I finally found some time to go and update the life of KIKI ELMORE. haha
So I read my last post and I was at week 17 of school before graduation. Well I really don't know what week I'm at right now but I'm less than 2 months away before walking across the stage with the degree.
Exciting...
Well honestly..I'm scared shitless right now. Beginning December 17th I'm free of school and it's up to me whether I want to go back or not. It's when i actually step out in the real world and make decisions that will probably affect the rest of my life.
If you haven't noticed, I living with my mommy and daddy and is far from ready to take on that responsible. Need I say, I have the slightest clue of what I want to do or where I even want to go.
Now, my heart has always been set out on Atlanta but I'm scared to move there before first of all, who knows if I'll find a job or not and I just bought a new car so I have a car note to cover. I'm struggling now to afford it so I don't want to put myself out in the world when I know it will for sure eat me and spit me right back out.
Don't get me wrong, I've been waiting my whole life for the moment. Even my parents have but it's just frightening when you don't have a plan. The world is quite intimating.
Well maybe between this time now to the next time I post something, I'll have a plan or something. :D
Well I'm out for now!
ChoW!!!
1 week down 17 more to go...
I've finished my first week of the fall semester and it didn't go that bad. It was actually better than I though. I actually like all my classes. Even my Oral Interpretation class. I know right. That's definitely not me but whatever it takes to walk across that stage December 17th.
Well outside of my classes, I start working in training room on Monday. I think. Well sometime next week. In the process I'm looking for another job too. Also I receive my refund check this coming up Friday. So I'm hoping to get my car that weekend. It's Labor Day weekend so I know some good deals going to be around. So fingers are crossed on that. Cross your fingers too. haha As far as what I'm getting. I don't know yet. I'm really liking the 06 Ford Explorers. I didn't know they were that nice on the inside. Like really. But whatever I get, I'm definitely going to be blessed and thankful for it.
As far as my internship, I went up to the office Friday I think and met Buddy Davis in person. Great man. He's nice too. He's helping me a lot too. My next two stories I'm really going to enjoy doing because one of them is with my "future husband" ok...my "future wannabe husband" lol But Doc Hoefler got the girls basketball head coaching job at Simsboro High under principle Ricky Durrett. Talk about exciting huh?! And my other story is covering the new head football coach at Grambling High. I don't even know who that is. But my deadline is NEXT WEEK before Sept 1st. So cross fingers that I get that done.
Speaking of internship, I think I might have another internship next semester. It's working with a Sport's Anchor for a local news station in Alexandria. I don't know if it's paid or not but whatever I can get to help me build my resume and experience. Like it's really good to know people now a days. Seriously.
Well that's about all I have going on at the moment. I had some free time and I just thought I would come and fill you in on some things.
Another thing that has been on my mind though is why do people feel like they protecting your feelings when they don't tell you the truth and just give you the run around. Like is it really that serious. Especially when they your closes friends. I mean if I'm close friends with you I would want you to know the truth. I wouldn't want anyone talking about you behind your back or better yet I wouldn't want to keep anything from you. I mean the people in the world is so cruel. But you know it's whatever. I still have to live for me. So yeah
Well happy Saturday and I hope you have a happy Sunday.

Busy Busy and more Busy...
It's been a minute since I've written here but it's be a crazy life. I shall elaborate on that in this piece.
Well as many know I've started school. Yes my last semester as an undergraduate. Talk about EXCITED!! December 17th can't come here fast enough, but in due time it will be here. Well anyways, my schedule isn't all that bad. I'm in class Mondays and Wednesdays and have the other days to work. haha I know you wonder work where?! Yes, I did find a job. It's only on campus, but it isn't that bad. At least I can get a car for now. :)
Other than that I'm currently doing my internship. I'm doing it at the Ruston Daily Leader working with Buddy Davis the sport's editor. Totally fun! My first story was even featured in the Sunday's newspaper. Super excited about that. I'm also working with the school newspaper writing sport articles. Major fun also.
So as you can tell my life is pretty crazy and busy right now. The only thing I'm missing is my new car because the car I have right now! It's not getting it. No air..and I just bought a radiator and it's still overheating. Like the car has done its job for the past 4 years! I love that car to death but it's time for me to move on.
Now outside of school job and internship is my love life! Nope still don't have one of those. I really would like to have one but I wonder how would I ever fit him in my schedule. Then I thought, if I find the right person, I would find a way to fit him in my schedule.
Well that's about all I have to share right now! Be on the look out for me in the ULM Hawkeye and the Ruston Daily Leader.
Love Bunches....

