It's been rainy all day, but the one reason I don't mind rainy days is that you are expected to look like crap. On sunny, warm days everybody's out riding bikes or lounging on campus and the girls all look like they've put in the time to throw on a skirt and do their hair, so when I go waddling through campus in my sweats, it's pretty apparent that I just don't care. On rainy days, it's totally normal for someone to throw their hair up in a bun, not do makeup, and wear big clunky boots. I relish rainy days.
I'm about ready for this year to end, but I know I'm going to miss it when it's gone. About half my friends are seniors and they'll be gone next year. I'm trying not to think about having to live with random roommates next year, seeing as my college existence could take a horrible turn if I get stuck with a mean roommate. I think Megan has pretty much decided on University of Michigan for law school...it's going to be so weird not having her around since we've lived together for 2 years. But junior year is done in about 3 weeks and I couldn't be in more need of a brain time-out.
I had an interview yesterday for a summer internship and it went really well! I'm pretty sure I got it, they said they want me to come work there this summer, I just have to call for details next week, but I'm always a little hesitant to say it's a sure thing after the fiasco that happened with Sony last year. This place is a small design firm specializing in entertainment design and they said that as an intern, I'd pretty much be a junior designer. I wouldn't be stuck filing and getting coffee as much as other internships, instead I'd actually get to be involved with the creative process and have imput with my own ideas. Basically, it's the perfect situation. The place is in North Hollywood on the top floor of an old theater building. Since I dont want to move around like 20 times and I want to save money, I'll be living at home for the summer and commuting there, which will probably be a pain, but I think it'll be totally worth it. AND I think I'm getting a used car, so I won't have to be that pathetic girl who always needs a ride somewhere or she can't go. Yay for mobility! It's nice to see things coming together the way I wanted them to.
It's nice to see the directions all my friends are going in also. Everyone is doing completely different things, but they're all wonderful. A special congrats to Brigitte who got into Columbia University and to Kris (though I don't think he reads this) who got into Teach for America. Those are both amazing achievements and I'm so happy for both of you.
