"Life is Either a Daring Adventure or Nothing."

 -Helen Keller

Well in wonderful news, I got the internship!!! I nearly jumped out of my seat in excitement yesterday when I received the email. Just when I thought I wasn't going to get it, I got it. Tomorrow I meet with the woman in charge and determine my schedule and get some readings. I'm dedicating 6 hours a week and it starts this Monday. I have so much to learn where I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I really hope the environment is super friendly, very inspiring, and passionate. I personally love anthropology students, professors, and student instructors because they are just so much more laid back, open minded, and funny! They're my kind of people. My immediate concern is my body and hair modifications, hopefully that won't be an issue. I imagine it not to be so much, but caution is necessary.

As for my job, I got laid off because of time constrictions. I was only available for such little time due to my disorderly school schedule and wasn't really needed in the times I was available resulting in me only to be scheduled for 2 to 4 hours a week. HR had to talk to my manager about the fact that my working this little wouldn't even cover the taxes being taken out, therefore I would end up just owing them. So the logical choice was to lay me off and welcome me back if I ever had the time to dedicate to them. This is particularly great news, this allows me to focus on school in my final semester, and also focus on being active in the college community for future references to put on my resume. And now, this gives me time to put towards the internship and also to look for a new job, which is what I was planning to do this semester all along. My plan is to have a job to come home to after my Europe trip in January. This internship will give me the opportunity to have more experience under my wings which will further gain me some advantage in my job search in which I did not have before. So to sum up, everything is working out quite nicely so far! I needed this.

The only downside was the fact that it was out of my control. This is the only job in which I lost. Granted, I've only had two jobs in my working life. So there were some feelings of shock and minor disorientation, but I'm mostly over it although being laid off is a different reality I have not experienced. Luckily for me all the things I have previously mentioned makes this situation a better one than a bad one.

School is going well so far, I definitely see this semester as a wholly interesting one. For once I have all classes that I'm really into and like equally. Language science, human osteology [with a lab!!!], women in other cultures, and bioethics in film: organ transplantation. I just dropped my online learning and memory class which is only a one credit hour class that I chose to make my schedule full time to keep my financial aid. I shall get a refund for this class since I dropped it soon enough, the internship adds two credit hours making my whole schedule 13 credit hours. Sweet!

Although it is kinda late, I wanted to post the horoscope for this month for the Scorpios out there:
As intense as others can find you, this month it will be easier to relax, particularly if you can indulge in a getaway around the second quarter Moon. Hearing from old friends or long-lost companions is likely, even if you're just Web surfing in the wee hours.

Today marks the birthday of one of my best friends and my boyfriend. Yep, both the same days. Damn Virgos. But I love them.
