The One with the Update and the Olympic Theme Song

The Olympics have been over for almost two months now, and I still have the Olympic theme song stuck in my head.

You know, the "I believe together we'll fly/ I believe in the power of you and I" song? Anyways, when the actual Olympics were on, I had R. Kelly's "I believe I can fly" stuck in my head, but now that they're over.

Hello, Olympic theme song.

Also, school techincally ended on Friday. I'm officially done university.

Or so you would think, except I took an investigative reporting workshop, and we didn't finish on time. And the instructor nabbed like, four of us willing to stay behind and actually do the grunt work to get this thing published.

I was nabbed because I'm apparently the best writer in the workshop, although the instructor didn't give me the Official Writer Position while the workshop was actually underway. What this means is that all of the other group writers (excluding me, delegated to Group Writer during the workshop) handed in copy that would make Jesus and babies cry. So I'm re-writing everything, and every five minutes the instructor stops what he's doing and apologizes to me because he didn't follow his instincts and choose me in the first place.

That's why I've been lame and haven't written in forever.

Plus, I'm having a crisis because I don't know what I want to do with my life because I've decided that I don't really want to play the Russian roulette that is the non-existent journalism job market. Apparently unless someone is dying/having a kid/retiring at the ripe old age of 88, there are no jobs in journalism.

So I think I'm just going to work at my part-time job for the summer (more hours, obviously) and then take a course in ESL (English as a Second Language) from September to December. And then obviously move somewhere that would require people to learn English as a second language.

I'm thinking somewhere in Europe.
