Nine + Eight

Ninety eight.

When I'm on the beach, I usually hate this number. It reminds me of the heavy, thick air that engulfs me in the humid Cincinnati area. So really, I don't even feel like I'm on a beach at all.

When I'm at the mall, this number is never good. Whether I see it on the "sale" sign for a that jacket I really want or on my receipt telling me I just bought that jacket, it makes me feel sick. Especially if it's just for one item. Ugh.

But when I'm in the classroom, it is a good number. If I get this grade in a general-ed class, it's expected. In a marketing class, it's great. In an elective, it's pretty cool.

But in a journalism class, it's awesome! I received a ninety eight on my trend story on autism dogs, and I plan to get it published soon (along with my others.. I figure, what is there to lose?). The fact that my teacher told me I should try to publish it makes me feel a bit more confident about it!

As for my drama/narrative story, I have formed a new, great theme/idea for it.. and I am so excited to edit it! Being a story about my grandpa and grandma, it would mean that much more to me if it actually got published somewhere. Here's to hoping!

Oh, and another ninety eight wouldn't hurt either. :-)
