Finally completed my first semester in the program!
Here is my "resume reel", an overview of my work this semester. (This is the kind of thing I'd send to potential employers, accompanied by my resume.)
Enjoy!

Concert
Well, this is it: end of the year concert is here, I just completed my resume reel, and I'm sick. Bleh. The stuffy-nosed, light-headed kind of sick. So wish me luck... But I am really excited for concert--it's so much fun to be part of it, and the finale is probably one of my favorite parts because the stage is just packed with the entire company and it's very... dramatic! :D So if you're coming (which you should be if you read this blog. Shame on you if you're not. Although those living in an other country may apply for an exemption...)
The sad thing is, we won't get a video of it this year... bouh!

Take a little bit of this...
Add this,
and voila!
PS: I kind of stole this idea from some random blog. But hey, if they post a tutorial it's cause they want people to copy it!

O-O (eyes popping out of my head)
Seriously???
"one of the new law’s [from health care bill] benefits would be to ban the denial of health coverage to women who have had a prior Caesarean section or been victims of domestic violence. Some companies providing individual policies have refused coverage in those circumstances, regarding Caesareans or beatings as pre-existing conditions that were likely to be predictors of higher expenses in the future."
wow. so if you're beaten up by your husband and finally gather up the courage to leave, you not only get to put the pieces of your life back together, but insurance companies get to make more money off you.

I understand that it makes sense in a way that pregnancy would be a preexisting condition: if you've had a baby once, it generally means you're able to have one and are capable of making more. I guess if you've never had a kid there's no way of telling that you're not sterile or something. I don't know. And if I remember/understood correctly, once you've had a C-section you have to deliver that way every time after, more expensive etc etc... so fine, it makes sense.
But a woman who's been beaten???!!!
Insurance companies are the devil.

Craftiness
Well, first of all I need to brag a little.
I am almost through my first semester as a student reporter, and I've survived AND I feel like I've progressed a ton! It feels great to have accomplished so much; I have a bunch of news stories on my hard drive that I've sweated and probably cried over, and I'm quite proud of how far I've come in a few months.
Also, couple-haters beware: my husband is amazing. No really. I received a special springtime surprise waiting in the newsroom for me last night-- it'd been a long week and inside the brightly colored wrapping paper, underneath the cheerful flowers, was a lovely dress that I'd been eying for quite some time. This is most likely proving my hidden material girl, but a new dress really does do wonders for a woman's ego, if I do say so myself.
(Mine is in black)
And finally, it's time to get back to the sewing machine. I'm feeling the inspiration right now! I've been making some dramatic changes to my red smooth dress, and it's pretty exciting... I'm stoning most of the bodice with bright ruby-red stones :) pictures to come soon...
