This week has been a living hell, which is obviously why there hasn’t been many updates. I’ve rarely been online and when I am, I’m checking news and replying to e-mails.

So the move? Well we have everything moved and basically set up in the Student Life office. The phone in the lobby where I work and the internet isn’t working yet, but it should by the middle of next week. It’s nice. We have a big kitchen and a place to eat and it’s nice.

The newspaper, however, is a different story.

Our space was dropped by 25% of what we originally had. We had three offices - newsroom, advertising, and business. Now we simply have newsroom and business office. The room that originally was going to be the business office was basically chopped in half for a janitorial office. The office was too small to use as an office, which means Sarah, our advertising girl, will have to be in our newsroom with her advertising reps.

That makes things very crowded, which is the only part I don’t like. I don’t mind sharing the space with Sarah because she’s awesome, but it’s just the less space part.

Other than that, I’ve had class which *yawns*. That’s all I have to say about it. My first exam is on Tuesday which is the day that the building is opening to the public for a walk through and stuff, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to attend the opening or not, depending on the time. I plan on studying my ass off tomorrow and Sunday and Monday.

Besides that, I’ve started writing NASCAR news / editorials again and may be going to the Atlanta race in October with some exclusive passes so I can report on what’s going on. (Email me or comment if you want the URL… I don’t want to post it here because my full name is in it). That will be a big help to my budding little-non-existent career, but Journo over at NASCAR Insiders gave me some pretty good advice and I’m going to use it. It’s hard to be a fan and a journalist at the same time, which is why I’ve been trying to move away from my whole “fandom” thing lately. I want to be taken seriously in the sports journalism world, like Lee Spencer, Jenna Fryer, Nate Ryan and David Poole, four people I really look up to, even though two are around my age I think. Eh, I couldn’t help I found my calling ten years after I graduate high school… or nine years I guess, since I realized I wanted to be a journalist last year LMAO! I still think it’s hillarious I started at the newspaper as the webmaster with no real interest in journalism and now I’m Editor-in-Chief and want to do this for the rest of my life.

Weird, isn’t it?

More updates later.. I’m going to go work on an article and head to bed after the Truck Race. GO CHRISSY!
