Work is good. No... work is GREAT. I'm loving my internship -- I'm doing real work, not busy work or "cheap intern labor"-work. Not only do I enjoy the work -- everyone I work with (there's about 8 employees on the messaging team; we handle all messaging related services for the 17,000 employees of Principal) is not only knowledgable and hard- ( Read more... )

time for sleep *falls over*.

is draining the life out of me. I stayed up until 7 a.m. studying for my UBUS 310 test (the class starts at 9) and then decided to take a quick little nap until 8... only to wake up at 1 p.m. just in time for work.
