I'm a sailor.
I got a pair of Sperry’s.
They’re sort of the greatest thing ever. Along with being ridiculously comfortable, I get to pretend I’m a classy sailor when I wear them. So in conclusion, they were worth that crazy price tag.

I'm sort of a huge mess...
I am, I really am. Most of the time I just haven’t the slightest clue of what’s going on in my head, and especially right now.
That was sort of vague and weird. It’s okay, that gets the point across, right?

This song is fantastic- I’ve been listening to it on repeat, and you should too!

Not just a summer camp, I guess.
I feel naked without my NSLC lanyard. I feel lost without my trusty schedule. And oh my god, where am I going to eat, if not TDR?
Basically, the thought of leaving AU, and leaving all my new friends and NSLC is killing me. NSLC was actually truly life changing- I remember, before going, my friend Erika told me how great it was, and how it changed her life. I didn’t believe her- I doubted...

So, as I’ve mentioned before, I’m at NSLC Journalism and Mass Comm, taking a Broadcast Journalism course. First things first- lets talk about how amazing my broadcast course is. My professor is Marcus Rosenbaum, who worked at NPR for around 30 years, and has some great stories- but I’ll talk more about the class and its projects later.

I'm a little lost.
I’ll be perfectly honest: I have no idea what I’m doing.
