why am i awake at this ungodly hour?
It's early. I realize for most working people are up at this hour. And I, myself, usually wake up @ 6:30am for work, well at least my alarm goes off...
I've been up since 5. I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep because I kept thinking of all the things I need to do. So I bit the bullet and got up and started making a to-do list.
I haven't updated in forever. Here's a summary of what's been going on.
Finished my internship with the 44th Ward Democratic Orgaization but am still helping out with fundraising events (I'm in it for the free liquor and networking)
Started a PAID internship with the Workers Assistance Committee which is a non-profit organization that helps dislocated workers (basically people who have been layed off) find new employment. I absolutely LOVE it. It is amazing to actually help people. I feel so much better considering working @ DePaul consists of me playing games online and doing homework. I'm still working on campus two days a week, which is fine, because I enjoy my co-workers.
Enough about work. Maggie is graciously providing me housing for the summer. We will be sharing a studio which will be snug, but I think we'll manage. So I'll get to save a ton of money (!!!) and get to live with Maggie a few more months before I head out to DC.
And DC...SO EXCITED!!!! I can't wait to be there. I won't find out where I'm interning until mid-August but I'm starting to lean towards Senator Durbin opposed to Obama. I love Obama, but I think Durbin is a better choice in terms of having the best experience...not to mention he's the minority whip which gives him a lot of power. Granted Democrats are lacking power in general, but still. So yeah. I'm excited. I need to start building up my professional wardrobe.
Just finished Kerouac's The Dharama Bums which was almost as good as On The Road. It gave me that stircrazy feeling of just wanting to forget about everthing and take off for somewhere. Don' know where, don't care where, just somewhere. I wish I could do that. Leave everything and just go. No plans, just leave everything behind to truly discover yourself and the world. *sigh* maybe someday.
Next I wil read On Bullshit. I have a long list of books I want to get through. Trying to take a break from politically themed books as I feel I've been overloaded as of late and I don't want to be burntout in DC.
Ok, I need to shower, go to the bank and cleaners, return books to the library and head into work.
