All of my technology is friendly to me.

There are 26 days until the semester is completely over! I'll be coming home on may 14th or 15th. The most exciting part is that I get to move most of my stuff into the house that I'm going to be living in next year. I am unbelievably excited to be living off campus next year. I'll get to cook my own food, have people over (not that I can't do that right now) and have roommates while still having my own room. Plus, I feel like living off campus is the step between campus and graduation/living on my own. I'll still be in school and probably working on campus, but I'll be starting to pay my own bills and cook my own food. I'm so excited! I don't know most of my roommates super well, but I think that will be kind of fun. I'll get to meet all sorts of new friends since we're in completely different circles of friends.

Even though there are only a few weeks of school left, I'm super overwhelmed with everything that I have to get done in the remaining class time. I have at least three major projects to do that I have yet to start, in addition to more reading, and a lot more tests. But, I'll get it all done somehow. I always do.

Another reason why I wish the school year would last longer is my fear of summer. I applied for 5 internships and have now applied for 14 jobs at various coffee and retail places. I haven't heard back from any of the internships - not even to recognize that they received my application. It's frustrating because I want it so bad! I worked really hard on my resume and cover letters, so to have it not pay off - at all, is really discouraging. I'm still hoping that I'll hear back from one of them, since it's still relatively early. I've gotten two calls so far from the 14 job applications, one of them didn't pan out because they need someone right now, and I'm still in the process of getting back in contact with the other place that called me back. I don't want to be out of work like I was last summer. It was pretty much the lamest summer of my life. I had applied to 12 places with no luck. I'm hoping by upping my number this year, I'll have better luck. I still want one of the internships more than anything though. I'm just going to have to keep praying about it.

In other news, I got a new cell phone yesterday! My other phone has been having charging issues for about a month now. I've been having to ghetto rig the charger to my phone with rubber bands in order for it to charge. But then it randomly started turning off or restarting, or not sending text messages when I wanted it to. Then one day it randomly turned off in the middle of the night, so my alarm didn't go off and I ended up missing two classes. Lesson learned: always have a back up alarm. So anyway, it finally crapped out on me and stopped charging completely on friday, so I was without a phone for three days. It was surprisingly more inconvenient than you'd think it would be. So Sunday I decided I couldn't wait any more so I went to the Verizon store. They were characteristically unhelpful as per usual. I ended up picking the Motorola Devour, and I have to say that so far, I am in love with it! It works marvelously. The touch screen is a thousand times more responsive than my old phone (a crappy Samsung Glyde), and it runs on android, which is awesome. I've already gotten a few free apps, but haven't explored the selection too much yet. It's just nice to have a phone that I don't have to fight with on a daily basis. Now all of my technology is friendly to me - my lovely new macbook pro and now a new phone! I am a happy girl.

It is just the beginning of a wonderful new relationship.

There are only five weeks left in the semester. This is both wonderful and horrible news. It is wonderful because that means I get to go home soon and not have 8AM classes anymore. It is horrible because I still don't know what I'm going to do this summer. I sent in my resume for four different record label internships in Seattle. I haven't heard back from any of them yet, not even to recognize that they received my resume, and I'm starting to get worried. I think I'm going to email them again on Monday (that will make two weeks since I sent my resumes) just to check in. There are two other internships I'm going to apply for - one is for an advertising agency in Seattle and one is for the City of Seattle as an event promotion internship. Hopefully one of the six will pan out! Some of them probably aren't paid, which would mean I'd still need to try to find a part time job. From what I'm hearing, the job market isn't any better than it was last summer. I wasn't able to find work last summer, even after applying to twelve places, so that worries me as well. I'm praying super hard about all of this! If it's God's will for me to have an internship, it will happen, and I'm trying to do my part.

Tomorrow is Easter. It will be my first Easter away from home. I'm pretty sad about it. I didn't think it was going to be a big deal for me, but I chose not to drive home for the weekend, and I'm kinda upset that I didn't. Spring break was last week, so I didn't want to do the drive two weekends in a row. It's just weird to be here and not with family. My mom said she sent me an easter basket though, which should get here tuesday or wednesday. That will make me feel a little bit better. And I have new glasses coming in the mail that I ordered over spring break.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my last post, but I got a new computer...a macbook pro. It is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I seriously can't even begin to describe how great it is to have a computer that works so marvelously and doesn't try to fight with me. It is just the beginning of a wonderful new relationship.

Me and Rebecca have been looking into living off campus next year and it looks like it might actually happen! We found a couple girls through a friend of ours and they were looking for two more roommates for the house they're living in right now. We've already looked at the house and met with the girls. We're pretty positive that it'll happen, we're just trying to figure out the logistics with our parents and what not. I'm really excited. It will be nice to live in a house - we can make our own food and share a bathroom with one other person instead of 15! The house is within walking distance of campus so I can walk on nice days, which would be great. All of the girls are super nice, so it should be fun!

I've been realizing lately that though I don't have a large number of friends, the ones I do have are the best I could ask for. Since I started college, some friends that I was really close to have (very unfortunately) drifted away, and I have gotten closer to others that were not the greatest friends before. I've made friendships in college that will hopefully last a very long time. The people I choose to surround myself with are great people, and we always laugh when we're together. I appreciate all of them more than they'll know.
