school
Girlfriend: still 900 miles away, still camping, drunker than ever

Weather: pre-summer
Goal: CELEBRATE!
Priorities: drink a whole bottle of spumante while listening to loud trancy funky music
The internship is over! Even though I totally screwed up in the first part of my internship, things went a lot better in the second part. I scored 15 in a 0-20 scale (which is considered a fine grade in my school).
Man, I’m so relieved.
But I’m going to miss the second part of this internship. My tutor was an awesome nurse. Super understanding, super friendly and super frontal. Nothing like the other theory drama queens. It was nice to have someone practical for a change. Not to mention that she was super cute.. **aawww!**
Well, my kind of cute: short, smart and funny.
Sometimes I feel bad for having this kind of feelings and thoughts for other girls besides my girlfriend. I know it would be wrong to go any way beyond thoughts. But I won’t deny, the looks, the smiles, the comments. There was a connection.
I felt really good with her.
AH well. Spumante. My trusty companion. Come here.. **glug glug glug**
.. OH gotta go! My tamagotchi is calling!
I never really update this, but hardly anyone ever looks when I do - but its 3 am and I am freakishly awake and Facebook just isn’t keeping my attention!
So I'm trying to think of things I haven’t posted... I apologize if I make inferences about things I have posted and didn’t, or if I have already posted it - just bare with me!
I did get that internship with Target. After going through what seemed like hundreds of different interview rounds and climbed the endless hiring ladder, I finally got the exciting "congratulations" call. Its a 10 week program over the summer (that pays ROYALLY mind you) where I will learn the in's and out's of in-store Target and for the last 5 weeks I will choose a problem, devise a plan to fix it, and implement it. If they like me, they will send me back into the interview process for an actual job for in-store. In-store is not my dream by any means, but I think this could really leverage me into corporate. I have a friend that was just hired there and begins June - so I'm hoping he will give me a good reference when I put in my resume for corporate.
I did start another internship on campus (idiot Lauren I know). I am doing the sports marketing internship. My specific sports are volleyball and men’s/woman’s basketball - but I will be helping out with our football and our hockey team. I am having a lot of fun with it, but its taking up a LOT of my time, and seeing as how it’s unpaid I'm nervous about giving up so much time for it.
One of the biggest reasons I am afraid of giving up my time for free is because I was just elected president of my sorority Wednesday. I officially take over this coming Saturday. I know it sounds cliché, stupid and meaningless, but to me this is huge. It really means a lot to me that I was nominated, and even bigger I was elected. I’m extremely nervous however - as for the whole two or three people that normally read this blog, you know that I served as president of the choral program back in high school my senior year. To my detriment, this presidency will be nothing like it. Before, I had an actual full time employee who’s actual job it was to take care of my duties (even though she never did). This time, not only do I have to take care of 80 sorority girls, but I have alumni, potential members, bylaws/standing rules, the university, the Greek system, and nationals all breathing down my neck - all with no one to lean on. And yes - I know it’s just a stupid sorority, but it really has been my life for the last 3 years, and it's my family.
Monday I start a new job. I am working at a hotel here in town. I really hate that I have become so desperate for a 2nd summer job and for any form of money that I had to sink to the level of hotel, but when you live in a city that depends on tourism, that’s all there really is. Seeing as how 85% of the staff there goes to my college, it can’t be that horrible. And if it is, one of my sorority sisters recommended me the job so I can beat her up, and my roommate is working there now too so I can complain to her. It's in guest services, and after dealing with sorority complaints and plenty of other jobs with high profile complainers - I think I can handle it.
I’m moving in 35 days! THANK GOD. I can’t stand the house I am living in anymore. Mainly because the house is big, freezing, and we have a random obnoxious roommate that I would really like to punt off of one of the bridges. Our new place is a duplex. Its an old 6 bedroom house they converted so it has a really old-day characteristic, but they just replaced all of the flooring, windows and repainted the inside and are completely redoing the outside of the house. And the best part - HEAT IS FREE! No more 59 degrees in the dead of winter because we are too poor!!
As for the Irish guy - yes I am still seeing him... if you consider once every 2 weeks seeing each other. As you can see from above, I've been really busy and on top of all of that I had 2 weeks of midterm hell. His brother was in town for the last two weeks too, so it worked out well. I would have hated his poor brother to be pissed off because some American idiot girl wanting to take up his brothers time. You're only in America for a while! That’s another concern..... he’s only in America for a while.... he is only here until the middle of August. The more I see him - the more I want to see him. This whole two week thing has been working well for me... after seeing him, I really start to like him, but the longer I wait to see him the more I revert back to my weird dating self and re-evaluate the whole situation. Of course I would pick the guy that is only in the country for another three and a half months...
.At the packing store, when the lady saw that I was mailing something with "Legal Defense" in the name, she asked, "So, are you a lawyer or something?" Do I look that old? Really?
.Tomorrow... I'm having to grow up really fast, and I don't know how I feel about that. Tomorrow. I leave at 4 o'clock in the morning. UGH.
.Sigh.
.If you care, I'll keep you updated.
.At Bennington, during the months of January and February, we have what is called the Field Work Term. During FWT, students intern or work in their area of interest all over the world. I have no clue what to do. My mother begged me to choose a place in the continental US.
.I contacted the internship email address at Flaunt magazine and the tourism organizations for Papua New Guinea and Palau. Random. I know. But hopefully something better will come along. I doubt Flaunt magazine would take me. Interns for huge magazines are usually college graduates or have a great resume.
.My other option, which began as a joke but has somehow become slightly more serious, is interning for a major porn studio in production. In a totally non-sexual way--as non-sexual as it can be--I am fascinated by the porn industry. It's huge and brings in massive amounts of money, but is so incredibly bizarre. Recordings of other people who probably don't know eachother or have feelings for eachother doing incredibly intimate acts as if it were nothing. It's a form of legal prostitution that no one can escape. Basically, I think it would be incredibly interesting. And as my concentrations are directing, photography, and sort-of anthropology, all are relevant within this internship. I'm trying to decide whether I want to take myself seriously on this or not.
.Oh, me. Oh, my. Take a bow. Take a sigh.
