Is AdmirableArmstrong Latreia's hubby? I've gotten that impression from a couple of his posts. I've also gotten the impression that he's >.< close to going ballistic.

I'm thinking that was a typo on ST's part. It now says "XIX" instead of 'XIV' in the title.

Thanks to Liz, Raven and everyone else for the support yesterday. *cuddles*

Lectures with PacMan are getting better , she's finally lightening up! I might even stop calling her PacMan! ( The hard part will be convincing the other 75 students the nickname caught onto... :funny: )

A few weeks ago, the Literature department announced places in a Journalism Program with one of the biggest media coverage networks in Australia. A certain teacher bullied a certain less than model student into applying, on the basis of submitted essays and full marks on the yearly exam. "It's the opportunity of a lifetime, so many apply, so few get into it, it's worth a shot, though you'll probably never hear anything back anyway..."

We heard back yesterday. I got in.

The rest of the day was lost to an incredibly highly strung photographer, his cowboy hat, and crew.

t'was an interesting day, to say the least.

It's a journalism program and they brought you in to do modelling for them? GRATZ!!! It sounds like a prestigious appointment. I wish you well, WTF.

ROFL!!!

No no no no, not a model - just had performance portfolio photos that day.

"Less than model student" --- I was making an inadvertent reference to the fact there were better applicants, haha.

Sorry but i don't buy this. The teacher obviously has a high opinion of your abilities given the recommendation, and from what I've seen here I suspect the teachers assessment is correct.

Less than cooperative? Easy to believe.
Not a herd follower? Of course.
Doesn't always follow the rules? Hehe.

If the journalism instructor has have a wit, (s)he will be very forgiving of such traits in a quality student.

Anyway, that is my honest assessment based on what I've seen here.
