home at last
We had more delays on the way home. Talk about crazy. We were supposed to be back in Islip by a quarter after 5 and didn't get in until ten after 7. It was foggy and rainy back here on the East Coast, which was causing delays all over the place.

I'm just glad to be back in familiar territory.

sleepy...
I was too sleepy to go in for my internship on Thursday. I just needed some time to recover from the traveling. I did go to work yesterday, though... and I had the Memorial Day flag placing at Calverton. More on that later.

extension please
I think I'm going to need an extension on my internship. With everything that was happening, I have a feeling I'm not going to finish my 90 hours in time for June 30^th. I'll have to talk to Patrice Newman next week when I'm back at school. She's one of the S.I.F.E. Business Advisory Board members for us, so I'm sure she'll understand. Either that, or I have to talk to the Lieutenant when I go in on Tuesday and see if I can do some catch up hours on the weekends.

I certainly hope so, anyway... either the make up or the extension. I'll take either at this point.

work work work
We also have nothing to do at work. It stinks. They actually sent us home. I stayed up in the library and learned the new system, ran a few errands, and went home early on Friday. While it's cool to be able to go home early, it stinks because I don't get paid for it.

I need the money... big time. I will be getting a raise when I go back for work study again in July. We just have to be careful not to use up all my hours too quickly.

rainbow news
Anyway, I went to the Calverton Memorial Day flag placing today. We go every year, but I wasn't sure if it was going to happen this year because of what happened back in March. South Side Lodge lost its charter. As a result, Suwassett Assembly lost its sponsor. Right now, Grand Assembly is helping us out in that respect, but we're going to have to find a sponsor and a place to meet.

I wish them luck. I'd like to help, but, everytime I try, I get pushed out of the way and told to stay out of it. There's only so many times I'm going to offer my help and get told no before I stop trying. If they don't want my help, then I'm not going to give it. I've got enough on my plate with school, SGA, and S.I.F.E.. I'll concentrate on that now.
