Your new Copy Editor has arrived.

Yes yes, please hold your applause until the end of the blog post. I finally made it onto the editorial board of the Michigan Journal! How cool is that! This was told to me around the time when I was on the cusp of a mental break down. It sort of pulled me back from the brink. Another thankless job for me to tackle! No, no, thank you Michigan Journal.

I know that sounded snarky, but I really am excited. It looks very good on a resume that you fought your way up to an editorial position on your school newspaper, especially at a school like U of M.

I'm still trying to stave off complete financial collapse. This weekend might be my last weekend working at WDET as weekend board op. While many of you WDET fans are currently rejoicing, I find myself in a bit of a pickle. I am someone with a great need to pay bills with very little means at the moment. While I know I'm not the only one singing this particular variation of 'woe is me' in Michigan right now, I can't help but feel sorry for myself, and a little scared.

I applied for a job in

Livingston

County

at a radio station. I would do so very very well at this job! I really hope they at least give me a chance to interview and prove how capable and passionate I am. I gave a pretty good resume, with really good references and pieces. I like the

University

of

Michigan Dearborn

because it's so practical. They've given me tons of opportunities to pad my resume. Although the really good opportunities you usually have to find yourself.

I feel like I've only begun to get my hands dirty in the process of clawing my way into a real job in Broadcast Journalism (or any journalism for that matter.)

It's hard right now, but I have hope. More than I can say for the past few weeks. I'm not the praying type, but if anyone reads this, please feel free. I need all the help I can get.
