The internship, she is FINI!
Well, almost. I have a promised movie article due sometime next week. But my last day in the office was today. They were very sweet--treated me to lunch and gave me a plant and a nice card. I said goodbye to the eic on my way out, and he told me to call them after I graduate and if they have something that would work out for me, it's mine. Yaye. :) I get the feeling I have a very deep mine for letters of recommendation there--always useful.
On a more personal note, I'm really proud of myself for having gotten through this. I was really nervous when I started about being able to handle the workload, and the hours. I'm extremely tired, and got sick a couple of times, but I survived pretty well. I'm a lot more confident now about being able to survive my fall schedule.
Now, I just have some paperwork to do and some reports to write. I'll be spending the weekend mostly moving out of this hellhole in Silverdale, and back up to the swanky bachelor pad in B'ham. Then one more day here next week when the furniture people come, and that's that.
I'm looking forward to ~3 weeks of being able to get home projects done, and seeing M and the furbabies. And just reading and playing video games and sleeping andporn surfing and sitting in the hot tub. I also hope to find a day or two to see some of YOU. Wow. Social life. What a concept! We're also considering a small vacation sometime the week of the 18th, but haven't nailed that down, yet. Then I get to start work on The Student Newspaper From Hell on the 23rd.
This really is working out about as well as it possibly could, all things considered. I'm still waiting for that Sword of Damocles, but so far, I'm surviving well. And--the important thing--I really do think I've found my bliss. I love what I'm doing, and I can see a reasonably good future for myself in it. After 15 years of dicking around, I finally feel like I'm almost a grownup. I've found my contribution to the world--my payment for the oxygen I use. It feels good.