Desperate Times Causes for Desperate Measures
Today was a really good day. Two church services and a movie! I don't think it can get any better than that.
The first Sunday in August is Mount Harmony Baptist Church homecoming and the week following that Sunday we have revival. So I went to regular church services and learned how to recognize my season. I'll do another blog about that lesson later. Along with that lesson I learned about false advertisement which we are all guilty of. Especially Christians but once again that's another blog.
Attending two church services I thought I would relax and go to the movies. Ok I'm not going to lie. I really wanted to go yesterday but I didn't want to pay. Did you know that it cost $8 to see a movie. Like really? Is it really that serious?! I guess so. Anyways I was desperate to go see "RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES" and really wanted to take a nice young man with me. Well of course I go through every male number in my phone asking and I got turned down every time. Sad, I know. I ended up getting mad so I said forget and went on about my business that day. So today the movie was still in the back of my head so I decided to just go and go by myself. I had invited my mother but she ended up changing her mind. Yes, I ended up going by myself. Desperate Times Causes for Desperate Measures.
....... LAME .......
Coming back home and roaming on the computer I begin thinking that I really need a job. Like seriously. Well on twitter a friend sends me this direct message about this work from home thing. I checked out the website and it seemed reliable. Well it cost me $97 to ge4t started. I'm terrified that it's not going to be what I think it's going be. Lucky enough they say...yes I said they say...they say that I get my money back if I don't like it. But it's within 60 days of today. The day I ordered it.
Desperate Times Causes for Desperate Measures...
I'm so anxious and desperate to get a job I thought why not try it out. Like I said, it cost me $97. Crossed figures that it works. I still can't believe that I spend that money just to see if this work. Well being that it's after hours and they are closed on Sundays I have to wait till tomorrow to talk to someone. Fingers crossed that this work. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Desperate Times Causes for Desperate Measures....
I just need the money ASAP. Need a new car ASAP.
Anyways
Happy Sunday

Another Day's Journey
I didn't lay my head down to rest until 4am this morning and then got back up at 8am to help a friend with a project. Something I thought I was going to regret doing but it was actually a fun experience.
Everyone knows about the Peach Festival in Ruston and the Strawberry Festival down south along with other festivals but who has ever heard of the Chicken Festival. Clearly I haven't. It takes place in Dubach, Louisiana, a very small town about 10 minutes North of Ruston. I've been in Ruston my whole life and never heard of the Chicken Festival. One thing I love about the area of Ruston and areas around it; you always learning something new.
A cousin of mine thought it would be cool to do a piece on the history of Dubach as the Chicken Festival approaches(September). So today we took a trip to lovely town of Dubach. He showed me around and I took a few pictures and took note of how it had changed. I really think this would be an interesting project.
So in the process of doing this research I came across this young girl who is trying to raise money to attend the American Idol in Texas that is coming up. I really thought that was cool. I love seeing young people trying to better themselves. It's a lot of kids out there not wanting to better themselves and they want to be dependent on someone else so seeing young people trying to better themselves and make their dreams come true it's just an amazing feeling!
There will more of that story of that young lady coming soon.
Now back to the Dubach project. I'm going to write a piece on the history of Dubach and integrate the Chicken Festival into it.This will be my very first big project so I'm looking forward to that.
In the meantime it was another day's journey and I didn't get much accomplished today but hopefully tomorrow or should I say today I will get a little more done!
Happy Sunday

ITs FINALLY MY TIME....
Washing dishes tonight, it hit me that I have a ton of things tumbling around in my head and yet I keep it all inside and don't care to share with the world. But then again some things are just worth sharing and I can't stop myself from going to twitter and facebook and posting it. Addicting. I know.
Just this past week I had decided to leave the social media world for a little while (a little while as in a few months). Well as you can see, it only lasted a week. I really do believe they need a rehab for social media people. I'm so mad that I deactivated my twitter because I can't reopen my account like on facebook, so I have to start over. Lame! I know but hey maybe it can be a new beginning for me! And this bring me to my very first blog in a long time.
So in the back of my head I'm thinking maybe this is what I should do. Share my thoughts to the world. After all I'm starting to pick up this writing thing. Trying to be a journalist and all. Fun!
So, is it finally my time......
Trying to take on this role as a writer I thought why not expand my horizons. Why not write a blog and share my thoughts to the world out there! You wouldn't believe the things that be going through my head sometimes and I wouldn't mind sharing it with the world. After all I have all this free time being that I'm out of school for the summer and don't have a job nowhere so why not put my time to use.
So I leave you with this...be on the lookout for your girl Kiki.
