Now that I only have about three weeks left in the semester I find myself having a lot of work to do, but no motivation to get it done right away. I am so tired of doing homework all of the time! I wish I could say that I was going to have a break from it this summer, but I have to take an online class or two so that I don't have to overload on credits during my last semester. I am just waiting to register and then I will be set. I can't register until the last day because I am not registered to attend school in the summer...I hope I get the classes that I need. This week was slightly busier than previous weeks...Therefore, I have a little but more to post this time.
Monday was a great day. The weather was perfect! It felt like summer (finally!). It is interesting to watch how people react to warm days up in Rexburg. Monday is FHE night so, basically, everyone in my apartment complex went outside with their FHE groups. No one wanted to be inside. There were barbecues, people going to the park...Anything they could think of that involved the outdoors. Then there was our apartment. Seven o'clock came a went and none of our FHE brothers showed up. Usually they call us about FHE, but not this time. We called their apartment but no one answered. We waited about a half an hour and then went to Arctic Circle. It was fun. Then we came home and did homework...Not so fun. I have only talked to one of the guys, Scottie, about what happened on Monday. I think that he was the only one with a legitimate excuse. He got engaged and went down to meet his fiance's parents. As for the other guys...I guess we will find out tomorrow!
On Wednesday I had a phone interview for an internship that I had applied for. Can I just start by saying that I hate phone interviews? They are impersonal, and I never know what to say because I can't read the other person as well...Plus I was interviewing with two people at once. Fun. The interview went well. One of the ladies told me that she would send me an email with their decision by the end of the week. Which they did. I got the internship. Here is where I am conflicted. When I applied for this internship I was still a biology major, and it was a requirement for that major. When I switched my major I was no longer required to do an internship. The internship is at the Santa Anna Zoo. I would basically be shadowing a zoo keeper there. Which sounds like a blast, and something that would be right up my ally! Plus I would get to actually work with the animals. Problem...The internship is 40 hours a week, for ten weeks, is not paid, and is a bit of a drive. When I needed the internship I was going to get up around 5am and carpool with my Dad and then come back home around 5pm or so. I would get two days off a week. But Saturday and Sunday. Sunday maybe...But with Monday or something. I wouldn't be able to carpool on the weekends. The internship is not paid...That is the real problem. I need a paying job this summer...I mean, only if I want to be able to eat during the Fall. So now I am at a crossroads of sorts...I have no idea what to do...But I need to tell them my decision this week! Grrr....
On Thursday I went down to Provo, Utah. I went with my American humanities class. We had to leave at 6:15am. Yuck. So I woke up around 5:30am and got ready. At 6am I opened the front door to leave and discovered that there was a snowstorm. So I had to walk up to campus in a snowstorm early in the morning when I wasn't quite awake yet. I got up there and got in one of the vans. We sat around for awhile waiting for everyone to show up. It was a cozy little trip...The vans were not very comfortable. We all fell asleep pretty quickly. I woke up a few times, but got back to sleep again. It snowed the whole way to Provo. As we got further south the snow turned into a slushy snow-rain type of thing. It was coming down hard too. A couple times we ended up driving 25 MPH and could barely see outside.
Earlier in the week our instructor had told us that it was Spring in Provo and they had 60 degree weather. Yeah right. It was pouring rain when we got there. I mean, it looked like movie rain or something. It was coming down so hard. We finally got to the museum. We had arrived late so we had less time to look at things...We had originally planned on three hours in the museum. It didn't take us very long to go through the whole exhibit. Me and my friend Shawna even managed to find our way across the BYU campus (where the museum is located) and find the building that had the food court in it. That campus is huge! We got lost so many times. We ate some lunch and then went back to the museum. We got back in the vans and picked up some pizza for our trip back. It was still raining. It stopped raining once we got back into Idaho and then it was snowing again. In Rexburg, however, the snow had stopped around 4pm. So it was a little nicer than when we left. We got back around 6:45pm. I was so tired. So I just have to write a paper about what I saw at the museum.
On Friday my roommates and I, being sick of Rexburg, decided to go to Idaho Falls. My other roommate Mels works down there and usually stays with her Mom when she has to work the next day. We met her and a few of her friends. We went to this really good Chinese food place. The food was really good! But I will not recommend this restaurant for one reason. There are a couple of the cooks, male cooks, that stand up by the cash register and stare at you. They stared at us from the second we walked in until the second we left. It was really creepy. None of us wanted to go up and pay because the guys were right there. After that we went back to our apartment. Audra and I went to work on homework and stuff, and our other roommates started a movie.
On Saturday we did not do much. It was sort of a lazy day. Audra went to a couple stores and I picked up something to make for dinner, because Saturday is my dinner day. Later in the day we thought about renting "Silence of the Lambs" from Clean Flicks...Because a couple of our roommates had not seen it. But it was checked out already, so that was the end of that. Instead we went and got dipped cones from Dairy Queen and came home and hung out. I have a slight cold so I have been sort of tired lately. So I was glad that Saturday was not too eventful. In other news...I have no idea where my MP3 player is...It has to be somewhere in my room! That's it for now. What news will my next post bring? You'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, take care everyone!
