A new leaf.

Through my chattering teeth and frost bitten toes, I remember summer will be here soon.  Hard to imagine, right?  I actually wish I could hit the pause button on life for about a week to get stuff situated in my life.

Within the next week I have to get quite a bit done.  Here it is folks and my ridiculousness on the subjects!

Internships.
OMGoodness.  This is like a little kid in the candy store.  You can google 'internships for graduate students' and the results are in the millions.  So narrow it down a little to paid internships.  Still maybe half a million results.  Now it is up to me to research these.  Uffda!  This is the fun part, the dirty party is where I lose all confidence.  I need to make my electronic application stand apart.  Highlight on the resume: I was a bird?  Yeah, I know what you are thinking… that will stand apart and be placed in the DENIED pile.  I truly believe if I make it past round one I have a stellar chance in the phone interview/personal interview.  For pete's sake I would fly to Seattle to have that interview with Nike!

Here are some of my interested companies: General Mills (I would die and go to heaven if I got an interview with them), Nike, Consulting firms, Schwab Investments.
** Underlying goal: get done with the applications and be proud of what I did.

Thesis.
I need to propose the first week I get back.  I have not worked on this.  Bummer to socializing this week.

Work.
The Hy-Vee Fast Break Clinic is coming up on Jan. 29, and I am the head contact person.  Everyone has been great, but I really don't have any confidence in this project because I feel like I'm in the dark.  Shoot.
Also I have a birthday party to line up this week for work.  Rock it birthday girl!

Computer.
Remember when I dropped my Apple in the middle of the semester.  Well I need to get that fixed.  But I really cannot be without a computer for a while.  AHH!

Training.
Do I have a set schedule?  Nope, however, I feel I am more in-shape and aware of what I need to do for this half-marathon training.  I have a posting of my workouts.  In the future maybe I will elaborate if I felt like death during it or felt spectacular.  At least I have it in writing though.  And with only one class this semester I feel I can devote more time to training.  Rock on.

I know this was a bunch of rambles.  Thanks for reading and have a great week folks!
