T-shirt surgery with Claudia =)

Not really in the mood to post piccies, more in the mood for life updates!

School: I finished my second internship on time and get a cute little intro and picture on the College Prowler website. Yay cred! I got a lower GPA than I would have liked (3.6) because my internship, even though for-credit and highly dedicated with a full portfolio and paper at the end.. was only Pass-Fail. Oh well.

Work: I had a job interview planned for tomorrow but instead got a job for Ivory Associates as a safety supervisor for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I kinda have a Homer Simpson job, except outdoors and with hard-hats. I'll make about $1K a week for the summer and can bring a book to read. My other job interviews were for canvassing (aka clipboard interrogating) for an environmental non-profit or secretarial work, but this pays wayyyy better for a summer job. My only concern is sunburn. I'll be stocking up on SPF 50+.

Friends: Got to see Claudia before she started jet-setting all over the place! Always good. Actually got to see Emma, Vicki, and peeps quite recently. Living in the ville will be quiet this summer, but I can afford to leave town a bunch.

Romance: Jason and I have been together for 5 months, I can't believe it! It feels like we've been together much longer and at the same time like we just met (the honeymooner phase). About a month ago, a friend of a friend who neither of us knew was guessing how long we'd been together. "Two years? What, no? Three? Four? No no no I'm guessing two years." It was incredibly sweet.

Fun: Went to the US Air Guitar Championship with Jason over the weekend- so much fun! Much more awesome than I thought was possible. This weekend who knows what is in store! We're going to Hershey park one of the coming weekends, that's for certain. Dave, Jason, maybe Vlad & co are all going to the beach two weekends from now, which will be a blast. Live music on the beach cannot be beat.

Health: I feel great. I've lost 3 lbs since I decided to get healthy after seeing the scale at the doctor's office. My weight is almost too easy to change (up and down though). My goal for the summer isn't a number, but rather I really want to fit into this cute skirt from high school.

Family: Everything is merry on the home-front; finally emptying out the old house, throwing out a lot of junk. Really. The dogs are doing well, loopy as ever. Heather's 13 now and Missy is 12, which is awesome, the breed normally lives 12-15 years and they are as healthy and happy.

So my dad stopped by my school to drop off a pair of shoes (yay my old tennis shoes!) and to pick up the spare keys and he brought by a ginormous thing of chocolates. Steph featured here helping me out.
