Tuesday of last week started nicely with a cold sweat, followed by vomiting. That continued through Wednesday, then Thursday was just drowsiness and a visit to Health and Wellness. Friday through Sunday were fine, but Monday brought a cough and, strangely enough, eye pain. It still hurts for me to move my eyes. It feels as though I've pulled the muscles that control eye movement. Not a good thing. Unfortunately I missed two midterms, but luckily both professors are being understanding and have scheduled make-up exams for next week.<br /><br />And you care this much----> .<br /><br />:) But I forgive you.<br /><br />In other news, I got a "totally sweet" call today from the Council on Foreign Relations. They told me to come up to Manhattan next week for a personal interview for a summer internship in their Publications dept.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the internship doesn't pay. They just offer a "modest stipend" upon completion. That's a big problem, because living in New York for ten weeks cost me $2600 on rent alone last summer.<br /><br />So I'm mulling over the cost-benefit analysis here. Does (work experience at CFR) + (value of having "CFR" on my resume) + (gratification of helping CFR) + (meeting important CFR people) outweigh (being broke)?<br /><br />Undoubtedly, working for CFR would be awesome, since they publish <em>Foreign Affairs</em> and are the general pimps of the IR world. But we'll have to see.<br /><br />I mailed in my Monterey Institute app earlier today. Working there would be beautiful. California for the summer...ah...<br /><br />And of course, the AllNighters concert fast approaches. We're hosting the Villanova Haveners, an all-girls' group...plus Shodekeh, a professional beatboxer. Will be an awesome time.<br /><br />Alright, I'm out. Peace in the Middle East.<br /><br />-ScootsJMRnoreply@blogger.com
