The affair...

Tim's and I in better times. Look at the love in my eyes.

It doesn't mean anything, I swear...

I have a confession to make.

Shortly after I started my summer internship at *insert large corporation name here* I began a torrid love affair with Starbucks.

I never meant for this to happen, as I always thought that Tim Hortons and I had a good thing going. However, once I realized that the coffee at Starbucks was rather delightful, and the passion tea lemonade was even better, I just couldn't help myself.

I'm a cheater.

It started off innocently enough; just a little flirting (Only going to Starbucks when the line at Tim's was so long, or when it was on my route and Tim's wasn't.) But now, when faced with the decision of whether I should pick Tim's and Starbucks, I often pick the latter.

I guess corporate life has changed me.

Ace Burpee is at it again; the morning show host from HOT 103 FM has started a campaign to collect children's items for the Elmwood Day Nursery, which burned down Sunday night.

If you, or anyone you know has any children's items that you no longer use, or need, please contact Ace at ace@hot103live.com

Project Elmwood is going to be massive. As CEO of Project Elmwood, I'd like to thank everyone who has stepped up so far. The plan is to fully re-stock the Elmwood Day Nursery which was torched Sunday night. We're going to do it all this weekend, Giveaway Weekend. It looks like I'll have a couple of vans lined up, now we just need you. If you weren't planning on participating in Giveaway Weekend, perhaps Project Elmwood will change your mind. What do you have that you could give away that may help in the re-stocking of a day care? Keep in mind they're starting with nothing, so everything is welcome. Little chairs, tables, books, toys, sporting equipment... you name it... we'll take it. E-mail me with details on what you've got, where you're at, and why you're awesome. The last part you can leave out. You qualify as awesome simply by helping out the Elmwood Day Nursery. My e-mail is ace@hot103live.com. PROJECT ELMWOOD 2010. Because we can, and will.

A: Ah-choo!

I have a cough due to cold!

Also, I lost my voice; it's kind of hilarious, cause I sound dreadful!

Oh winter!

A, AWESOME!

Me and the one and only Miss Lonelyhearts (photo: Matt Preprost)

I am having such a great time at the Free Press! I have met some truly awesome people there, and the experience has been so incredibly valuable to what I want to do with my life. (I worked harder than I have ever worked on my yesterday's story, and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that it was the cover feature this morning...It was just an incredible feeling all around!)

During my first couple of days at the Free Press, I was nervous as hell! -- My six inch stories ("blurbs") took me upwards of four hours to complete, and the final product was always mediocre at best! -- Though I still have a long way to go in my abilities, I have to admit that a week in the newsroom has been some of the greatest education I could ever ask for! (Bring on the Streeters next semester!)

I am living my dream, and even if it's just for another week or so, I am so thankful for the opportunity!

A is for AWESOME (Group 3)

I love CreComm! In the short time that we have all been in this program we have all become such good friends...It's the coolest, yet strangest thing I have ever experienced.

Group 3, you guys are Awesome! (Since everyone is so young, I think that it's safe to say that Maeghan and I are the CreComm Cougars! -- Hotness!)

A is for Art...A little Art project as a matter of fact!!

I made another blog.

this one is all pictures of neat things that I have seen painted, drawn, or somehow etched on walls...

It's kinda neat, go look at it here.
