Day 30 Happy: My new internship
This morning, my friend Angela (we go to school together and spent all of the spring semester working on a magazine that we made completely from scratch) and I started our internship at Graphics Tech in Tampa. We were only there for four hours and spent most of the time talking to the guy who is going to be in charge of us, but I can already tell that I am really going to like it, and that I am going to learn a lot!
I learned that Graphics Tech has a whole bunch of different services to offer to businesses, like social network marketing, website design, and website hosting, just to name a few. Angela and I are going to be working on a marketing campaign that is geared at customers that may need to update their website. If we get customers, and help design their websites, we can even earn commission!
I can't wait to go back tomorrow and learn some more stuff. I already found out that there are some things wrong with the way I write my blog (not the content, but there are ways to make it more likley to come up on google, bing and other search engines). I am going to fix it, but not right now, because Marc and I are going to dinner with some friends and then going to the 12:30 a.m. showing of the new Twilight Saga movie, Eclipse!

Sleeping In! (023/365)
Day 23 Happy: Sleeping in!
Today I had every intention of getting up early, doing some homework and housework, and then getting ready for work. Instead, I ended up laying around in bed, half awake, until 10:00, when I finally had to get up for work. I don't usually linger in bed that long, but I figured I deserved it.
A week from today, I start my internship at Graphics Tech in Tampa. I am both nervous and excited about it, but mostly I'm just preparing myself for the exhaustion. For six weeks, I will be working 40 hours a week at my regular job, plus 25 hours a week at the internship, and doing homework for two classes, Adolescent Literature and Survey of Criminal Justice. I am pretty sure that I won't have a chance to sleep in again until the beginning of August, so I took advantage of it today.
Hopefully, when all is said and done, my exhaustion will be worth it! I graduate from college in December, so I only have about 6 more months of this madness!
On another note... I am trying a veggie burger for the first time for dinner tonight. I'm terrified! What will a burger made out of veggie and soy product taste like? My sister, Lyndsey, says that they are pretty good, so I am going to give it a shot. I'll get back on later and let you know how it tastes.
Update: My veggie burger was... not terrible. It was a different texture, and didn't have too much taste, except for a char-grilled taste, which actually kinda made it taste like hamburger. I smothered it with mustard, ketchup, A1 and pickles, and it made for a pretty satisfying dinner. Marc was making fun of me because I was afraid to try it at first, just like I was afraid to try our first attempt at home-made vegetarian Chinese food last night (which actually turned out pretty good, but needs a few tweaks for next time). Being a vegetarian for almost a month has definitely made me expand my normal range of food! So far, so good!

Fly Away Home (009/365)
Day 9 Happy: Plane tickets!
My little sister, Lyndsey, has been in Italy for almost a year. The last time I saw her in person was when she was getting ready to go through security to board her plane on her way to Europe. When she finally set a day in stone that she was going to be home, I started looking for plane tickets for myself. I wanted to be able to be with the rest of my family, and greet her at the airport when she came home from her trip.
My patience paid off! Today, I got a round trip ticket from Tampa to Atlanta for just under $160, including taxes and fees! When I started looking, they were almost $300. I feel like so much pressure is off now, because I know will be there to welcome my sister home, and I will get to spend a precious few days with my family.
I can't wait until my trip!
