So it turns out a scheduled power outage ruined Mr. Rose's plans to hold us captive in Godfrey this saturday. So instead I went shopping to prepare for my internship this fall. Right now I live at home (my parents preferred not to spend about $6000 more just so I could live on campus) so I've never lived on my own before. So obviously I'm super excited about it. But also I'm kind of lost. Finding an apartment is so hard, especially 5 hours away. And then there's buying all the things I need while living on my own. Plus I have to dress business casual, and I personally have barely any clothes like that. And in addition to that, the few clothes I did have no longer fit due to a large amount of weight I've lost in the last year (not that I'm complaining about that of course!) So I ended up spending about $200 on 16 shirts and 3 pairs of pants and some jewelry. So anyway...back to my internship. I'll be interning at RR Donnelley and unfortunately the expensive Durham apartments will taking up most of my salary. So my plan to save up for a Mac is probably shot now. But oh well. I'm super excited about my internship! The women I'll be working with are so nice and helpful, so that eases my nervousness a little. Lots on my mind though...
PS: photography trip planned for Monday after 207!
