a news worthy topic, the UNH Student Senate is passing a resolution to recommends Smith Hall to be converted into an admissions building. "Whereas, the University has no additional resources to build a new building or renovate another and whereas, be it resolved by the Student Senate of the University of New Hampshire to recommend that Smith Hall be converted into the admissions and student services building." I am starting to realize what the "real world" is like. The boss has an idea, it eventually screws everyone over and there is nothing you can do about it. No one has a say, no one knows where they stand. If someone says something, that person gets canned. Gee, I'm looking forward to graduating, not.
The residents in Smith Hall are blind-sided once again. In December to last week, the Student Senate fought hard with Smith Hall to have the university administration to rescind their decision. Even though it didn't make a difference, the fact that the Student Senate to all of the sudden to change their minds and go along with it is spitting in our faces. We had a secret meeting with the Student Body president and vice-president in Smith Hall and discussed for over 90 minutes and we did not get anywhere. I expected them to say something about how converting Smith Hall into an admissions building is a good idea, that it is needed and it is good for the students. The Smith Hall Sen. Michael Sanchez, is devising a plan to impeach both the Student Body president and vice-president. The senate meeting about the resolution is on Sunday. It is planned to be a dogfight and I am looking forward to see it. Just when all of the residents at Smith Hall were finally starting to feel at peace about getting closed down, people at UNH put salt in our wounds again.
This is also a big weekend for sports fans because the start of the Winter Olympics and the NBA All-Star game weekend. We will see the best athletes of the world perform in the Olympics at Vancouver, Canada and the best players in the NBA make some crazy moves and awesome shots in Dallas, Texas. I may not be around to see all the coverage, but I will see as much as I can.
Each day I am at UNH, the happier that I am but yet sad at the same time. I really enjoy having a single because I don't feel like I am invading anyone's space and I have host my friends whenever I want. Speaking of friends, some of my friends from Massachusetts are coming up to visit me tomorrow. I am looking forward to it because I haven't seen them in a while and I want to show them around the school I am proud to be attending to. I do have a lot of homework to do, but I can hold it off for a little while to see my friends and have some fun.
