Today’s title is from “Noble Aim” by Sleeping at Last from the final installation of their Yearbook series. Love this song.

Got to shoot some golf today! Especially on a day like today, it’s a lot of fun to cruise around a golf course in a cart, taking in the sights and taking some pictures. This was a little tougher of an assignment, as I had to get coverage for three papers and I took too many pictures (ha! what else is new :P ).

Moved offices at my full-time job and I now have my own office! Pretty cool, but I need to figure out some cool ways to decorate and fill the space. Everyone else in the office seems full of ideas, interior decoration is not my thing :P . Till next time!

Sorry this a little on the older side! Making a stronger effort to get fresh content up here!

Final today for my graduate class called The Press and the Presidency. Loving this class, teacher is great and the content even more so. It has made me a little angry with modern news coverage of elections. But once this final is over, I’m done until September! I am so sick of essays :P

Lots going on, some new ideas are popping in my head!
