updates from a community journalist
I was driving my van, trying to make my way out of the staff parking lot D3 at Mt. SAC when a big station wagon in front of the entrance blocked my way and the way of some people trying to get in the lot. This lady kept honking at me and I told her I could not move. She said I wasn't supposed to block the entrance and I tried to explain that I was being blocked myself, why didn't she yell at the station wagon guy in front of me I wondered??

I asked my supervisor at the lab if I could do a half shift instead of my regular full thursday so I could go get some rest before my communications class tonight and she said yes, but when I got home and tried to sleep, I was laying down wide awake with little desire to sleep. So here I sit sipping orange juice and inhaling cough drops and eating citrus and trying to boost my immune system while trying to decide if I am going to go to my class later tonight.
I thought going from Walnut and Pomona to Glendora on a regular basis would be too much for me but thus far I have been able to handle my hectic work and school schedule, that is until this cold threatened to derail me.
The adviser at Mt.SAC's newspaper emailed me and says she will pay me to help update their website, essentially getting some cash for a job I was doing for free when I was a student there. Apparentlly they've published 3 issues thus far this fall but haven't updated their content. Well, sorry for the infrequent posts and updates but as I mentioned I am sick so until I feel inspired or in better health I leave you with this symbol, and if you're a communications major or just a big couch potato, you should know what it once stood for:
