Possible prayer answering today. I have an interview
next Wednesday at my internship. I believe the
Strategic Communications and Marketing Group would
be creating a position for me with a mixture of graphics,
writing, and PR. I was told not to get my hopes up
because the plan may not come through, but I'm still
crossing my fingers, toes, other appendages. I have a budding theory that the mass killing in Colorado was not unexpected. If the supposed and all-too-often thrown around "Trench Coat Mafia" was that well known, the residents must have expected something to happen. The whole incident makes my gut twist, but I can't help but think that it was all inevitable. Pessimistic? I don't know. Tomorrow morning I'm going to roll out of bed at 7:45am. brush my teeth and go to work in my pajamas. I have to play the children's hospital mascot (a cute bear with a Band-aid on his leg) for tomorrow's "Bring Your Child To Work Day." I don't think I could shed more sweat than I do in this huge costume. After 20 minutes I'm ready to faint. But, it is really cute and I love seeing the kids. And after that enlightening experience, I need to defend myself against the parking committee at school to convince them that giving me $70 worth of parking tickets is highly irrational. I'm in the parking lot for 6 hours a day/night and at midnight there are plenty of spaces for me to occupy. Plus, the lot I am supposed to park in is 3/4 mile away and cars have been vandalized frequently in the unmonitored lot. Ah joy.
