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.
