I'm ditching song titles.....
Sorry for the long delay in posts. There have been several times over the last week or so that I thought, that's something I should blog about--and then I get home and I'm tired or not feeling very inspired, and I forget about it. Today however, is a snow day. One of those rare excuses to be lazy because hey, I would go to work if I could, but I can't. Minus the cold weather, it really has to be the perfect kind of day. Even better than fake sick days because I don't have to feel guilty about not really being sick and just needing a day.
There's been a lot going on, both wedding and non-wedding related. Invitations went out last week (after a harrowing 14 hours trying to print them. aurgh) after several good friends stopped by to help us put them together (thanks again everyone!!). I'm so psyched that RSVPs have already started coming in, but I'm a little worried that we will end up over the number we'd actually budgeted for. Not that that's really a bad thing, just more money. I'm making the final payment to the hotel this week and I'm rounding it up and telling them not to keep the change--I'm 99% sure we'll be added tables. More fun for everyone, I guess!
The internship is really good. I'm slightly bored, only becuse I'm the newbie and they haven't completely felt out what I can and cannot do, but I'm slowly being given more responsibility. I really like my site supervisor and the entire office at that school is so sweet. It is a huge change from places I've worked in Baltimore, where people are usually very nice, but always have a hardened edge to them, like you never know what might set them off. Having lived there for so many years, I understand it, but this new place is kind of like a breath of fresh air.
Believe it or not, it's time for me to start applying for a job for next year. I had gotten wind of a hiring workshop being held for current interns in the county I had originally tried to intern with and decided to crash it. I fessed up as soon as I got there and was greeted with a, "Well, this is really supposed to be for our interns, but we're happy to have you" Okaaaay, thank you very much condescending lady. I was relieved to find out she is not the HR person I will initially interview with. I introduced myself to the HR person I will interview with and she was much nicer and almost apologized for her colleague. So, I'll be sending off my resume within a week or two and see what happens from there. Keep your fingers crossed!
