Yeah, yeah

Fuck it, I started off dreamergrrl, I will always be dreamergrrl, so I should really just suck it up. Not like I’m ever here anyway.

Are we not allowed to say “fuck” in here? I can’t remember.

I have an awesome group of girlfriends for the first time in a long time. There was Aimee, Kim, and Emma back in high school – and I’m still friends with Aimee and Kim (Aimee’s in love and Kim’s engaged!!!!!), and there’s always been Gretchen and Kristen (Kristen probably most consistently, seeing as how she’s the only person I ever see when I go home these days), but I’ve never had girlfriends in college. It’s so nice – Carly, Caitlin, Aubrie, and Mikaela (and hopefully I can add Teresa to that soon) are all kind, intelligent, beautiful (inside and out), and interesting women, and I honestly feel privileged to be friends with them. It’s actually a bit of an adjustment – I’m usually one of 2 women in most of my classes, and I’m used to hanging out with men (well, let’s face it, they’re guys more than men per se) simply because there are more cool and nerdy guys around than girls.

I feel that I um… started babbling and lost my point. Point is, I have some kickass friends right now. Men and women included.

I’m in the middle of applying for summer internships. I already have one lined up in case everything else falls through, which is really nice. It would involved both programming and technical writing, which I think is actually a nice combination, but it’s in the middle of nowhere, and I get the feeling most of the people who work there are, well, on the conservative side of things. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Anyway, I’m beginning to apply some other places. I have my first power suit. Black with very fine pink pinstripes and light pink piping. I look extremely professional, if I do say so myself.

The heat in our room doesn’t work. We haven’t been able to turn the knob on the radiator, and maintenance has not responded to our requests yet. I’d say it was like 40, maybe 50 degrees in here this morning. So cold. I resort to wearing a hat and gloves sometimes… other times I just use my desk lamp as a personal heater. For example, right now it’s pointed directly at my keyboard, because my hands are freezing at the moment. Female centralized heating systems/extremities/all that. I’m jealous that Chris’ hands are always so warm and soft. Men. And there distributed heating systems. *sigh*

Well, I should probably get backing to writing that cover letter now. Oh, the lit mag is almost done being proofed – should be at the printers soon. I’m excited.
