10:36AM - More than words....

Well I haven't had much of a life lately. My days are so routine. I get up on Mon,Wed,Fri,Sat and go to school until about 5 from school I proceed to my place of work....in which I don't end up getting home until after 3am. On Tues,and Thurs, I'm on the same time schedule except for the fact that I'm not at school I'm at channel 4. Sunday has been my only day off but that has become devoted to homework. I have a test this Saturday and and an ad campaign due this Friday....oh that's tomorrow....Looks like I won't be sleeping tonight after I get home from work. On a lighter note...for those of you who don't know....I'm officially moving to L.A. I need to get out of Michigan and it wouldn't make any sense for me to move anywhere else with what I want to get into. That's all I got time for. I now have to tackle the cold streets of detroit with a camera man and bother people into telling me how much they love channel 4....even if they DON'T love channel 4. I love it though.....

11:44AM - Very cool

SO today at Channel 4 we were brainstorming for ideas that we could come up with to promote the super bowl. Finally a decision was made and we're going to create a Myspace account...sorta like how Nip/Tuck promoted the show with the carver on myspace. We'll get people involved on myspace through commercials for our myspace account. I showed the producers my myspace account and they were pretty impressed so I'm going to be one of the people helping to make the myspace page and get involved with the promotion of it and the superbowl. I'm very excited....on another note..I think I'm actually getting sick. I woke up today with a very bad sore throat...it actually feels a little better right now. I'm also really sore from working out yesterday. Pain is gain though. Well I'll keep ya'll informed on the crazy life and times of Tracy....

Current mood: happy

10:15AM - So Cal is where my mind goes

So I think I've made my decision. I'm going to get a job...save up lots of money and when I'm outta school move to California. I'm pretty dead set on it....does anyone wanna come with me???? haha. Last night at the Charity Event after party...I met sooo many cool people a few from Cali and we got to talking...I think that's the place I need to be....well at least check out for a little while. I'm going to see what the market for TV news is down there and maybe do another internship. We'll see where I my life is at that time I suppose too. I really just need to get out of Michigan.....

10:34AM - Hey Now.....

Eh...my stomach feels AWFUL.....after late night Denny's. The waitress was really bad too. I even think Sara filled out a comment card. Today I'm going to see Hostel. This should be a very disturbing movie. I might even get sick....I thought Saw was too much for me at some points....I can't even imagine what this will be. My internship is going good. A little boring at some points right now...but it's just because the Auto Show hasn't really picked up yet. Just that stupid elections crap we had to work on yesterday. Well I'm hoppin' in the showa.....later

Well here I am at Channel 4. There is nobody up here yet in the promo dept. Mike told me to be here around 10ish...so I'm here and he's not. AH well....it's just really cool how I can get anywhere in the building and go anywhere I want. I have my own desk and cubicle...my own password and e-mail addy for the station. It's just all a very fun experience. I start school again next week. My life is going to be so crazy. I might have to drop a class. NOT BOWLING..haha I'm keeping that. Well I'm going to try to find something productive to work on. Maybe I'll just browse around the Channel 4 website so it looks like I'm at least doing research or something on the station.

1:14AM - Nip/Freakin'Tuck

Well the Nip/Tuck party was very fun. The finale was AMAZING. I love how it ended but am dissapointed that I have to wait till next September for more episodes. Well I finally have my schedule for next semester. I'm going to be one busy girl. I MIGHT find time to eat sleep and breath. I will be going to school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday....on Tues and THurs I will be at Channel 4 from 10 am till whenever they keep me...could be 5pm could be 8pm....then I'm taking a Saturday class too....it's audio recording techniques and we will be learning how to record music for concerts. Since my job cut my hours severly I will not be working there because I needed to take the Saturday class...so it's to mommy and daddy for support for me. Thank God that they are so supportive of me being in college. I'm still going to try to get SOME type of work....somewhere...I was thinking about getting a small job up at school just so I could pay my own gas and phone bill. I'll be up in Ypsi most of my time anyway....I should work there....my school offers jobs with very flexible hours to work around school scheduling so perhaps I could work at the library or something....hopefully NO FOOD SERVICE....bleh. Tomorrow I have plans to have lunch with Brad...I haven't seen him in FOREVER and am really excited to hang with him again. Later on me and the fam are going out for my Granny's b-day. SOOO much food....that's all i'm going to be doing for the next..well probably two weeks...EAT EAT EAT....heh....I love it! I got my christmas shopping done today...I'm very happy about that. The mall wasn't near AS BAD as it has been the past few times I've went there. I do NOT want to go back there for a few weeks unless I'm absolutely have to, wow I didn't think I'd ever say that. Some good movies come out this weekend. I of course, will have to see them all. Well I'm off to bed...later gators

Current mood: tired

12:30PM - Just some rants.....

alright...well this could be coming from all the meds that I'm on...I'm pretty sick right now if some of you don't know. But I was just thinking to myself and got myself a bit worked up about something that I needed to vent about. If she reads it...then she'll know that I'm hurting..I still love her....but I'm hurting.

