My concept of time is really strange here, but I feel really far away from everyone that is not in the DC metro area. I don't know if it's just been my mindset, that I haven't been able to really think about things that are happening outside of the city for any prolonged period of time. In Bloomington, I still always feel very connected to at least ( Read more... )

I know I haven't written in forever (or at least it seems like forever?) so I guess there is a bit to say. I've been working 9-5 in DC for a month now and I've kind of settled into it. I might even like it if I didn't have about a 1.5 hour commute each way. The people I work with are really cool, most of our office are either other interns or ( Read more... )

So I've spent the day searching academic societies for my internship and I came across a few gems that I would like to share ( Read more... )

So I got into my first car-accident yesterday. AWESOME. It was extremely minor though. I was trying to get to my lifeguarding class and I was running late and things were just going wrong and I went right on red and apparently just didn't see this guy. I was just dumbstruck at first, but then we got out of our cars and to make matters even worse, ( Read more... )

We finally have internet in the new house! YES! For the last week or so, Heidi and I have been living in the house, but much of the things that are nice to have around (internet, tv, blender, frying pan, etc) have been at the old house. But if we ever need to make 50 muffins at the same time, we are SO ready. While there is only one frying pan in ( Read more... )

Things are beginning to come together but I am still super-stressed. It looks like I have an internship in DC and I'm still waiting to hear back from some really sweet internships. Amusingly enough, the only internship offers that I have right now are ones that I didn't apply for. Also I have an internship in Bloomington and one in Michigan that I ( Read more... )

I made my journal look pretty... the layout is based on a Parliament song that Johanna played for me: "Moonshine Heather ( Read more... )

I'm pretty smart, extremely adaptable and generally easy to work with. Why won't someone just give me an internship!?!?!? That would pretty much make my month. It might even surpass the evening of margaritas and porn distribution (and Johanna squirting Andy with mustard?!?!) as far as bringing joy to my life ( Read more... )

So I finally got an internship! After applying to probably around 20 internships (if I don't write another coverletter for a while, I will be a happy person), I finally got something to work out. I got a scholarship through my school for an internship with the Environmental Working Group, a small research nonprofit. But when I got the scholarship, ( Read more... )

It must be spring, motivation and work ethic elude me. Getting myself to do productive things is over half the battle. But I guess I'm not in any serious trouble right now... I have somehow managed to get some things done.... My chem final is over half done or so. And of the remaining half, I think I know how to do half of it... the rest I need to ( Read more... )
