threats

so, if you haven't heard...

yesterday there were signs found in the early morning hours around campus and at my apartment complex. they read as follows:

"10 people will be shot & killed today at -----" -at my apartment complex
"a shooting will occur today and students will DIE" -on campus

i found out about the threats on my way to my first class at 9:30 when my best friend called me. i got a chill and my eyes started to tear. you can only imagine looking over your shoulder every where you go.

the threats were made on the 2nd anniversary of virginia tech and apparently monday marks the anniversary of columbine. scary.

what bothered me most about this was besides the police, rangers, fbi, etc that were swarming the school, i seemed to be the only one concerned. people in my classes were saying things like "oh please, there were threats made every day at my high school." okay, well i've never been anywhere where there was a threat..and HELLO, it's a THREAT!

i'm very glad to be alive. and i'm very glad for my friends and family. i love you all!

so far they've had a couple of leads, but found nothing. i hope they can confirm it was a prank soon so i can rest easy. i don't want any tragedies. AND i'm only 29 days from graduation. now i can't wish to get out of here fast enough!

keep me in your prayers.

hippity hoppity, easter's on it's way

so i'm really excited to head back to my homes wednesday. i say homes because i'm spending the weekdays at my mom's and weekend at alex's. the agenda? well...

• relaxing
• probably packing some things up from my mom's either to sell in a garage sale or move over to alex's
• dog races on thursday...haven't been since i've been legal
• nick time
• sunday brunch with my family & alex -which includes game time!
• i'd really like to dye some eggs :)

it's going to be a nice week. hopefully i won't spend too much time thinking about all the work that lies ahead when i return. lots of projects and finals and work. i've put together a women's health awareness week for april 20-24 and now the psych club would like me to organize a violence awareness event for the proceeding week. i decided i'd make a really great event coordinator. what do you think?

i'm going to be one of those people who really appreciates their job; whatever it is. i'm not the type of person to do work that i'm not proud of. i'm just curious as to where the chips will really fall. as of today, pr people usually start out making around $52,000. if i'm just an administrative assistant, i'd make around $30,000, but if i specialize in public affairs or human resources they generally make $56,000. if i'm a pr manager, they make $82,000, directors make on average $126,000 & executives bank about $170,000! i know i'll have to start at the bottom and work my way up the ladder, but in the end i'd really like to own my own pr firm. we'll see i guess.

anyway, happy early easter! i hope the easter bunny brings you lots of good things.

here's to another fabulous weekend!

so alex & dakota just left. which means I'M left to work and prepare for class this week. actually, i can't really call it a week because i just have one class tomorrow and 4 on tuesday, then i'm off for easter until next tuesday!

so we had a fun weekend. went bowling, went to the park several times, played with the dog, played frisbee & ps2 games, went to see a play, and rented 2 awesome movies. a very fun-filled weekend i'd say :)

41 days until i graduate...and move in with him! & 54 days until vacation! then...we'll see what the real world has in store for me...yikes :| lol

i only have 10 days of class left....ever. wow, i apparently like to count things :) it may not be ever. i was discussing with alex yesterday that i'd go to grad school if my job wanted me to/wanted to pay for it. i'd honestly like to have my masters or phd, but i don't think i would voluntarily stick around for more school right now. we'll see. my name with a "dr" in front if it would be very exciting! but then again, i don't need a doctorate for public relations.

anyway, it was a very relaxing weekend. i'm always sad to see them go though. but in 41 days neither of us will have to see the other go. now that's a nice thought :)
