HOLY SHIT, YOU GUYS: The White House Internship Program is accepting applications. And since I graduated college in the last two years, I'm eligible.

In addition to normal office duties, interns will supplement their learning experience by attending a weekly lecture series hosted by senior White House staff, help at White House social events, and

I'm kind of leaning towards not doing it, just because...I don't think, practically, it's going to work out. But thank you for the encouragement, nonetheless. It means a lot to me, Adriana. :)

I watched it, I loved it! I really enjoyed watching them play "No Line on the Horizon" live. The interview was really good too. <3

*hugs you back*

Stop pondering and apply NOW!!!!

[emotionalwench]

Haha, damn! Don't hold back, tell me how you really feel. XD

The more I think about it the more I think it's not gonna work out due to my already being committed to the archaeology thing. But thanks for your encouragement still. :)

I agree with whoever said that at RBR

[emotionalwench]

Yeah, it's not a bad idea. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like the archaeology is the way to go. Plus I don't actually want a career in politics, and I think I do want a career in archaeology, so as much as I'd love to rub elbows with Pres. Obama, Rahm, Axelrod and others, I don't think it's the most practical idea. I do hope someone else at RBR applies and gets in, though!

*wishes she knew what quixotic meant*

Aww, damnit! I had my comment of encouragement all set up in my head until I saw the ETA note. Damn! That would be so awesome, and you'd so get in, bb. Tsk. That's really a shame that it would coincide with the field work - but I admire for you for sticking with your first commitment, the archaeology. Hey, you never know, this may come around another time! :)

Hmm...but that person is right. What if the archaeology does fall through? Is it possible that it could? If so, I'd say go for it!

[emotionalwench]

Quixotic: foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; especially: marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action. (I've been wanting to use the "quixotic" mood forever and now I finally can, haha

[shoebox_addict]

Haha! Okay! Now I know, thank you very much, walking dictionary. ;)

You're welcome! Of course you would, silly! Hmm...that's true. Moving there could prove to be troublesome, mostly in the financial area. Hmph, it figures - damn money! Now, that's a good point. You know that you can *do* something with the field school experience, but you're not sure you can use the experience in DC. That's true...you're not really aiming toward a political career. Honestly, my first impulse would be to jump on this too but...I don't really want to go into politics in any way either. I dunno either...it's all up to you! Think about it. <3

[emotionalwench]

LOL, just so you know, I got that definition from an online dictionary; I didn't have it memorized! I'm not that good! XD

Yeah, money is the big issue. I have a feeling that once it was over and I came back to NC, I would be completely broke. 'Cos, you know, it's not a paid internship and I bet I would end up spending all the money I've saved just to live there for the summer.

Yeah, it's really easy to be impulsive and want to jump on it but the more I think about it, the more I think that the field school is the way to go. Thanks for helping me figure it out, though. <3

[heartpause]

O____O Oh *MAN* that would be the opportunity of a lifetime, hoooly crap to be able to help out with the Obamas, aahhhhh! Talk about a dream job, right??! .............Though I totally agree with whoever suggested you apply for both 'cause really that'd probably be the most exciting experience ever!!!
