I was told early this morning that one of my prose pieces will be published in the school's literary journal, and I'm thrilled. It is a piece that I was already pretty proud of, but I'm even more proud of it now. It's the first time I will ever be published!
Also, our campaign finally launches tomorrow! My amazing candidates, Mason and Tiffany, will do an official launch of the campaign about 3 1/2 hours before their first debate - with one opposing ticket, we've got some work cut out for us, but I've got a lot of faith in my team - they're going to do great. The website is just about finished, and once we pick up our fliers and merchandise tomorrow, we'll really be ready to paint the campus PINK! (You can check out what is finished of the website at www.votepink2010.org.)
This weekend I head for Pullman for a basketball game versus the University of Washington, and I can't wait! I'm going with an amazing group of people, and it should be a great break for me. Another coffee date with Michelle is scheduled for next Friday, my internship is really interesting and most of my classes are going well, so I definitely have things to look forward to. I have to tell you, though, the thing I need most is a big fat hug from someone - and I'm not sure where to find that. Maybe one will turn up if I wish hard enough.

crazy cakes.
My life has felt like a tornado since I last posted. Let's see if I can sum this up in the time I have left before class.
Washington, DC was not what I expected. First of all, the dynamic was different. Maybe I've reached my peak with the organization. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but it made for an interesting weekend. On top of that - I got some kind of bug. I'm pretty sure it was food poisoning - either the one restaurant I went to that no one else did on Friday night served me bad chicken or I had a bad reaction to something everyone else ate, but I was ill. I missed all of the sessions on Sunday, which threw my weekend off. Serena and I had a great time lobbying on Monday though (I was completely fine when I woke up that morning), and there are still good things to remember about the weekend. Some parts of it were a total bust, though.
Since then, things have been a little hectic. It has only been a week, but with Monday spent in DC and on the plane, I felt like my week was incredibly short. I did write a piece for my creative writing class that I completely love, but I want to edit the mistakes and add some more detail to it and I'm not allowed to edit it. It is driving me crazy, but I guess I'll wait. I have no reason to doubt my Creative Writing professor.
I've also finally started delving in to my internship. Part of it was my fault - I've had the reading for weeks and have been putting them off to do other things instead. But I'm getting in to them now and I think I like them - some of the stuff I'm reading is a little over my head, but I'm doing my best. My meetings with the Student Affairs professionals start on Friday, so hopefully that will be good.
Otherwise I'm just trying to manage my time better. I can't seem to get myself to focus, and I don't know if I'm overwhelmed, or bored, or frustrated - but something is getting to me, and I need to get rid of it. Too bad that next therapy appointment isn't for several weeks. Look like I'm going to have to figure this one out for myself - and we all know how well that goes.
