You can do anything journalism related within the journalism department any time of day.
Well, by the time they gave me the extension, all the shifts at the radio station had been signed up for.
And the only shift left was like some Sunday morning gospel, play the gospel tunes radio shift.
And at that point, I was already on the road doing comedy regularly because during that suspension is when I started stand up.
So I literally cannot do Sunday morning because I'm somewhere in the South on a Greyhound headed back to town.
So either I give up comedy or I have to get a radio or I have to get an internship at an outside radio station.
So most radio stations in Tallahassee, they didn't have.
They just didn't have scheduling that was favorable.
I was just like, I need something to fit my schedule.
I know beggars can't be choosers, but I can't come here in the middle of the day on a weekday.
I got classes.
I can't come at night because I'm working at Golden Corral.
The only time I'm free is the ass crack of dawn.
That's the only time I can make this work.
