About a month ago I printed off an application form for internships with NPR and set it on my desk, telling myself I would get it done in a day or two. Well, a couple of weeks passed and I found the application the day before it was due and filled it out. Then, I had to decide which internship I wanted to apply for. Reading the descriptions I realized that I had to go with an internship without a writing sample because I didn’t have one ready and I had to have it post marked the next day. I sent the application off and was sure I wasn’t going to hear a thing because NPR clearly says on their site that they don’t call those that they aren’t interested in. So a week passed and I get this crazy little phone call from NPR requesting a phone interview which we set up for a week later. A week passed and NPR called me, interviewed me and I was absolutely that I wouldn’t hear anything back because I felt like an idiot, but then that Friday they called me back and I accepted the internship. I am now looking for a place in Washington D.C.!!! It’s only three months and it’s unpaid so I am hoping to sublet a place. It is just so crazy! One day I am looking desperately for any kind of job that doesn’t involve watering anymore stupid flowers and now I am looking for an apartment in D.C.!
In other news, this past weekend was spent in L-town being silly with Toi, Karen and Sleepygirl. The highlight of our weekend, in my opinion, was when Sleepygirl decided to ride a mechanical bull. It was fabulous. Good job Sleepygirl!!!! We need to do another weekend filled with shenanigans (and drinks) and those of you who couldn’t make it!!
p.s. Small update on my zip drive: I can have it fixed for $400, so I guess I will just forget about all the silly things on it, except I really wanted a copy of my research report....

Congrats to you!!!!!!!!
That is so awesome and (I'm not gonna lie) I'm a little bit jealous you get to live in Washington D.C. I love that city.
Besides, how could they not take you?
Expect me to visit!!!!
No, really. I have a week off in November and D.C. sounds cheaper than the trip to Europe I was planning!
@Toi -- You were going to go to Europe WITHOUT ME!?!?
Also, I'm so up for a visit too.
If you do end up moving.
And if I won't have to, you know, worry about being mugged by your next door neighbors.
Yay! DC is only a $34 train trip from Pitt.
Also, you could always leave in your car down by the White House. Think of the views!
