Over the river and through the woods...

As for my life, we'll just say that things are... going... At this point, I'm really not sure where. The Oregon Voice has officially eaten my soul. So I am now, yes, officially, a soulless demon woman. Whee! Classes should be amusing this fall. Aside from Japanese, I'm taking some philosophy crap, journalism, tai chi and scuba. My last term of three academic classes... to even CONSIDER going abroad (which I'm gonna do next fall instead of this spring), I need to cram the rest of my classes four to a term. Gah. But hopefully a semester in Japan will take care of some of my required coursework... uh, specifically language. I'm still giddy about a busy fall; these last two weeks have proven to me two things... 1) I'm the most organized person I know and 2) I will kill myself if I keep working this hard. And classes haven't even started yet! Yeep!

Looks like I might be stuck living by myself again this fall. Granted, I'll be staying in a 2 bedroom apartment with one half the rent paid by a non-existent Justin but it would still suck. His masters program requires an internship that's usually given through one of five Eugene based companies (or there's one in Bend and one in Woodburn). This year there were three students from the programs interviewing for all the positions and the same woman got every offer and then, one by one, turned them all down. She ended up not even interning with any of the companies (local or not) and setting up her own deal with-get this- L'Oreal Paris.Fucking makeup! I don't really blame her for getting the offers, she was well-spoken, talented, and a good demographic. But after being spurned by the student they wanted, these companies decided to be asses and 'not take interns' for this year. So he's pretty screwed and the only lab still interested in interns has been Bend. One call after another the pouty chemistry companies have decided they'd rather wank off than help support the Masters Polymer Chemistry program which they have agreed to support. So unless something else comes up it's "goodbye Eugene; hello Bend" for Justin and back to a long distance relationship for Kat. Crap.
