Diane’s World

Hello world.

Wow.
Is it really Friday?

Well let’s see if I can fill you in with what is going on.

We had another day of Tony Carnes, but he wasn’t as mean. I did get a good pictures of him in action, laughing at a paper:

Here is a picture of a poor student who is being ripped apart:

I love the expression on her face.

And here is Jason in the same class, wondering what the heck I’m doing taking pictures in middle of a lecture:

and here is Amy on my other side, the exact same class:

Anyways I’m over that. I realized in the end it was more of a power trip than an actual reflection of our talents.

Then we had another person come in Wednesday who writes for the Wall Street Journal (apparently I can’t tell you the name so sucks to be you). He taught us how to write a business article.

It was pretty much the most boring thing I’ve ever done. An earning’s report. zzz.

Thursday was our first day of teaching with Russell Pulliam. He’s ok… gave us lots of homework on top of McCandlish’s homework.

And we didn’t get out of class till five.

And we had a letter to the editor due at 8:00pm.

And I had to still go out into the city and find a new yorker local to interview.

Amy and I didn’t get around to doing that until 11:00.

So I put on some jeans and a t-shirt, and we headed the 5 minute walk to Times Square. I was armed with my brand new digital audio recorder that I have just recently invested in. (It’s the greatest thing ever)

When we got there, I remembered that the whole world in NY dresses up nice, so I said “Man I feel so underdressed. I’m in my Iowa clothes…”

The guy in front of me randomnly turned around (he was wearing a blue collared shirt and khakis) and said, “You don’t think this is overdressed, do you?”

He had two other friends and I ended up interviewing them. We spent 2 hours chatting about so many random things from intellegent design to Fitzgerald and the Great Gastby.

I got home around 12:30, and pulled an ALL-NIGHTER with Amy and Jason. Not a joke – not one wink of sleep. I had that paper to write, and I think it turned out ok. I would post it but I know you wouldn’t be interested.

Here are some interesting pictures of that night:

At 6:00 in the morning, me and Amy went to some park where Goodmorning America was filming the Dixie Chicks. Yes I saw the Dixie chicks today.

I also was on television. I appeared in the Weather part of the news – if you looked closely enough you would’ve seen me.  I’ll be signing autographs later.

So yup, there they are. Woot. (I was probably the less enthusiastic person in the crowd when it came to seeing the dixie chicks. What’s with the chick in the middle’s sunglasses/hair-do?

Thier stage presence is less than impressive. They need to learn how to move.

Well I’m in class right now, and I am desperately trying to stay awake. It is more difficult than I would ever imagine.

Just for fun I have some earlier fun pictures, most not taken by me:

A few of us in Time’s Square

In front of Madison Square Gardens

Us weilding our cooking utensils. I have no clue what Amy is doing, and Jessica just looks dangerous.

Similar roommate pictures, just different.

Jessica, Amy and I in front of the Flat Iron building

“Twins”

Jason being the pimp we all know he is.

Amy and I on an escalator in the Largest Store in the World (Macy’s!)

Well I’m out for now. I plan to go straight to bed tonight after classes get out (today we get out really early at 4!… thank goodness because I keep on randomnly falling asleept…)

See y’all later.
