It's Saturday!!!!!

Hello everyone! I hope you all are enjoying the weekend!
Here is an update on my week:
1. We had two "ice days" this week which meant school was cancelled! yay!
2. I observed a party today at Sweet and Sassy and will be put into the schedule this week! This is how the party went:
- the girls arrived and got dressed in the dress of their choice
-next they got their hair fixed and nails done
- then came the make-up
I thought this all looked like fun but I also hope all of those little girls know they're beautiful the way they are without all of the extra stuff.
-then they played dancing games on the runway... it was a lot of fun!
3. I dropped Astronomy- I just can't seem to stay in a science course, I hate it. So I will be taking Geology in 3 weeks during the summer to get it out of the way and another science in a 4 week session to get it over quick. I have a meeting with my advisor on Wednesday.
4. Brian was sick so I had to do New CD Friday by myself yesterday but I think it still went well, it was just nerve-racking.

That's really about it for now.

Love!

It's Cold!

Hello! I hope you're all starting your week off nicely! I started mine off bright (well dark) and early this morning at 4:30. This is how Mondays will be this semester since I have to be at the radio station at 6:00. But I really like it, so I don't mind.

I just got a job today as a party coordinator at Sweet and Sassy, a salon for little girls. I'm really excited because it will give me some event planning experience to add to my resume. And because it should be a lot of fun!

I had my first big photography assignment that I shot yesterday. It was a lot of fun. Those of you on facebook will be able to see the pictures now in the albums labeled Photography Assignment 1, there are 2 of them. I took them of my friend Gen and of Shayne at the Botanical Gardens.

New CD Friday went well although I was a little nervous. Thanks to those of you who are listening!

(Mimi, my Women's Memoirs and Fiction class is taught by Bonnie Blackwell. I'm really enjoying it.)

Love you all,
Lyndsay

This Week So Far

Monday was a school holiday, but I had my first shift at the radio that morning at 7am. I learned the ropes and got a hang of it pretty well... then I scrapped the country playlist that was automatically in the computer system and played what I wanted because here at KTCU we're allowed to do that. Around 8 I got a call from a woman on her way to work telling me she just heard 3 great songs on our station and that it made her morning. That was awesome. It's good to know I can make others feel good and start their day right with music. I'm currently sitting here on my third shift and it's going great. I'm really looking forward to my Friday morning shift at 9am. Listen to New CD Friday then to hear our reviews of new cds that came out this week.

Today I've been at the station most of the day but I also had my Women's Memoirs and Fiction class. I'm really enjoying it. Today we discussed race issues, it was a very interesting discussion. And I read in Dad's blog today about Georgia wanting to make April Confederate History Month and agree that it is ridiculous.

Last weekend-
Saturday Shayne had Rock the Basement shoots all day (www.rockthebasement.com), and I knew he'd be tired when he got home so I made BBQ chicken, his favorite, and put on a new Jazz CD I'd bought in honor of the Rebirth of Cool. (We also made martinis last week in honor of it). So anyway Saturday wasn't really planned out but it was the little things that counted and it turned out to be both of our favorite "date" we've had. Sunday, we celebrated our 5 month anniversary with Sushi as is our monthly tradition.

This weekend Kim might come visit and we're going to see Veloura in Denton on Saturday.

That's all for now. I hope all of you are well. Feel free to e-mail me and tell me what's going on in your lives I would really love to stay more connected and am interested in all of your lives as well.

Much love,
Lyndsay

First Day Of School

Hello.

so today was the first day of my last spring semester at TCU.
And like most first days it was completely pointless, hand out the syllabus, rattle on about class expectations...blah blah blah. Two of my three professors kept us the whole class period... not cool for the first day!
At least two of the three classes will be interesting, but a lot of work.
Today I had FM Stations Operations (radio), Photography, and intro to astronomy
Tomorrow I have topics in math and womens fiction & memoirs
and finally on wednesday I will have topics in television.

Good news is I'm signed up for 18 hours and have to drop a class. Any nominations on which one? I'm leaning toward math or womens fict. and mem.

other than that I got my car fixed... thanks mom! and now Shayne's is having trouble.

The new house is great and my roommate is the cleanest I've ever had!

That's all for now.

Love.
