Update.

I GOT A PAID INTERNSHIP!

I will be working at the Ohio Department of Health downtown for the Bureau of Early Intervention Services as a "college intern."  Got the paperwork from them today, filled it all out and am having one of my professors write a recommendation letter for me (she was really excited to do so!).

I don't remember if I mentioned it on here, but I've told this to many people...as soon as I secured a paying position I was going to invest in a new laptop as my current one was dyiing slowly.  It has lived a good life, although most of it was a struggle because I like to tinker and it just started off with issues.  My Sony Vaio lived four years.  It is still alive, it will still be used for certain things...but now...

I have the new macbook pro.
13.3"

It is so beautiful.  I have been looking at prices and doing research for like 6 months.  It was due time.  Of course, I was really overwhelmed when I was at the store because I have never put this much money down on something.  I mean, I haven't had to before I guess.  Anyway, before tax = $999 @ Microcenter and I got a laptop sleeve (laptop blanket, lol).  Total together? like $1088 (after tax).

I managed to find an awesome macbook pro for 200$ less than retail! good deal, for sure.  Josh cannot dispute that, even though I am sure he will still make fun of me if just for the sake of making fun of me.  That's ok, I didn't do anything wrong and if anything I did get a good deal for a great computer with amazing battery life.

I spend so much time doing schoolwork that I end up cooped up in a room...now I have freedom! I can do homework outside as long as it is not raining.  Makes me feel less lame, for sure.

This will be put to great use this summer with my two positions, both consisting of a lot of projects.  I will have a lot of writing and research to do!

This is why I got Evernote.  Great app thru Apple where I can organize various notebooks containing web links, photos dragged in, text, etc.  It will be great this summer as I have to do research on many assessment tools for domestic violence, childhood obesity, etc.

So much to do! I should be working on homework, especially since I now have an awesome snazzy new computer but I am also very tired and trying not to get sick because everybody has been sick this week.

Next weekend I will be home.  Seeing my parents off.  That will be sad.  But, I will get to see them and I will get to finally spend time with Josh! hopefully by then we both feel healthy.

I've had a good day.  Macbook pro, productive, good conversation, and swans/canadian geese/swallows outside with good weather! Beautiful
