Well as far as trying to figure out how to make the format of this blog look decent, it didn't get far. I promise I'll take time to eventually get it all together. Key word: eventually. I have been working with my dad a lot lately, which is great because I am learning a lot from the sideline talents and what other people think of the talents. What words are the right words to say and how to approach certain topics. I am red hatting the games (time out coordinator) and love it. I really rule the field when I am out there. POWER TO ME. Just wish they were high paying jobs... haha kidding! Work is going well. I am learning more about shooting and editing and hopefully doing a football stand up soon, which will be great practice and good for my real. CNN came today to talk to class and it made me really excited to get out into the real world. I know reporting is a time commitment and will take a lot of my attention, but I am ready for it. I love asking questions and finding out more about people and situations. I am extremely nosey but it's considered a good thing when it comes to broadcasting right? HAHA. Personal note: Went to the falcons game last night, loved the atmosphere. I never want to work anywhere else but in football. It gives me the chills every time. Although ATLANTA sports can seem to get their act together, it was a good game. The Braves lost the in the play-offs (not really that surprising, just sucks because they had great potential) and the DAWGS almost took a beating by Tennessee. Marshall and Scott-Weasly are out with ACL tears and who knows about Bennette. Were they going for our knees or something? NOT COOL.
So back to homework I go. I promise to try to update more often. My life is just the same though so not sure how interesting it could be.
Here's to loving ATL even though our sports team are in a rough patch, trying new things, and being optimistic, or at least trying to.

Well talk about a year of changes. So as many of you know, I vaulted for the Dawgs my freshman and sophomore year. While it was a great experience, I have decided to go in a different path and do an internship with IMG College instead of vaulting this year. One of the best decisions I have ever made. I am absolutely in love with my job and all the people I work with and I have already learned so much from everyone here! Along with this, I have dated a guy for three years straight. While I, at one time, was madly in love with him and seriously wanted to marry him, I took a step back this year to look at the bigger picture and realized I wasn't ready to settle, so I ended it. Talk about a world changer. We knew everything about each other and was very routine. It was weird having to bounce out of a routine relationship with both him and vaulting because I was all I ever knew here at UGA. But I can honestly say I am the happiest I have been in a while that I have no idea what the next day will bring or who I will meet. I can pick up and go anywhere. I love not being tied down. I can explore, travel, do silly thins, see old friends, meet new ones. I think this was the best decision I have made in a long time, and I am so excited for the unknown.

Still working on the whole format deal, I know the post before was kind of one big blur. My bad. ANYWHO. Just took my first exam of my Junior year. Fingers crossed it went well. Now I'm in the library and the guy in the desk next to me keeps hacking up a lung. GROSS. Some advice; THAT IS NOT ATTRACTIVE ON ANY LEVEL. I will go off on him if he does it again. It's just repulsive. Yesterday I got my gear. HA what a joke. I was on the team for TWO WHOLE YEARS and I barely got ANYTHING and the year I decide it's not for me anymore they have a whole bag packed for me. Whatevs, I'll be glad to take that off their hands. I am headed home tonight for the Jewish Holiday. Excited to see the family and work with dad a little. One thing that is really making me made lately; teachers posting assignments due on Jewish holidays. Listen, lets say I go up to you and say HEY, HUGE ASS ASSIGNMENT DUE ON EASTER, or christmas. You'd say no way Jose right? Well when I say something I get a shrug. It makes me mage. I'm not super religious on any terms, but COME ON. Really? Have some respect. -- and on that note I'll stop or I will continue to go off about it. Promise to figure out my formatting issues...eventually. For now; Pissed, annoyed, and ready for the weekend.

Well, hello there ya'll
Testing; One, Two, Three
My name is Ashley Rosenberg and I am a Junior this year at the University of Georgia. My intentions are not much for this blog. Just simply getting my thoughts down on paper, which journalist are prone to do, right? With the turning of technology absolutely taking over the world in every aspect of our everyday lives, I have decided to kick the typical journal/diary to the curb and move it online. If no one reads this, so be it. But this is for me and getting how I feel out on paper. Or I guess you could say document. This is not to be professional, I'll blab on as I would if you were talking to me in person. It might get super personal, but I'll try to spare details at all times.
So back to who I am. I used to Pole-Vault for UGA. But this year, more doors have opened for me and they looked a hell of a lot brighter than the one I was currently in. Don't get me wrong, pole-vaulting was a great way to remain grounded and set me straight for my first two years of college, but I was ready for a change and ready to start getting ready for my future. I went in for an interview with IMG College (AKA georgiadogs.com) and got the internship right away. In return for getting the internship, I had to stop vaulting. It may not seem like a big time commitment, but it sure is. I never had energy to do anything but sleep after practices and I had ZERO time to do things I wanted to do and join clubs or groups that I was interested in. Therefore, I made the decision to become a RAS. What's a RAS for those of you who skipped out on knowing the latest and greatest college lingo? Regular Ass Student. Or at least thats what us athletes call ya'll, or well, now me. BUT anywho, I decided to take the internship, which is EXTREMELY time consuming as well, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
It's amazing. Really. I never thought I would enjoy interning and doing work with out getting paid (snotty, I know, but hey, I'm still a broke college student) but I do. I have learned so much in such little time and I am obsessed with the people I work with. They are all understanding and will help me with anything I don't get. I have already done my first standup, learned how to use a camera, and am slowly learning how to use final cut.
So I'm signing off for now. I'll try my hardest to post updates of my oh-so-boring life. And if you're interested, keep checking back. If not, well sorry but I really don't care. I'll blog about anything and everything and it's your choice to decide if it's interesting or not.
SOOOOO as my first blog post is officialllllly donzo,
Yours truly,
RAS, Burnt, at work (shh) and happy we best USC, finally.
