I'M A REPORTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm officially a reporter for KOAM in Joplin, MO. Tomorrow I go in for signing papers and everything :)

I'm so excited I still can't believe it...I'm just so shocked, its unreal! My first reaction was a scream and then I was just crying in excitment. I can't believe my dreams of finally becoming a reporter are here!!!!

exhausted.

its only 2:30am and I've got another hour and 37 mins left for this video to finish FTPing to a news station....its taken 8 hours.

pictures so far-

Jack Johnson's "HOPE"

going to make something of myself

Tomorrow I am buying equiptment and Sunday I'm driving to Joplin.

So tomorrow when I wake up I'm going straight to Best Buy and buying :

1. A HD flip cam. 1 or 2 hours...idk
2. A tripod
3. possible magnetic lens add on for the flip cam...
4. strap for tripod?
5. editing software?

REASONS...I'm going to go to Joplin to shoot still and video shots of the town to create a news package....remember future reporter/anchor over here

ALSO volunteering...I get such a joy out of helping others so I'm going to try to volunteer as much as I can while I'm there...if not more than anything else...one of my friends and my grandma's bf also lost their homes and I'd love to help them or help others find their things/clean up....anything...I want to help


SO the next week or so I MAY possibly be hard to get a hold of but get ready for stories!

so...

while putting on my makeup, I decided to listen to this song. I havn't cried this much in a while but it was deffinitely needed. I've tried being strong about this but the truth is, my parents divorce is killing me. and i'm still sitting here, crying. I love both my parents so much and I wish this wasn't happening, I wish we could all go on vacation together one last time. I wish I hadn't fought with my sister so much growing up, I wish I would've wrote my parents more at camp. Pushed them to go on dates more. Stayed home to hang out with them instead of anyone else....I miss it all.

 I wish I could just spend more time with both of them and my sister and have one last happy memory together.
