Top Two Tuesday/Tequila Tuesday

Today's Top 2 Tuesday: Things you can't live without

1. The most obvious, my phone.

The iPhone is my life. My e-mail comes straight to my phone and the mail application is constantly going off. Whether it's from the list-serve for KOMU or for MUTV weekly meetings, I always have some kind of mail. I can access my bank account, facebook, twitter, and ABC news. I have a morning routine that consists of e-mail, ABC,  and twitter/facebook. I'm always connected. 

2. My ring. 

This ring from James Avery is very dear to me. I bought it almost two years ago when my grandfather became ill and soon after passed away. Even if I don't wear other jewelry every day, I always have my ring on. 

The title of this blog also has Tequila Tuesday in it too. No, I don't drink a lot of tequila on Tuesday. It's when I have my "coverage", or what used to be coverage, dinner each week. When I first started at my job in the coverage department, the girls got together to eat dinner each week. Now it has dwindled down but it's still fun. This semester, we've been on a Tequila's fix. Tequila's is a mexican restaurant that has cheap, but decently good mexican food. Since I am half Mexican, it's hard for me to call it mexican food, but it's pretty hard to mess up nachos. We've gotten into the habit of going there every Tuesday so now I crave the nachos all day. Even when we try to pick somewhere else, we always end up with Tequila's. :) It gives me something to look forward to after my long days on Tuesdays. (I go from 8:00 AM to 3:20 PM and today I'm working to make up hours for leaving early on Friday for Spring Break).

Until tomorrow for Wishful Wednesday!

Musical Monday

I know technically, it isn't Monday anymore, but I was working on my other posts for my other blog for a class. Those blogs take a lot more time to create than these and my roommate (to your left. Isn't she pretty?) happened to be home making me get more distracted.

Anyways, here are the lyrics for today:

Hi ho!
Hi ho!
Hi ho! Hi ho! Hi ho!

Hi ho, Hi ho
It's home from work we go
(whistles)
Hi ho, Hi ho, Hi ho

Hi ho, Hi ho
It's home from work we go
(whistles)
Hi ho, Hi ho
(more whistles)

As silly as it seems, I couldn't help but sing this all day today. I feel like all I do is go to work and go to school. I go to work and I go to school. I go to work and I go to school. Over and over and over. I love my job and most of my classes so I'm not complaining, but I'm ready for the day when I only have to go to work and not go to school on top of it.

This is a boring post, but it's late/early and I have an early class tomorrow. Here's hoping I remember to make coffee tomorrow morning. 

Unconscious Mutterings

Since the Mizzou game is over and we sadly lost to West Virginia, I figured I'd post for Sunday before I get into my "study mode". The point of unconscious mutterings is to type the first word that comes to mind for the following words:

1. Burrito: Mexican
2. Spike: Dog
3. Tougher: Gym
4. Mock: Mean
5. Slurp: Slurpee at 7Eleven
6. Knock: Door
7. Conference: Sports
8. Madness: Crazy
9. Minds: Great minds think alike
10. Connection: Internet

Now I'm off to study Philip II. When am I ever going to need to know about this? Never. Never ever. Oh the joys of college.

Weekly Agenda

I'm not planning a wedding. I'm not remodeling a house. I don't have kids. I'm a typical, although rather boring, college student who is having her entire life consumed by school. I've been trying to think of something to blog about for the past few days and decided to try "memes" to get me to blog every day! Here's my schedule:

*Note: Some of these are created from inspirations on other blogs but I've personalized them. Others come directly from the websites.

Sunday: Unconscious Mutterings. It'll be a good way for me to get back into "thinking" for the school week ahead!

Monday: Musical Monday. I love music and lyrics so I'll be posting my favorite portion of a song on Monday's and ramble about why I love that part.

Tuesday: Top 2 Tuesday. Undomestic Momma gives her followers a prompt and participants choose their top two things in that category to blog about.

Wednesday: Wishful Wednesday. I have had a lot of different goals and wishes in life and I plan to share all past, present, and future goals (one at a time) to help personalize myself and my blog.

Thursday: Thankful Thursday. There is at least one thing every week that I should be thankful for and to help keep a positive perspective on life, even during stressful periods of time, I am going to blog about something I'm thankful for every week.

Friday: Five Question Friday. Five Crooked Halos gives her followers 5 questions to answer every Friday.

Saturday: Scrapbook Saturday. I have used Picnik to make pictures more artistic/scrapbook-y. I will share one that I have done every week, or if I get creative enough/have enough time, I may do a new one.




Because the Mizzou vs. West Virginia game is on, I'll have to post my Sunday post later. It's time to show some school spirit! MIZ-ZOU!

Refreshed

As I post almost every week in my wordpress blog for my classes, I always feel the urge to blog about "non-professional" things that happen in my daily life. Thus, I decided to take this blog back up and make it my personal one where I can share pictures and update it based on non-journalistic things.

To catch up, I've been cleared to start working at the station for reporting and also anchoring morning headlines during breaks from network morning shows. I'm pretty excited! I got a lot of positive feedback from my professor while "practicing" for the anchoring stuff. And the professor doesn't usually make positive comments.

That's my teacher.

He's quite intimidating but the class is starting to see the "softer" side of him and when we had anchoring practice, I realized I am never going to have a teacher that cares that much about how well I do. 

I made my schedule for the first semester of my senior year of college. Talk about scary! I have an amazing schedule next semester and while I applied for an internship for the summer, I decided to stay in Columbia and take the next broadcast class. This will allow more time for me to hone in on my producing skills. 

This past weekend I decided to try something new and went home with a friend, Lynsie. She lives in the country. When I say country, I mean she just bought a house and 28 acres and she has a barn. (I had never seen cows up close before!) It was a blast. I experienced so many new things like shooting a gun, riding and driving a front loader, and eating homemade ice cream! Her family was so sweet. I hope to go back this summer and help with the painting of Lynsie's new house with her family and fiancé Chris (and they are too cute together!). They also had this cute little puppy named Dozer who was so precious. He was like a little baby. But he'll be all grown up next time I see him. 

Here are some pictures of the trip:

   

Other than that, my life is pretty uneventful right now. I'm getting anxious for Spring Break. I'm headed back to Texas with my roommate Katy to spend a week relaxing and shopping. I'm getting excited for time in warm weather. This cold weather has been around for far too long.

Until next time!
