riding around in my automobile

Well it's back from the ol' journalism competition and I am exhausted!!! The competition the hanging out was not the tiring part, it was the drive that was so tiring. It was a little over 5 hour drive for us because we went up to Huntsville to visit some friends. I am super happy that we did though.

Good news is that our newspaper won quite a few awards combined, which is exciting because we were competing in Division 1 which includes big schools like UT, A&M and Baylor. The on-site competitions were in my opinion goofy and very staged. I felt like I couldn't truly show my talent and abilities.....but whatever. The best part of the whole trip was seeing old friends and hanging out with college buds.

The bad part of the trip, however, was the price of gas. It is so ridiculously high. I have nearly wiped out my bank account and it's only the beginning of the month....not good. If someone tried to rob my account now they'd probably just give the money back out of pity. :) It'd be nice of them to throw a little extra in while they're at it.

As you can see I don't have any words of wisdom for today. Just pooped out from the trip and glad to be "home". Maybe I will have more to say tomorrow...