It PISSES me off that she left. It PISSES me off that I feel like she wants to be with those people more than the people that would do ANYTHING for her back home. She had so many things going for her and although its nice to have a little change in your life you need to be smart about it. How is she going to stay on her feet. I'm worried. I'm hurt. Eventhough the calls were few and far between I knew where she was. I knew that I could go see her if I absolutely had to. Now that's gone. It's very hard to get in touch with her and once I do it's a shot in the dark if her phone will work or not. She left me. Not two days earlier we were making plans on going off together. Sticking together for the long run. Being "friends forever". Who knows what will happen now. I love the friends I have around me that are left. I love the new friends that I'm making. It's just the hurt is setting in very deeply . Maybe it's how and why she went away that's confusing me. I see where she's coming from and I don't blame her completely. I just wish she would have given it some more time until she went. Spent some more time with the people that love her back home. 2-3 days is harldly enough time to let someone that you've been friends...sisters with forever know that you're up and moving away...not knowing when you'll see them again. Am I being too hard? I love her and I wish her the best. I just hurt...I can't say it enough. I miss her dearly. That's all I have.......

-Tracy-

11:15PM - Good day

Well today I found out that I got an internship at Channel 7. That's where I wanted it and I think I'll learn a lot from working there. Tonights episode of Nip/Tuck was AMAZING!!!!! In my opinion one of the best in awhile. I am SO happy that Julia left Quinton (bleh) but I am really not liking next weeks whole "pregnancy" thing that they're doing....JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOME HOPE FOR HER AND SEAN!!!! It also made me realize how much I like Kimber and Christian together too. I can't wait till they rehatch the whole kimber/carver situtation. Well it looks like once again I'm going to be taking classes on Mon,Wed,Fri and doing my internship on TUes and Thurs. I needed a filler class so me and my friend Ellissa are probably going to take BOWLING...haha that should be fun...or something close to that anyways....well I can barely keep my eyes open and I have to wake up very early...night all

11:30PM - Just some thoughts.....

I usually don't do the whole "lets post meaningful sappy lyrics thing" but tonight I dared to be different.



Oh no- here omes that sun again.
And (that) means another day without you my friend.
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself.
And it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away.

With so many people to love in my life, why do I worry about one?

But you put the happy in my ness, you put the good times into my fun.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes - sometimes,
you just have to walk away - walk away and head for the door.

We've tried the goodbye so many days.
We walk in the same direction so that we could never stray.
They say if you love somebody than you have got to set them free,
but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery.
They say time will make all this go away,
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
And once again that rising sun is droppin' on down
And once again, you my friend, are nowhere to be found.

And it's so hard to do and so easy to say.
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away, walk away and head for the door.
You just walk away - walk away - walk away.
You just walk away, walk on, turn and head for the door.

3:48PM - the birds LOVE my car

In other news....my interview at Channel 7 (which is Detroit's ABC affiliate for those who were wondering :Jenise!) went great. I will get an e-mail as to whether or not I have it within two weeks. Going to the set was awesome. If I interned there I would be actually getting to go out with reporters and drive in the channel 7 van with them...see what the news world is really like. I'd also get to do some writing and grunt work at the assignment desk (answering phones). They also let you make a tape of yourself doing an actual interview/new story which you write and pretty much edit/complete all yourself. You can later use this for audition material if on air is the path I choose to go down ( I still haven't decided). My interviewer also said I wouldn't be having to get NOT ONE cup of coffee...heh...she said I'm there to learn and to work and it's up to me and how bad I want a job in this industry as to whether or not I get a job in the future or not. I sat and talked to Carolyn Clifford(one of the main anchors there) for about 10 minutes today. She was really nice and made me feel very welcome. We talked about everything from how she got started (just like me) to what kinds of dogs we're considering buying in the near future. I also got to meet Heather Catello (investigative reporter) who is someone I would get to work with if I were to intern there. Interning in the news dept. lets you do a bit of everything, Produce, work in the control room, write, investigate, go out with a camera crew, do V.O's....very exciting stuff...well to me anyways. I felt at home there, I know this is what I want to do with my life and I know that it will take a lot of determination and hard work. I may not know if behind the scenes or in front of the camera is my calling yet but hopefully I will know after doing an internship...somewhere...lets just hope and pray that I get one. So that was my day at Channel 7....now I'm off to work....bleh...later!
