paperwork done
I have that interview for the internship next Wednesday. It's early for me to do it, since I'm not in my last semester, yet... but because the 'continuous enrollment' policy on my scholarship screwed up my last semester credit-wise, the Dean's letting me do it over the summer. She approved me today... so now I just have to get Patrice to sign the paperwork since she's the internship coordinator and I'll be all done with that. I see her tomorrow for more S.I.F.E. work, since she's on our business advisory board. She told me I could give her the forms then.

The internship will be database work for internal security at the Suffolk County Jail. I'll need to buy myself clothes (I don't have a lot of business suits that fit me properly right now, and none of them have pants anyway)... and it's not a paid internship... but the money I'm getting from work study (which will continue until June) should hopefully cover that. I lucked out and Financial Aid approved me for extra money in the 'unmet need' category... now I can work more hours and get more money. ^_^

That's a good thing.

Also, this internship will be a good networking opportunity for me in the law enforcement world, which is one of the paths I have a deep interest in lately. I'm looking forward to it.

speaking of work study
So... the guy I was supposed to tutor to help him through his math class never showed up for anything. I told him that I'd be in Student Services all week... and I was there when his classes let out. All he had to do was come on down and see me.

He never did.

Dorkwad.

Oh well, it's his grade. If he doesn't want to make the effort to improve his shot, than he deserves what he gets. I'm not gonna bend over backwards to get this guy going if he's not going to make the effort to meet me. Especially since I have a ton of other things that I needed to be doing while at work study.

So there. XP

party people!!
The party went well. All the pretty lights were mine... except the net, which was Barbara's. We did the whole building up to look like an enchanted garden, which was our theme. It came out really nice. We're going to leave some of the decorations up for Monday night's awards ceremony.

The DJ was really cool... and he's a student at the school, so he was really happy to do it and knew most of us at the party anyway. That was pretty neat. I also got to see Michelle & Jim. John came with me, and he was really excited to see the two of them as well.

We had a good time.

big news
EEEEEEE!!!!

Michelle's going to have a baby. She finally saw the doctor, and they're projecting January for her due date. I'm so psyched for her. They've been trying for a few months now, and they had success. I'm so happy for her and Jim! I wish them the best of luck with everything.

The first vacuum was so large, (how large was it? sorry... couldn't resist) it had to be brought to a house by horses.
