I am at the internship right now but thought I might update this little fella since it's been more than a month. Don't tell the editor plz. Not much is new here in the beautiful Bend besides the increasingly beautiful weather and my impending nervous breakdown. Got denied from two sweet jobs I was optimistic about and have found that my self-diagnosed ADD has truly gotten the better of me these days. I think I reached my fullest potential as a good student at age 13, nine years ago. From there I have progressively gotten more and more involved in things that interested me more than school and I have found that the true problem with college is the availability of really sweet stuff to do. I have spread myself too thin. But it's been really fun and I have learned more outside of the classroom here than inside, which I guess is a part of the whole experience, right?
((Secretly I was kind of glad I didn't an offer from either of those because now I can go on vaca with the fam in June. Maybe OBX in July. Life is tough...))
I promise to take responsibility soon. I am so thankful my parents are not pressuring me to take just anything, and my mom's constant reminder that I, too, am "an asset" is always reassuring. It's so nice to know no matter what your parents are always your biggest fans. I really am not bummed at all at the fact I get to go home for a bit and sort things out. I will have one objective: find a job. No other articles to write, poems to translate, notes to transcribe or professors to interview. Which, admittedly, makes me just a little sad, too.
