I had a bunch of interesting posts, but I never ended up posting so, so much for that.

Things have been good lately but busy. I just got an internship with the Onondaga County Division of Management and Budget. As it is what I want to do when I "grow up" it is a good fit for me. My boss is pretty cool. She goes a million miles a minute. It is interesting being an intern as a graduate student rather than an undergrad. They trust you with a lot more responsibility. They actually give you stuff to do off the bat rather than copying and answering phones for the first month. The project I'm working on is pretty neat. It is funny because the professor I am a graduate assistant for did some consulting work for them and made the project I am working on. It should be good.

Also, I am starting to have to figure out what I am doing next year. My life seems like an endless stream of applications and personal statements. I am trying to get some letters of reccomendation out of old professors, but they are not responding. It is annoying but how can I hunt them down. I might try the "my email isn't working" trick to email them again without seeming hounding. But I need to know. I am okay with no jsut tell me. Arrrrggghhh. I hate asking for letter of reccommendation.

I am going to DC thursday. I can't wait. There is a Leadership alumni reception and some people who I didn't think who would be there are going to. It makes me happy. I will also get to see all my friends that I haven't seen since may. It will be nice to hang out with them.

Also, I heard a really good song on npr the other day. Morning Edition profiled this band called Antony and the Johnsons. The singer's voice is amazing. Really haunting. If you go to the npr page you can hear the whole song. Click on "Hope there's someone"

That is all for now. I am such a slacker and need to do work.
