One month in...


Yesterday I hit a milestone. It has been one month since I started working at The TCC Connection. I must say, it has been a learning experience.

I love having a job that I come to work excited about. So many don't have that luxury. I love that where I work is an award winning newspaper and that many of the staff have won awards. It's rewarding to think that I have an opportunity to do the same.

Working at The TCC Connection affords me so many opportunities I never would have had in just any job. I was able to attend a state regents education board meeting yesterday which was an interesting experience. I never would have had that opportunity if I didn't work with the college newspaper.

Working at The TCC Connection is easily the best decision I ever made in recent years and I'm looking forward to all the great opportunities ahead.

Day 14 of my #30daybloggingchallenge Three healthy habits

I have started to try to incorporate more healthy habits into my life as of late. Here are three. 1. Get to bed at a decent hour. I used to stay up until after midnight every night, just surfing the net and watching television. Now, I try to get in bed by 10:30 or 11 p.m. at the latest. Getting more sleep allows me to be more productive the next day. 2. Drinking more water. I have started drinking more water. I prefer bottled water or sparkling water, I  do not like the water from the tap in my area; it has a strange taste. My mom dislikes tap water too and keeps bottled water around for that reason. 3. Get some exercise in daily. Whether it be going back to the gym or going to the park or stretches here, I try to do something. I've been doing house cleaning daily this week and that requires lots of exercise on my part. What are your three healthy habits?

Finish strong!

We're down to the last few weeks folks! I have to finish my editorial on the college admissions scandal this weekend and this month will be attending a religious service for intercultural communication. On the 18th, I will be attending the Campus Activities Board for student leadership recognition and then a gala for winning a scholarship! This has been a challenging semester with lots of illness and pain, but I can see the light. I will have three weeks off until my summer classes start. I am taking Social Media Marketing and Honors TCC Connection. My job requires all students working there to enroll in a class each semester to advance their learning. In the fall, I am taking Principles of Advertising, Honors TCC Connection, Digital Photography, and Japanese I. Wish me luck! Gabrielle

Sick day

I'm home sick for a couple of days. I've had chills, cramps (that time is coming), coughing, sneezing, and sinus headache. Basically, I feel like hell. My boss told me to stay home until I'm better, so I'm working from home. I finished all my assignments well ahead of time and am doing well in my classes. So I've earned a day or two off. I'm going to try to be back in Wednesday, but we'll see how I feel. Just a blah day.....
